In a previous blog post about the Mule IDE, I described its configuration wizard, which makes it very easy to create a Mule configuration file by selecting the modules and transports you want to include.

This allows you to browse and step into the source code while you’re developing Mule applications. The Mule IDE looks for files with the naming convention mule-*-src.zip in $MULE_HOME/src and automatically attaches them to the Mule JARs. [...]

Drag and Drop Data Mapping for Mule
