Overview

The AJAX Toolkit Framework (ATF) is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for AJAX developers and an extensible framework for adding AJAX runtimes in to the IDE.

ATF is an open-source project in incubation phase on Eclipse.

Provides Tools to develop any DHTML/AJAX application Tooling to facilitate use of various AJAX toolkits Tight integration with the existing Eclipse user interface and

development paradigm

Targets AJAX Application Developers and Toolkit Developers

Aims to provide an ever-expanding set of high-function tools for AJAX developers

Ajax Application Creation

Support for three AJAX runtimes today Dojo, Rico, and Zimbra Personality Builder supports adding other AJAX runtimes.

Application Creation Wizard Template to create initial Ajax Application Drag and Drop snippets to Application Source File

Eclipse Projects Static Web Project, Dynamic Web Project, and PHP Projects

Able to add in AJAX to existing project.

Eclipse Foundation, Inc.

JavaScript Editor

Enhanced Editor with Validation Integrated JavaScript editor Batch and as-you-type syntax validation

• Syntax checker based on the Mozilla Rhino engine

• Validator based on JSLintDetects undesirable or ambiguous constructs considered to be bad practice

JSLint errors are consider warnings.

Drag and Drop snippets to Application Source File

Application Deployment

Multiple Server Types HTTP Web Server J2EE Servers

HTTP Web Server Support defining a HTTP Web Server in Eclipse

• Ability to specify publish directory• Defining the HTTP server port• Support for Home Page URLs (~username)

J2EE Servers Multiple J2EE Servers (Tomcat, JBOSS. etc.) Testing done using Tomcat

Publishing Options Automatically publish to server Never publish to server

JavaScript Debugger

Breakpoints Ability to set breakpoints in JavaScript Any file type with JavaScript content (html, js,

php). Breakpoints can be enable/disabled

Debug Views for JavaScript Call Stack Variables Breakpoints Scripts View

Expression SupportDebug Preference options

URL Debugging/Running

Able to launch and debug an AJAX application using a URL. Application doesn’t have to reside in Eclipse. All tooling supports handling files by URL.

Editor Debugger Browser tooling

Breakpoint Management User has to manually delete breakpoints

Browser Tooling

DOM Inspector Shows the DOM tree rendered by the Browser Dynamically updated to reflect changes within the

browser Attributes of a node can be edited, added to, and

removed A breadcrumb trail of hyperlinks is created for

the node's path DOM Source view

Displays the HTML source of the selected DOM node Source can edited, validated, and updated back to

Browser Tooling

Browser Console Shows all browser (i.e JavaScript, CSS) errors, warnings, and logging messages

Double clicking on an error opens to the relevant line of code

XMLHTTPRequest Monitor Observe XMLHTTPRequest request/response information

Formatting of the response body based on content-types

Box Model• Shows the dimensions, x-y coordinates, padding, border, and margin information

Diffs • Shows the changes made to CSS rules and properties

Eclipse Foundation, Inc.

Personality Builder

A set of Wizards which accept: Artifact data (AJAX toolkit libraries) Build requirements data New application templates Code patterns Deployment data

Wizards output a ‘basic’ Personality Plugin The builder will provide necessary basic development features targeted for AJAX toolkits

Enables customization and addition of functionality

Eclipse Foundation, Inc.

Future Enhancements

Robust JavaScript Tooling Real JavaScript Model, Enhanced code completion, Enhanced Outline view , Code formatting, etc

Debugger enhancementsImprove Install

better support for run time dependenciesPersonality Builder improvements Multiple Browser Support (IE, Opera, etc)
