it is a useless bugridden peice of crap that doesn’t even help develop tapestry applications since 4.1.

i would like to disable or remove it totally.

i’ve tried changing the file associations but that doesn’t seem to work, the .jwc, .page, .application files still only open with spindle editor.

please help, very annoyed. it’s just crashed eclipse again.

Hi pstanton,
You can go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration , find Spindle there and right click on it and disable or uninstall it.

thanks, i found “My Eclipse Tapestry / Spindle Support 5.1.1” but the only disable and install options are disabled!

[Paul Stanton]

sorry, I’ll rephrase that,

I can’t disable the feature, the options to uninstall and disable are both unavailable, meaning I cannot use them; they are greyed out.

can I just delete the packages in the plugins dir?

[Riyad Kalla]

Ahh better not do that because you never know what plugin dependencies exist. The best way to smite it is to go to Window > Prefs > General > Capabilities, select MyEclipse Standard, hit Advanced and drill down to “Tapestry Framework Support” and uncheck it.

Now it won’t be loaded anymore.

[Paul Stanton]

thanks, that’s better.

still need to add *.jwc, *.page, *.application, *.library to the xml content type though .. maybe that should be by default next version?

[Riyad Kalla]

I believe the Spindle plugin provides those mappings… I’ll double check.

[Riyad Kalla]

Yea, it does. So if you turn it off (as you did) it won’t commit those mappings.

My God. Years later, it’s still included. Now, <i>n</i> key presses, Spindle looks for Tapestry artifacts and the progress window flashes on the screen. Obviously nobody can work using this plugin. Dump Spindle!

[inertia]

Oh, and you can’t turn it off, it turns itself back on.

[Paul Stanton]

is there a way to disable or remove spindle yet? i can’t even view the preference pages without an exception in the latest version of myeclipse.

i can’t believe you guys haven’t dropped the plugin altogether yet. it’s way out of date and useless to everybody – those who don’t use tapestry, and those who do. it has been that way for 5 years now!

is it just a case of removing the jars from the plugins dir?

(myeclipse 7.5)

regards, paul.

never mind, found my answer in another thread:

still, i think it’s ridiculous that this plugin is still shipped when it’s obviously completely useless.

pstanton,
Good to know that you are all set.
