This Eclipse plugin is a simple personal or project Wiki. A Wiki is many things, but in the context of Eclipse, it is a powerful project documentation tool linking documentation to eclipse resources, web sites, bug tracking tools and other Wikis.
Features
- Link to local Wiki documents
- Link to resources in the Eclipse workspace
- Link to Java source code in the current project path simply by typing the fully qualified name of a class (classes in the default package are not supported).
- Link to urls automatically
- Exclude words from being links
- Define common prefixes to any website, Wiki, Eclipse resource, and more using a local WikiSpace
- Export your wiki including all the linked Eclipse resources. (Java source is converted to HTML using the excellent Java2Html)
-
The multipage editor has a browser view to make reading easier and a syntax view to help editing.
There are three renderers to choose from depending on your chosen wiki markup:
TWiki, SnipSnap and Ward's Wiki.
A cool feature is that any image linked to in the Wiki Document is inlined in the browser view. So you can create a local folder of images and link to them in your Wiki pages.
- Headers and Footers in the browser view and exported documents
- Embed other wiki documents, eclipse resources and Java code in Wiki documents.
- Syntax colouring for links
- Completion for eclipse resources, local wiki documents, WikiSpace links and Java types in the same project
- Hover text and previews on links
- An Outline of document headings
The plugin has been tested under Mac OS X, Linux and Windows 98/NT/2000/XP.
