EclipseFE Project

Motivation

As a programmer, I find myself spending a lot of time in Eclipse. However, as part of my job as a GameMaster for GemStone IV, I also like to be logged into the game when possible. Thus, the EclipseFE was born to allow me to interact with the game without needing to switch windows often.

Once I had the basic FE working, I figured I might as well add the additional features available in the Wizard and StormFront FEs so that it might be useable by the players as well.

Current Version

Features

• Support for any window content which is sent through the StormFront XML stream, including active spells, familiar window, thoughts window, and so forth.
• Support for injuries and progress bar-based status information
• Macro system, including global and character-specific macros
• Highlight system, including global and character-specific highlights
• StormFront-compatible scripting system, with the exception of highlight-modifying commands
• Plugin system, allowing development of Eclipse plugins to add new features (as an example of the power of this system, the scripting engine is implemented as a plugin)
• Extremely configurable interface layout

Future Work

• Add prepped spell and hands windows
• Add directions pallete
• Add status icon pallete
• When SWT version 3.2 is released, add support for switching between proportional and fixed-width fonts. The 3.1 version of the StyledText widget only includes support for one font.
• Add support for highlight-modifying script commands
• Add macro sets
• Make the windows and panes a bit more attractive
• Spruce up the injuries display
• Improve the layout system
