Eclipse HTTP EFS plugin
September 13th, 2006
A while back I mentioned I’d be creating a HTTP EFS plugin. I finally got around to uploading the source (licensed under EPL) and a binary build onto Cape Clear’s developer website.
Note this is only a first cut but feedback is more than welcome to john.oshea@capeclear.com
I encourage you to add a link to this on http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Talk:EFS.
This works ok – I can see 1001 uses for it too. Thanks John
Can you tell me what happened with this plugin as capeclear doesn’t seem to exist anymore?
Hey,
Capeclear were taken over by Workday but I think their developer website was taken offline shortly after the takeover. Afraid I have no idea what happened to the source for the plugin, I don’t think Eclipse ever built an equivalent into the core platform but you could ask John Arthorne (commented above) or someone else from the WTP team.
Either way, there wasn’t a whole lot of code to the plugin, maybe two very simple classes (it wasn’t a complete implementation of the EFS APIs, just enough to allow a HTTP based resource to be loaded into a project)
