Last Tuesday night’s demonstration of the MuleSoft’s Eclipse Tool Suite at the Vancouver Eclipse Demo Camp went well. I almost got Nerf-gunned for a (slight) overtime but the organizers’ mercifulness has allowed me reach the end of the demo with a running sample For those who weren’t there, here is a summary of my presentation.
The challenge I’ve set to myself for this demonstration was the following: let’s figure out what’s the total length of roadworks currently happening in the city of Vancouver. Think of it as a reality check for your tax dollars at work!
For those of you who develop in Eclipse, and are also running Tomcat as a stand-alone JVM process (the way Tomcat is usually run), it is fairly easy to debug your web applications using the Eclipse debugger. For that matter, you could also debug Tomcat’s code this way as well, if you want to inspect what Tomcat is doing with a request. (more…)
Mule Data Integrator provides an easy to use graphical environment to create and test you maps for doing data transformation in Mule. Once you have your map created and are generating the expected output, you will want to test it from within Mule. Since both MDI and Mule IDE are Eclipse-based tools you would think you could do this without leaving Eclipse. Guess what? You are right. (more…)
Today, MuleSoft released a brand new product, Mule Data Integrator, which is available for download here. Mule Data Integrator (MDI) is free for developers to use and includes an Eclipse-based designer that is fully integrated with Mule IDE.
We have just released version 2.0.1 of Mule IDE. This release provides an important bug fix (the new configuration wizard no longer overwrites existing files without prior notice). It also provides support for the new Mule Data Integrator, which is about to be released. (more…)
This screen cast takes you through all the steps necessary to download and set up iBeans, Tomcat and Eclipse. Then there is a walk-through of how to create a simple echo example (using AJAX) and test/debug the application on Tomcat. Yes, this is 11 minutes but it does walk through all the steps and provides a lot of additional detail. Grab yourself a beverage and take the the tour!
When I recently switched to Eclipse Galileo, I noticed that a Mule configuration file that had previously validated correctly now had validation errors. Since I did not change the file, something in Galileo’s validation of XML files must have changed.
For those who weren’t there, here is a summary of my presentation.
