I've been using Eclipse to build Java Ice modules for a while now, using the configuration that I summarised in
this post. So I was curious about what the slice2java plugin could do for me.
Initially, there's one big thing that's missing: the plugin only lets you choose a folder inside the current project as the location of the slice files. In my configuration, all of the Slice files for the whole system are in a separate, central Subversion module, which means in practice that the slice files are in a difference Eclipse project than the Java source of the server itself.
Would it be possible to let the user specify *any* folder as the source of the slice files, whether it's under the current project or not? This would let me test the plugin further.
One other wishlist item -- it would be GREAT if the plugin also included a syntax-highlighting, tab-completing editor for slice files ...
