Hi All,

We are opening this thread for you to provide your feedback on the Public Beta version of 'Nokia WRT Plug-in for Aptana Studio'. All you feedback will be considered carefully by our team, this this a good chance to tell us what you think about the tool and any wishlist you have...

There are issues we are aware of with the plug-in beta.

• Mac preview: If you are a Mac user and you install Eclipse + Aptana Studio plug-in + WRT plug-in (as opposed to Aptana Studio Standalone + WRT plug-in) you may have trouble with the S60 preview feature. We are investigating this issue. This does not seem to be an issue for Windows users.
  UPDATE: the problem seems to be with Eclipse >= ver 3.4; Eclipse 3.2.2 SDK+Aptana update+WRT v1.0.0.28 works fine.
• Firewall/proxy: If your internet connection requires a proxy you must set it directly within Aptana Studio. If you do not, this could affect your ability to install plug-ins or preview widget content. There are two places to set proxies in Eclipse:
  1. Window -> Preferences -> Internet Proxy Settings
  2. Window -> Preferences -> Install/Update
  be sure and set both appropriately for your proxy configurations. (see your system administrator or network guru if you don't know your proxy configurations)
• Uninstall: If you have to manually uninstall the WRT plug-in do the following:
  1. Quit Aptana
  2. In the Aptana installation directory open the features directory. Delete all items beginning with com.nokia and org.eclipse.emf
  3. Do the same thing in the plugins directory
  4. On Mac OS delete the directory ~home/Library/Application Support/Aptana/
• API Docs: The plug-in beta includes the current Web Developer's Library 1.3 which includes the 1.1 WRT APIs however, the beta only supports the 1.0 WRT APIs. Note this doesn't stop you from writing 1.1 compatible widgets for but features like code completion won't support the 1.1 APIs at this time.

Thank you all. We are looking forward to your reactions to a powerful new tool for developing for Web Runtime.

Forgive me--My spanish is terrible...I understand you were able to install but you are you having trouble configuring the Plug-in? Can you be more specific?

First problems I found:

- The CSS editor still shows a black rectangle for me before I click the Firefox Preview tab (Aptana bug?)
- The WRT Widget (S60) view loses the soft key buttons if I change the display from portrait to landscape

Also it wasn't nice that I had to completely uninstall and reinstall Aptana to get the new WRT version to install. And it isn't nice that soon there might be several Eclipse installations on my HD just because Carbide.c++ requires one, WRT requires one etc :P

Can you clarify this? perhaps provide a screenshot? The WRT preview function labled, "WRT Widget (S60)" only works on the HTML files. You can't preview within CSS.

Good feedback. Thanks.

It is possible to download Aptana as an Eclipse plug-in and then you can install the WRT plug-in for Atana. See the Aptana download page.

I don't quite remember now, but I think earlier the widget would pop a dialog to connect to an access point (Winsock) when it needed to access external data. This release doesn't seem to have it. I think it is great to have a real life emulation while accessing data.

I'm testing on real life projects and will keep writing regular feedback, but just wanted to say....this plugin is awesome in every way....it has made development and testing of widgets so much easier.

Cheers,
Mariam

I don't recall the plug-in doing that itself. Perhaps you were deploying the widget to an Emulator? One of the areas we are looking at is augmenting simulation in many ways including support for 1.1 widget APIs. I can't provide any dates at this time, but it definitely on the todo list. If you have specific things you'd like to see in terms of simulation for development, feel free to post a wishlist.

Music to our ears, Miriam! Please tell your friends and colleagues to try it out too! (Nice blog, by the way!)

Cheers!

Hello,

I wanted to let widget developers know that the kind people over at Aptana have posted a great video overview of the Nokia WRT plug-in for Aptana Studio. You will also find a link to it from their blog.

Keep the feedkback coming our way!

First off, great plug-in to Aptana!

I am running into one small issue in regards to the preview for the 5800 MusicXpress.
The preview is too long to fit into my window even when maximized (my screen just isn't that high -- it's a recent Sony laptop). Any chance the preview could be made to scroll, or perhaps not begin as far down the page?

[mbierman]

Thanks, bryanrieger!

We're looking at several improvements to preview and this is among them. Keep the suggestions coming and thanks for your interest!

So far so good on Aptana, big step in the right direction.

thanks

[mbierman]

Thanks very much, Rob. I enjoyed reading your blog. Just wondering--did you mean you were able to install the WRT plug-in right into Eclipse without installing the Aptana Plug-in at all? We weren't aware that would work.

I tried posting to your blog, but perhaps the spam filter ate my post?
