New Eclipse plugin that integrates Google's Code Search API. Features include:
Editor integration
Pageable reults table with tooltip previews
Result pages open inside the editor
Re: Eclipse Google Code Search Plugin 1.0.0 Released
For the most part, I think JavaForge is nice. Lot's of extra bonuses for free. But if there is a 'release' mechanism one should use, I have not found it. Placing a zip in the documents section is the closest I have found.
If anyone knows better, can they point it out to me?
Re: Eclipse Google Code Search Plugin 1.0.0 Released
There seem to be a few bugs. Specifically, I tried a search for "Canvas". I moused over one of the results and got the cute little results popup. However, the popup never went away, and I had to actually close Eclipse to banish it from my screen.
Also, I would suggest that instead of opening a web browser for the search results on double click, by default I'd have it open an editor read only for the downloaded source. I'm not entirely sure how feasible this is, but if you could pull it off that would be increadible.
I would also suggest simplifying the search results view and making it a bit more visually appealing. As informative as full screen raw tables are (8 pt font), they're difficult to follow in a coding situation.
Re: Eclipse Google Code Search Plugin 1.0.0 Released
Funny, I just use Eclipse's own Help>Search and set up a web search with a google url to do the google code search..very effective and no plugin to load..
Plus I can turnit off an don depending upon the search I might be completing..

You do not want to do that 8-). Javaforge is not perfect, but much better in most areas of project management than sourceforge, IMHO.Re: Eclipse Google Code Search Plugin 1.0.0 Released

Re: Eclipse Google Code Search Plugin 1.0.0 Released
Any chance to build update site? I do it for Luntbuild Eclipse plugin using Javaforge, see http://www.javaforge.com/proj/summary.do?proj_id=70 andhttp://www.javaforge.com/proj/doc.do?doc_id=3229.
I am always more inclined to try and use plugins that have update site (but maybe this is just me 8-).
Re: Eclipse Google Code Search Plugin 1.0.0 Released
I agree. I much prefer update sites....but I am just lazy.I will look at your links tonight and see if I can provide the same.
Thanks for the info!

Re: Eclipse Google Code Search Plugin 1.0.0 Released
OK, the update site *should* be working now. If anyone is brave enough to give it a shot, please let me know if it worked for you.Eclipse Update Site:

Other than that, great plugin!

Re: Eclipse Google Code Search Plugin 1.0.0 Released
OK, a new version is up. I switched to using a TableTreeViewer and dropped the custom tooltip.I like the idea of grabbing the raw source, but the API does not support that feature.
Thanks for the feedback!
