Screencast: Getting Started with Sencha Eclipse Plugin

[loiane]

Hi everyone,

I recorded a screencast this weekend about how to install Sencha Eclipse plugin from Sencha Complete and also how to create a project and see the plugin working.
I tried to speak slowly as I could.

Hope it can help if you have any difficulties in using the plugin.

Hi Selvam09,

What version of Eclipse are you installing into? Currently Sencha Eclipse Plugin works best with Eclipse JEE edition for Indigo. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/indigosr2

Thanks,

Justin

Hi Loiane,

Your screencast has been incredibly helpful and everything was working fine until I tried the code completion step in the Test.js file. I did not get any auto complete and had to manually type in "Ext.define()". When I tried to get completion options for the define method (cursor in the parenthesis, Ctrl+Space) I get the following error message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi Snyder47,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Please make sure that you have the project dependency setup correctly.

Test project should depend on ExtJsTL-4.1.1. You can see my example with TestExt project has a dependency on ExtJSTL-4.1 project.

You can get to this preference by secondary mouse click the project -> Project properties -> VJET -> VJET Build Path -> Projects Tab

Earlyster,

Thanks for the reply.
I do have the ExtJsTL-4.1.1 project added to the buildpath for my Test project. This morning I restarted from scratch and did a complete reinstall of Eclipse Indigo, followed the directions (in the PDF and checked those against Loiane's video) and I still get the same result. For some reason it doesn't recognize "Ext" as valid. If I hover over it in the editor I get "Variable Ext undefined".

I have tried adding the ExtJsTL project as both an archive, as well as an unzipped project, but in both cases I get the same result. Looking at the ExtJsTL project I notice that the src directory is empty and the project seems to feed off of a nested/internal ZIP library that has all the content. Am I missing some extra step to make that internal archive/library accessible to my Test project? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!
