Since there has been interest in writing User Plugins this last month, I've decided to be more serious about it.

Counterclockwise User Plugins allow you to customize Counterclockwise / Eclipse with Clojure!!

User Plugins are...

- Safe: plug / unplug user plugins by adding / deleting repos clones from ~/.ccw/
- Dynamic: with the help of ccw-plugin-manager, you can open your user plugins as regular Eclipse projects, use the Eclipse embedded REPL to interact with your current environment *live*, as usual with Clojure!
- Powerful: user plugins are added to Counterclockwise's classpath and can access the same Eclipse services Counterclockwise has access to.
- Agile: updating a user plugin is as simple as 1. git checkout 2. Alt+U S (re[S]tart plugins)

[ANN] ccw-plugin-manager Plugin
I've created a Github repository for the mother of all CCW User plugins: ccw-plugin-manager.
The intent of this plugin is to provide tooling for developing User Plugins !

The plugin is available at Github, with Installation and Usage in the README: https://github.com/laurentpetit/ccw-plugin-manager

Documentation:

More to come:
- ccw-plugin-hello-world: a project for helping get started with User Plugins, showing the basics and explaining the expected workflow.
- ccw-plugin-async: a project for connecting to save actions, launch actions, repl interactions, etc.

Enjoy!

Hi again, 

I've published the 'Hello World' of User Plugins project: https://github.com/laurentpetit/ccw-plugin-hello-world

The README describes how to install it, and how to live code it.

Cheers,

Hello,

Indeed, I should address the API discovery by publishing the docs, thanks for the reminder!
I've been busy these last few days trying to fix the messy release I did last Thursday (almost done, involved revisiting the whole way the CCW/standalone products were built, though).

Here are complementary information:

- defining commands, handlers and key bindings: https://github.com/laurentpetit/ccw/blob/master/ccw.core.e4/src/clj/ccw/e4/dsl.clj (there's an issue with key bindings I'm working on, but it's not blocking because it's possible to use the eclipse preferences to set them)

Of course, I suggest that people starting to write user plugins manifest themselves on the CCW mailing list. This will help boost my interest into being even more serious about polishing the internals of the code, publishing the API. I should also think about how to expose which parts should be considered internal to CCW and which parts "public user plugin Apis".

FWIW this sparked my interest to give CCW another try.

I suggest everyone to at least take a look at the source of hello world plugin:


I wanted to see what features of eclipse is exposed, but I couldn't find CCW's API docs hosted anywhere. Instead I've found this:
