Welcome to my new gadgets and geekery weblog. Now a distinct area within my larger <a href="http://www.sorcerers-isle.net">Sorcerer's Isle</a> weblog, 100% Geek covers gadgets, gaming, technology, tinkering, and any other random ramblings I feel like throwing in here. Eclipse

<p>I recently* completed my very first Eclipse Plugin, and I found the whole experience to be very interesting.<br/> <small class="a">*(well about a month ago; took me longer to get writing this than intended)</small></p> <p>This blog entry will focus on two main areas - my experience with Eclipse (as opposed to CFEclipse and similar), and the issues I encountered from a development perspective</p>

<p>The first pre-release version of the qpScanner Eclipse Plugin is now available.</p> <p>This is the very first Eclipse plugin I have created. It was an interesting experience, and something that I will be writing up in a separate entry as soon as I can collect my thoughts.</p> <p>It order to use the plugin, you must be using v0.7 or higher of qpScanner - if you do not yet have this, you can download the <a href="http://www.hybridchill.com/downloads/qpscanner/latest.zip">latest development version of qpScanner</a>, which contains details of the Update Site to use. If for any reason you cannot use the regular Eclipse Update method, you can directly <a href="http://eclipse.hybridchill.com/plugins/hybridchill.eclipse.qpscanner_0.1.0.0.jar">download the qpScanner Eclipse Plugin</a> instead.</p> <p>Just to be clear, both v0.7 of QueryParam Scanner and v0.1 of the qpScanner Eclipse Plugin are currently considered development releases, and are being made available so that they can be tested and any bugs that might exist can be found - if you are unwilling to use pre-release software you should wait until the official release.</p> <p>If you do get the Eclipse Plugin, or even just qpScanner on its own, I welcome any and all feedback you might have - whether to report bugs you have found, request new features you would like, or simply to let me know that works with your local setup.</p> <p>Please send feedback via email to qpscanner_project@hybridchill.com or alternatively add a comment below.</p> <br/> <p>Related websites:</p> <ul class="compact"> <li><a href="http://www.hybridchill.com/projects/qpscanner.html">QueryParam Scanner official website</a></li> <li><a href="http://qpscanner.riaforge.org">QueryParam Scanner project page at RIAForge</a></li> </ul>
