<h3><a name="usage"></a>Using the org.jibx.eclipse Plug-in</h3>
<h4>Create Java Project</h4>
<p>Create a Java project <em>project1</em> using the project wizard.

<h4>Enable JiBX</h4>
<p>Enable the JiBX plugin for <em>project1</em>.
<br><br>
<img src="images/Task_2.png" alt=""></p>
<h4>JiBX Properties</h4>
<p>At the project level are the following JiBX properties:
</p><ol>
<li>JiBX Mapping Folder: Location where mapping files are stored.</li>
<li>Verbose compilation: Usefull for seeing what the binding compiler is up to</li>
</ol>
<br><br>
<img src="images/Task_3.png" alt="">
<p>The location of <em>src/main/config</em> is chosen by default to match the (non-Eclipse based) Maven plugin <b>maven-jibx-plugin</b>, so you would
then want a Mavenish classpath like this:
<br><br>

<h4>Done</h4>
<ul>
<li>The plugin will parse all xml files contained in your mappings folder to identify which java classes require bindings.
</li><li>The JiBX binding process itself is a <b>full</b> binding of <b>all</b> bound classes every time(ie, there is no such thing as <em>incremental</em> JiBX binding).</li>
<li>The plugin is invoked by Eclipse whenever
<ol>
<li>A "full compilation" (Project->Clean) of the workspace is performed</li>
<li>Any bound java file is modified/saved</li>
<li>Any mapping file is modified/saved</li>
<li>A new mapping file is added to the mapping folder</li>
</ol>
</li><li>Any one of the previous events cause the plugin to re-bind all classes in the project</li>
<li>The plugin allocates a new Eclipse console that will display details of the plugin operation</li>
</ul>
