What's New & Noteworthy in eclipse-jmx 0.2.0

eclipse-jmx 0.2.0 improvements are related to the replacement of the MBean Info view by a MBean Multi-Page Editor. This MBeanEditor displays the MBean features in several different pages to make the UI less cluttered

See ReleaseNotes_0_2_0 for a list of the issues fixed in this release.

MBean Editor

The MBean Info View has been replaced by the MBean Editor. The MBean Editor is composed of several pages: * the Attributes page * the Operations page * the Info page

The Attributes& Operations pages display a list for either the MBean attributes or operations as well as details for the selection.

It is possible to toggle the layout between the list and the details either vertically (by default) or horizontally:

MBean Explorer

Since it is now possible to have many MBean Editors opened at the same time, the MBean Explorer has a Link With Editor checkbox to synchronize selections between the active MBean Editor and the MBean explorer(and vice versa)

The MBean explorer displays the MBean features (both attributes and operations) in its hierarchy. Double-clicking on a feature will open a MBean Editor, display the page corresponding to the feature type and select the feature.

Open MBean Action

A Navigation action has been added to help opening MBeans in a MBean Editor. This action is available either throug the menu Navigate > Open MBean... or using the key shortcut Ctrl + Shift + M (⌘ + Shift + M on Mac OS X)
