Within Selenium IDE for Firefox, under Options -> C# / NUnit / Webdriver, there is a button 'Source' to view the conversion formatter.
It is displayed in read-only format.
Is it possible to get access to this file in order to customise the export process?
Sorry if this seems like a trivial question, I've found plenty of people complaining about not being able to perform various tasks online and a few responses that indicate that custom export is supported, but I can't seem to find a way to access the file to perform the work.
Thanks
I think I found a solution to this problem.
Though you can't customize any of the built in exports, like C# / NUnit / Webdriver, you can create a completely new exporter. I'd recommend modifying an excising one.
Get the source exporter you would like to modify. Ex Options->Options->Formats->C#/NUnit/Webdriver->Source. And copy it to a text editor.
Edit this code.
Options->Options->Formats->Add(button) and paste your new exporter.
I think you have to copy and paste the text, there is not file upload.
This worked for Selenium IDE 2.5.0
Hope this helps!
EDIT: In addition to my answer above, it may be easier to just write your own parser for the Source of your IDE Test.
The source is read-only because it has been provided by a Selenium IDE Plugin.
The source is usually helpful if you want to make a very simple formatter. Usually a better way is to create your own customised version of the formatter and package it in a plugin. Take a look at the source itself and the plugin tutorial at http://docs.seleniumhq.org/projects/ide/plugins.jsp
You can find some more information and slides about Selenium IDE plugins on my blog.

I want to import for CakePHP instead of PHP but I haven't find in the file in format XML.
I appreciate you in advanced.
It should be a xml file like this:
Please refer to this: https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/contributing/cakephp-coding-conventions.html
CakePHP encourages you to code using PSR-2, and it should be already included in Eclipse. Additionally, CakePHP ships with .editorconfig file, which, depending on your IDE setup, can be included and can help you.
Go to editorconfig_plugin_Eclipse to look for the Eclipse plugin.
Go to editorconfig_demo for a brief demo slideshow which you could find informative.
Go to editorconfig_example for an example CakePHP editorconfig file on GitHub.
Go to editorconfig_tutorial for a video tutorial (in 3 parts) on the editorconfig file which you could also find helpful.
That all being said, I think the Eclipse community is still waiting for a CakePHP formatting file that meets your needs, one that can just be dropped into the Eclipse environment.
In order to modify an eclipse plugin, what are the steps to find its editable code ?
I read and debug source provided with eclipse distribution but to try a fix in org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.codemanipulation behavior I need to make it editable.
Well, the source repository is available at eclipse.org, the plugin compiled with the source should be available from the standard eclipse update site.
I'm guessing you are considering changing the source, recompiling and using your plugin instead of the standard one? There is a different way to change functionality, its with fragments. For example, look at a question I asked earlier, follow the links in my text and Andrews answer for more information.
Groovy seems to fix a lot of the things I dislike about Java, and I was wondering if it would be possible to actually write an Eclipse plugin in Groovy instead of Java.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how to go about it?
I've just found a blog entry which says it's not officially supported but is actually possible.
Not yet tested to see if it works, but it seems promising:
Writing Eclipse plugins with Groovy, by Jörn Dinkla
#Peter, I do not think that the blog post you linked to is complete or if it will really work. It is pointing to the old version of Groovy-Eclipse, which is no longer supported and is out of date.
Yes. It is possible to create your own plugins in Groovy.
First, install the Groovy-Eclipse plugin from here:
http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/greclipse/snapshot/e3.7/
Then you can create a new plugin project and add the Groovy Nature.
Remove the Groovy Libraries classpath container
Instead, add the org.codehause.groovy as a required bundle
Create your Groovy code as normal
Now, the tricky part is exporting the plugin using PDE. See this blog post for how to do that: http://contraptionsforprogramming.blogspot.com/2010/08/groovy-pde-redux.html
One important thing to note is that you will need at least one Java file in your project for PDE to compile anything, It can be a dummy, empty file (this is a bug that has not yet been fixed).
Rejoice!
As an example, here is the codenarc Eclipse plugin that was written completely in Groovy:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/codenarceclipse/
You can also use JRuby, or Javascript ...
JAM Circle is a great example showing how to make great use of a scripting language in an Eclipse plugin, by allowing the end user to write his own actions and load them at runtime.
There's a proxy-like plugin that allows you to implement the plugin virtually in any language that supports JSR223 (javax.scripting)
I've been using netbeans for a couple of years now, mainly on PHP / CakePHP projects.
Recently I've started using Coldfusion, which isn't directly supported. I've found, however, that if I use PHP as a project type, I can load the files and the HTML Renderer does an admirable job with the Coldfusion tags.
I want to make it better and help the renderer to understand some of the tags and, hopefully, thereby improve code indentation and syntax highlighting.
My question, then, is how can I access the HTML dictionary to extend the vocabulary?
NB: This isn't a 'which IDE' question so don't recommend them. I want to know if and how I can achieve this in NetBeans and only Netbeans.
Here are a few ideas. If you render it in HTML, you could probably add a custom name space to the HTML. If setup correctly it can help NetBeans realize that the tags are valid and shouldn't show as an error. It might not give you all the preview and WYSIWYG functionality, but it may be better than what you are getting now. I have only done this on other platforms, but I'm pretty sure NetBeans supports it.
Also I think that NetBeans will let you add CustomTags doing something like this:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/CustomTagActions
Just to note, in terms of ColdFusion the other alternatives are NotePad++ with the CF plugin and IntelliJ now supports CF.
I really like Eclipse - the number of plugins available (SVN, Javascript, CSS, CodCollab, Flashbuilder etc.) is what makes it indispensable IMHO.
I am, however, looking forward to the new version of CFBuilder.
This answer on the same/similar question suggests that there is nothing out there for ColdFusion on netbeans : NetBeans as an editor for ColdFusion scripts?
If you want to build your own ColdFusion plugin for netbeans you need to look at plugin development; http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/60/nbm-google.html You could use the Dictionary project from cfeclipse as a basis for your plugin. See this Google Group thread for a bit more information
Few weeks ago I tried Intellij and I found it really awesome. Now, at my project there are two programmers (including me) using Intellij and few other programmers who are going to keep using Eclipse. Since this project is already very large and it's going to grow a lot, we need to use compatible Code Style and Code Formatting between Intellij and Eclipse. We do not want to have problems when one user edits some file and reformats it before saving. With Eclipse "alone" we used to have some exported configuration, and before anybody starts to work, the first step is just to import this configuration. We already tried to use External Code Formatter, but it didn't work on Intellij 9.
So, I have a bunch of questions here:
Is there any way to import eclipse formatting configuration on Intellij 9?
Anybody could share their experience managing this kind of situation? Do you guys have any other suggestion to manage this situation?
There is an updated plugin for IDEA, called Eclipse Code Formatter:
http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?idea&id=6546
I would recommend someone spends the time to configure their IntelliJ's code style to be the same as Eclipse. This will take a little time and effort but once it is done, you can export it just like in eclipse so that any other IDEA users can import it.
You could also search online to see if anyone has already done this and you can simply download the code style config and use it.
The only alternative I can think of would be to find a standardized code style template that is available for both eclipse and IntelliJ, like the Recommended Sun Java Code Style.
There seems to be a plugin for that (emerged from this discussion).
