Proj-x Transfer v1.2.0 … come and get it!

Transfer v1.2.0 is available for download from here, please be aware that the new version requires you have the DLTK is installed.

UPDATE: Note that I developed, compiled and tested this release of Transfer with Eclipse 1.4.5 and PDT 2.1 available from here and it works!  if you experience problems with Transfer and would like me to fix it, then you need to provide precise details on what your running and how I can recreate the problem, if you don’t, then your requests will be ignored.

So, please let me know if you have any problem, and don’t forget to leave precise details.

Proj-x Transfer fix

I’ve finally had some free time to spend on fixing Transfer, it seems the problems were not caused by bugs, instead other plug-ins such as PDT (from v2 onwards) changed the way they’re implemented and started using the Eclipse DLTK (Dynamic Language Tool Kit) which meant Transfer no longer knew how to process requests from the new PHP Explorer (This was not a problem for me, as I use an older version of PDT).

Anyway, I will release a test version of Tranfer 1.2 shortly, note its not final, I intend to add more error checking and some default settings.

Please note the new version of Transfer required the DLTK be installed, I’ll add instructions for this when I release the test.

Having problems with Eclipse 3.4.2 + Proj-X Transfer?

Transfer is currently incompatible with Eclipse v3.4.2, there seems to be a problem where it registers its menu items and settings page. I’ll look into this as soon as I can, in the mean time please stick with v3.4.1 or remove Transfer until I can get this fixed.

Proj-x Transfer v1.1.1 is now available

I’ve finally got some free time to update Proj-x Transfer, so these are the changes in version 1.1.0

  • Keyboard shortcuts now work in the Editor, what ever your working on will be Queued/Uploaded/Downloaded.
  • Added option to set PASV or ACTIVE transfer in the Project Properties.
  • Fixed remote permissions bug which caused the plugin to constantly generate “Access Denied” error’s and eventually crash.

The latest version can be downloaded from the Transfer homepage

as with all things Eclipse, getting the Editor Shortcuts was a little tricky, I’ll save that for a later post.

UPDATE: After testing the update at work I found the Editor shortcuts didn’t work with PDT, so I’ve made a fix for this and released it as v1.1.1.

My Eclipse Plugin.. Projx Transfer

At work we’ve recently migrated from using the Nusphere PhpED IDE to Eclipse and PDT, the benefits offered by Eclipse are massive, not least its huge archive of available plug-ins.

The one thing I’ve desperately missed about Nusphere is the ability to right click a file and deploy it directly from the Project Explorer, this is about the only thing that I’ve not managed to find a reliable plug-in – So I decided to implement one myself, heres a sample screenshot 

I’ve called it Projx Transfer, it integrates with Eclipse Project Explorer, each project can be transferred to different destinations via FTP, files and folders can be transferred by selecting Upload or Download from their context menu’s, additionally it allows items to be queued for bulk transfers.

You find more details and downloads at http://www.proj-x.org/eclipse-plugins/projx-transfer/, the source code is also available.
