0.9.0.20110619 Eclipse-plugin

[skoehler]

I'd like to announce the availability of an update of the Eclipse plug-in. Things are now much more in line with the usual way of working with Eclipse:

• There are two new project wizards, one for Java programs running on the NXT itself and one for programs that run on the PC and remote control the NXT
• classes.jar is not referenced with an absolute path anymore, instead a classpath library is used
• Use the green play button to upload and run your programs
• Embed one of the two debug monitors in debug mode
• Sets nxj.home variable for Ant builds

Enjoy!

As usual, the update-site is:
http://lejos.sourceforge.net/tools/eclipse/plugin/nxj/

Note:
Re-convert your old projects for NXT-side programs that have been created with the previous plug-in.

Note 2:
Some users have reported trouble with uploading programs to the NXT via USB. The symptoms are as follows: the first upload works, but subsequent uploads fail and the name of the NXT is suddenly reported as "Unknown". This issue is fixed in version 0.9.0.201112042016 of the plug-in which is now available at the update-site mentioned above.

Meanwhile, 0.9.0.201202141552 has been released. It's available via the update-site URL given above. It is compatible with 0.9.1.
It includes a few bugfixes and a few new features (setting target NXT per run configuration).

Take a look at the current tutorial:

Note: The plug-in requires Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) or newer.
