An update on Valkyrie

[LievenDoclo]

It's been a while since Valkyrie saw the light. A small update:
- the entire RCP codebase has been ported
- complete Spring 3 integration,
- simplifications on the configuration level (a skeleton application now takes only 3 classes, each maybe 10 lines and a 5 line XML file), building on convention over configuration principles
- an working archetype has been made
- integrations for JideOSS, MyDoggy and VLDocking have been implemented
- there are already 3 working samples in the codebase, more will follow
- a manual is underway

Basically, when the manual is done, Valkyrie 1.0 will probably see the light of day.

Awesome stuff, Lieven!

I look forward to seeing the documentation, and trying it out!

looking forward to valkyrie 1.0. Thanks!

An update:

About 75 percent of the documentation has been written and some extra features have been added, one of which I'm quite proud of: the rewritten version of the exception handler for Hibernate Validator so it can now handle any JSR303 validator.

After clone the last version (15-03-2011) I get the following error. Look like again problem with AspectJ.

Try adding in valkyrie-base.xml these lines and recompile core.

    <context:spring-configured/>
    <context:annotation-config/>

[enavarrocu]

Thanks very much, that work perfect.

[LievenDoclo]

My bad, removed them prematurely. Will commit changes shortly.

LievenDoclo:

Working with the MyDoggy integration the only way I found to add toolwindow is a little ugly. I'm missing something?
Maybe is a good idea let the user access to the MyDoggyToolWindowManager with a get or something like that. What do you think?

Example
MyDoggyToolWindowManager myDoggyToolWindowManager = (MyDoggyToolWindowManager) getContext().getPage().getControl().getComponent(0 );
ToolWindow toolWindow = myDoggyToolWindowManager.registerToolWindow("Debug ", "Debugging", null, new JLabel("Debugging Content"), ToolWindowAnchor.LEFT);
