I got message form Opencms mail-list,there is a Eclipse plugin for opencms develope. it can map the vfs of opencms in Eclipse. ordinarilly, if you want creat files (such as jsp xml) and edit them, you must go to opencms workplace,using editers of opencms,but the editers are not more efficient, someone hope that: if we can develope in a professional develope IDE,that maybe woundful,"Eclipse plugin for OpnenCms VFS" can help to actualize your hope!

Developing modules within OpenCms leads to numerous errors and slower development as it lacks a good integrated development environment, or IDE for short. To edit schemas (xsd files), templates (jsp files) and everything else that can be packed into a module, the [http://www.eclipse.org/ Eclipse Development IDE] is predestined. Developing modules has been distinguished from content editing, which is the reason for using a CMS.

OpenCms VFS is an Eclipse plugin used to access the OpenCms (http://www.opencms.org) virtual file system (VFS) from Eclipse. It is intended as a tool for OpenCms development, not content editing.

For editing modules within the Eclipse IDE three free plugins are currently available: the [http://www.redstardevelopment.nl/opencms/opencms/en/opencms/plugin/ OpenCms Module Developer] (Eclipse Public License v1.0) from Red Star Development, [http://www.johnen.biz/efs-cmis/ efs-cmis] from Marc Johnen and OpenCms VFS (LGPL) from Laughing Panda. While the development of OpenCms VFS is discontinued, the other modules are still under development.

Developing modules within OpenCms leads to numerous errors and slower development as it lacks a good integrated development environment, or IDE for short. To edit schemas (xsd files), templates (jsp files) and everything else that can be packed into a module, the Eclipse Development IDE is predestined. Developing modules has been distinguished from content editing, which is the reason for using a CMS.

For editing modules within the Eclipse IDE three free plugins are currently available: the OpenCms Module Developer (Eclipse Public License v1.0) from Red Star Development, efs-cmis from Marc Johnen and OpenCms VFS (LGPL) from Laughing Panda. While the development of OpenCms VFS is discontinued, the other modules are still under development.

Contents
