BeanInfo Bridge![]() This feature requires that VA Assist be installed into VisualAge Java. VA Assist is can be downloaded and installed from here.
Neither WebSphere Studio Application Developer 4.0 nor Eclipse 2.x includes a BeanInfo editor. The BeanInfo Bridge feature allows you to access the VA Java BeanInfo editor from within Application Developer/Eclipse by simply clicking on a class or compilation unit and selecting the "Edit BeanInfo" command. Technically, this involves quite a bit of cooperative magic between Application Developer/Eclipse and VA Java.
All of the CodePro / VA Assist integration features may be configured via the
"CodePro | VA Assist"
options page. On the VA Java side, the Application Developer/Eclipse integration features may be configured
via the "VA Assist | Application Developer/Eclipse" options page. |
Are there any special considerations when using ClearCase? |
---|
Yes. ClearCase
uses a pessimistic "check-in/check-out" model. Many operations in
Application Developer/Eclipse will
fail unless a type is properly checked out before editing (refactoring, for example). The
same is true for specific CodePro features such as the VCE
Bridge and BeanInfo Bridge. In order for the "Edit GUI" and "Edit
BeanInfo" commands to work, make sure that the class that you plan to edit has been
properly checked out from ClearCase. |
