Eclipse Database Plug-ins By: Vipul Narain
Introduction • Integrate plug-in with Eclipse Workbench • Compare Eclipse Database Plug-in
Topics of Discussion • What is Eclipse? • What is workbench? • What is perspective? • What is plug-in? • How to integrate plug-ins with Eclipse workbench? • Compare features of Quantum and SQL Edge Plug-ins
What is Eclipse In November 2001, IBM , Object Technology Integration (OTI) and eight other companies launched Eclipse. Here are three main features of Eclipse: • Java/ J2EE Development • Tool Integration Platform • Developed as Open Source
What is workbench Workbench provides an interface to user to an eclipse IDE. In a crude analogy it is like a stadium where different games are played. As an IDE, eclipse IDE to perform multiple tasks like development, testing, versioning, debugging etc. Workbench provides the conduit to these tasks similar to stadium where different games could be played.
What is a perspective? “ A Perspective in Eclipse defines a set of editors and views arranged in an initial layout for a particular role or task” . Eclipse supports following perspectives: • Java • Java Browsing • Java EE (default) • Resource • Debug • Java Type Hierarchy • Planning • Team Synchronizing • JPA Development • Plug-in Development • Database Debug • Database Development • CVS Repository Exploring
What is plug-in? Plug-ins allow Eclipse to be extended. This feature is called extensibility. Plug-in contributes to enhancing Eclipse by the additional capabilities added. This helps delivering tools which are simple to use with more consistent implementation. In our activity we compare features of two Database plug-ins – Quantum and SQL Edge.
How to integrate plug-ins with Eclipse We will have a demo for how plug-in could be integrated with the Eclipse workbench. But here we need to point out that we could integrate a plug-in from external site (allows updates) or develop a plug-in locally. We have downloaded plug-in from Eclipse Central
Comparative features of SQL Edge and Quantum We will refer to comparison from our main paper:
