New OpenCms Eclipse Plugin release

Today, April 1, 2012, Red Star Development published a new release of the OpenCms module developer plugin for Eclipse (version 0.0.8). This release adds support for OpenCms 8.0.2, based on a patch submitted by Yangguang. Thanks!

Version 0.0.8 of the plugin also contains a new feature submitted by Dirk Lembke (about two years ago...) Anyway, his contribution allows you to set the location of the OpenCms source code in the Eclipse preferences and the source code will be added to new OpenCms module projects. The source code will be available when you debug your module and want to step into OpenCms core code or when you want to open an OpenCms class declaration in Eclipse. Thanks Dirk!

If you are working with the latest OpenCms releases (8.0.2 or newer), you are advised to upgrade your plugin to this new version. You can read more general information about this plugin here.
