Category: I got Eclipse and the XUL Booster plugin running on OS X today. Very nice tool. I haven’t really given the XUL Runner integration and the XUL authoring support a thorough testing, but the wizard for setting up an extension, property editor for the install.rdf, and a XPI export wizard make it a joy to use compared to my recent attempts to resurrect expertise aged almost 3 years.
The image shows, reading left to right, top down, the project wizard, XUL tag snippet panel, rdf editor, export dialogue, the file list of an extension generated with the wizard, and the final export pane with zip, etc. options. The only thing missing from the wizard is a GUID Generator.
I’m working on some Mozwho like UI for an all.xml data dump from delicious… called LinkDeli.
Installation is a bit painful if you don’t follow the XUL Booster site recommendations and start with the web tools build of Eclipse.
