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

Posted by Kelvin in Coding, IDE, Java, PHP on 06 21st, 2009 | 10 Comments

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

Posted by Kelvin in Eclipse, IDE, Java, Projects, Uncategorized on 06 10th, 2009 | 15 Comments

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.

Eclipse losing track of files?

Posted by Kelvin in Coding, Eclipse, IDE on 04 30th, 2009 | 2 Comments

One of the most annoying things about Eclipse is the way it manages files and will refuse to open anything which has been edited outside of the IDE, typically it will throw a ResourceException with the message showing “Resource is out of sync with the file system”.

This problem can be alleviated by either right clicking on the file and selecting “Refresh”, or if you find it happening frequently, Go to Preferences -> Workspace and enable the “Refresh Automatically” option, do note it appears Eclipse updates on a timer, not when you open the file, so it may take a while to detect the change. (You got a better method? or am I wrong? leave a comment and let me know).

Having problems with Eclipse 3.4.2 + Proj-X Transfer?

Posted by Kelvin in Eclipse, IDE, Java on 04 14th, 2009 | 4 Comments

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

Posted by Kelvin in Coding, Eclipse, IDE, Java, News on 02 22nd, 2009 | 5 Comments

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.
