JarLaunch
If you've spent any time doing Java programming with
Eclipse it must have occurred to you that support for viewing and editing Jar
files is a little limited. Having used Eclipse for over eighteen months, and
since I hadn't yet built an Eclipse plugin, I decided to dive right in and build
a viewer/editor that would let me stop using File Explorer or WinZip(1) for
manipulating the Jar files in my projects. Hopefully forever.
Five days later here it is: JarPlug, the Java
ARchive PLUGin for Eclipse (sorry... :). And what days: going up the learning
curve of Eclipse plugin internals and trying to figure out a workflow paradigm
for editing Jar files that made sense inside the Eclipse IDE. More on that later
