<h3><a name="jibxeclipse-features">Introduction</a></h3>
<p>
JibxEclipse is a plugin for the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org">Eclipse IDE</a> that provides support for Java projects
that use the Jibx Java<->XML binding framework.
</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
A project nature which creates an association between your Eclipse project and Jibx. Adding the JiBX Nature
to your project will enable:
<ul>
<li>
JiBX configuration options for your project that determine which binding definition files to use.
</li>
<li>
Settings for the Jibx binding compiler (verbose output and load modified/generated class files).
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Eclipse builder which will invoke the Jibx binding compiler during <b>clean builds only</b>. Support for
incremental builds will be added in a future release.
</li>
<li>
Menu item with action to toggle Jibx project nature on an Eclipse project.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Java Runtime v1.4.x</li>
<li>Eclipse Platform (3.0/3.0.x)</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h4>Known Limitations</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
The binding compiler will only be invoked during a clean project build. Anytime a binding
definition file (or class specified in a binding definition file) is changed you <b>must</b>
run a clean build. Support for incremental builds will be added in a future release.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
</div>
<div class="h3">

<h3><a name="jibxeclipse-intro">Usage</a></h3>
<p>
Using JibxEclipse involves associating the JiBX Nature with your project,
configuring the binding compiler for your project, and invoking the binding compiler.
</p>
<h4>Associating the JiBX Nature with your project</h4>
<p>
The first thing you must do to enable Jibx support for your project is add the JiBX Nature to your project.
The easiest way to accomplish this it to right-click on the project in either the <i>Navigator</i> or
<i>Package Explorer</i> view and select <b>Add JiBX Nature.</b> <a href="img/addNature.jpg">(ScreenShot)</a>
</p>
<h4>Configuring the Binding Compiler</h4>
<p>
Once you've associated the JiBX Nature with your project you'll need to configure the binding compiler. To configure
the binding compiler for your project right-click on your project in the <i>Navigator</i> or <i>Package Explorer</i>
view and select <i>Properties</i>. In the <i>Properties</i> dialog select <i>JiBX Preferences</i>. Add the
binding definition files for your project by selecting <i>New</i> and browsing your project tree for your binding
definition file(s).<a href="img/jibxPreferences.jpg">(ScreenShot)</a>
</p>
<h4>Invoking the Binding Compiler</h4>
<p>
The Jibx binding compiler will be invoked each time you perform a clean build in Eclipse (future versions will include
support for incremental compilation). <a href="img/cleanBuild.jpg">(ScreenShot)</a>
