This is a simple wizard that generates a simple txt file. You can choose the output folder and the file name.
Create two files in your Java Project: hello.xml (wizard configuration file), hello.vm (Velocity template)
hello.xml wizard file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<EclipseWork>
<wizard>
<title>HelloWorld EclipseWork</title>
<!-- First Page -->
<component-page >
<description>Some description here</description>
<!-- the type can be package or folder -->
<container name="folder" label="Folder Output: " type="folder" />
<textfield name="name" label="Name: " />
<textfield name="message" label="Type some message" />
</component-page>
<!-- Templates -->
<output>
<template component="name" velocity="hello.vm" extension="txt" container="folder" />
</output>
</wizard>
</EclipseWork>
hello.vm Template:
You typed: $message
To run the wizard just right click in the hello.xml file, and select "EclipseWork -> OpenWizard".
As you realized, EclipseWork hides all the complexity of creating Eclipse wizards. Hope you liked it :-)
Note that you can customize it and create yor own templates and wizards.
This project is in continuing development. Any feedback will be appreciated.
