New Plugin: wxCrafter Integration with CodeBlocks

(1/5) > >>

Hi,

I wrote a small plugin that integrates wxCrafter Standalone application with CodeBlocks
The plugin includes:

- Instantly create a wxWidgets project using a wizard with wxCrafter resource file
- Added new view 'wxCrafter' tab which allows you to quickly create a new "wxForm"
- All generated files are automatically added to the project and to all build targets

The source code for the plugin can be found here:
https://github.com/eranif/wxCrafterCB

A short video showing the plugin in action (recommended to view in 1080p):

A plugin installer for Windows (it also installs wxCrafter 1.5 + the Code::Blocks plugin):
http://codelite.org/downloads/wxCrafter/wxCrafterDownloads.php?windows_plugin_cb

I only built it for Windows (my users requested it for Windows only ;) ) ...

Note that the plugin was compiled against CodeBlocks 13.12 SDK, so I am not sure if it will work with a recent nightly

Hm, interesting plugin and tool.  ;)

MortenMacFly:
Hi Eran,

that's very interesting... I'll try to compile/use this tool.

In case it is well working, would you want us to integrate this permanently into the SVN source tree? This would integrate it into nightly builds and (of course) releases, too. Hence you would need access to continue development...

Another options is (how we do it i.e. with the FortranProject plugin) that you use SVN sow we can integrate this plugin through svn::externals. This way you would have full access to the repo and it would be one of yours...

Just share your thoughts...

ollydbg:
I see wxCrafter is not a free software (nor a open source software). If we put the plugin in our trunk, do we promote such kind of software usage? I personally have concern about this. (I may be wrong...)

Won't work he is using git.
I also have missed the non-OSS-ness part of the wxCrafter.

And I'm generally against adding every single plugin in the plugins/contrib subdir.
We should try to make things easier for plugin writers (stable api/abi, etc) instead.
