[TIP] CSS Editor

A quick tip for (some) easy editing CSS style sheets.
Servoy uses a plain text editor with no relation to the outline view (like with javascript code).
There is however a plugin available that does show the styles in the outline view and does some syntax coloring and checking.
You find it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/csseditor/

Hope this helps.

Thanks Robert,

I’m new to Eclipse plugins, how do you install this?

This one you just place in the Eclipse plugins folder (the one in the Developer directory, not Server). The zip is fairly straight forward, just unzip it and you get a folder with the name ‘plugins’. Inside this folder there is another folder (‘net.sourceforge.csseditor_0.0.5’) that you drop into the Eclipse plugins folder.

We could also integrate a css editor in Developer, but, as far as I know, there wasn’t much demand for it.

Please file a feature req. for an CSS editor, so it can be planned.

There are different ways to do that I guess.

You could start by doing some reading.
Here for example: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/default.asp

Note: not all CSS will work with Servoy due to Java limitations.
