SwitchFilesFeature

To ensure the correct functionality of this feature make sure you did setup your java/template paths in the Preferences!

This feature is a function which can be found in the navigate menubar (Navigate > Go To > Switch to Template/JavaFile) which allows you to switch back and forth between a tapestry template file and a tapestry component file. E.g you can switch from WizardPage.java to WizardPage.tml

Further characteristics are:

a file which is being switched to will be opened in case it wasn't before
the default ending of .tml can be changed on the Preferences page to .html
this action can be triggered by the shortcut Ctrl-Alt-x
the location for java/template files has to be defined in the preferences

In Eclipse 3.3 for Mac OS X, the switch works from .tml to .java but doesn't work from .java to .tml

I'm using that with tapestry 4 and only works from html to java but not from java to html. I'm using XP, Eclipse 3.4.1 and loom 1.0.4

sorry for the late reply, what paths are you guys using for your template and java directories? if you use the development version don't forget to setup your paths in the preferences.

to maciekkreft, you might have other eclipse plug-ins using the loom shortcut, you should be able to use the shortcut by assigning a different one to either loom or the plug-in which is also using Ctrl+Alt+X

Nice plugin. I am using groovy. Plugin version 2 works greate but, when the page is a groovy file loom dose not work.

jugn78, you are right it doesn't recognize the .groovy ending. To use it with groovy i recommend having a look at: http://code.google.com/p/switch-eclipse-plugin/

it is an experimental plugin i created which provides a customizable switching feature. Which means you can use it for any type of file you like. It is a bit hacky to setup but once you have the configuration right it'll do the job.

It gets lost if there is Pages with the same name but in different paths. The Switching always go to the first match.

But nice plugin.
