New features in Buildap 0.7 Eclipse Edition, which includes full component development support, architecture redesign, improved usability and user friendly interface, help, source code review action, etc.
- Buildap now works in Eclipse environment. Buildap provides 3 explorer views: Navigator (it shows project’s file system), Project Explorer (it shows all open projects with their content) and Device Explorer (it shows active device with its content)
- Full part creation and modification cycle support within Eclipse IDE: CEC workflow (Create new part – Edit the source code of the part - Compile the project). Buildap generates part skeleton, with pin code. User can edit the code, compile and use in the Buildap applications as a part. User can also test and modify part source and add it to the library
- Buildap architecture redesign. Particularly, the SVG component has been separated from the Graph Editor component
- The library view has been changed and it's more user-friendly now
- A new feature - library update has been added. Now you can update the Buildap project libraries from the web
- Buildap Output View (window) has been improved. Now you can see 2 views: messages view (error, warning and notification messages) and events view (inpin, outpin, error events). Users can delete, highlight the desired event, clear all events, see events from current device only, see all events, see events for pins, parts or devices with the mentioned ID and make corresponding changes (delete, hide, disable, highlight events with mentioned ID)
- Help added
- More space for Graph Editor! The actions of Buildap Toolbar have been moved to the Contributor of the Eclipse Environment, thus making the Graph Editor easier for work
- View source action. This feature is added in Buildap plugin of Eclipse. This feature is only for Eclipse. It shows the java source code of selected part by opening the Java Editor of Eclipse
When will this be released?

how to install this plugin, since it has no plugins or features directory
I couldn't find this in the downloads. I'm very interested in trying this out. I have read all of Jack Harich's papers in 2001-2002 and loved the idea of the visual circuit board. Sadly Jack abandoned the software industry. Thanks for picking up where he left off!
