IBM Software Group © Copyright 2007 IBM Corp. ; made available under the EPL v1.0 3 Overview  The AJAX Toolkit Framework (ATF) is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for AJAX developers and an extensible framework for adding AJAX runtimes in to the IDE. It is an open-source project in incubation phase on Eclipse.  Provides Tools to develop any DHTML/AJAX application Tooling to facilitate use of various AJAX toolkits Tight integration with the existing Eclipse user interface and development paradigm  Targets AJAX Application Developers and Toolkit Developers  Aims to provide an ever-expanding set of high-function tools for AJAX developers  Multi-platform support  Windows, Linux x86, Mac OS X

Builds available for Win32 (XP), Linux (32 bit), and Mac OS Contains only the Eclipse/ATF functionality needed by the Web Developer Web Development and Web Tools Perspectives Views and Menus only needed by Web Developers.  No Java Development Tools and Java Enterprise Editions (JSPs, JSF, etc.) Simple Unzip/Tar install.  ATF unzip packages Two packages available WST only WST and JST (J2EE support). Unzip on top of an existing eclipse install. Usual way Eclipse projects are released.  ATF Archive Site Zip. Uses Eclipse Update Manager to install ATF. Checks and download dependences.

Ajax Runtimes are optional  ATF tooling available for JavaScript/DHTML development  Ajax Toolkit Project Wizards to create a Ajax Project and configure an Ajax Runtime Web Tools Static and Dynamic Web Projects are also supported

IBM Software Group © Copyright 2007 IBM Corp. ; made available under the EPL v1.0 8 JavaScript Development Tools  JavaScript Development Tools A new WST component to provide Robust JavaScript Tooling  Real JavaScript Model  Enhanced code completion  Enhanced Outline view  Code formatting  Code refactoring  “Language level” searching  Etc. Provide JDT level of functionality for JavaScript. Usable as a stand alone editor and integrated into WTP See Phil Berkland’s Presentation How to Develop AJAX Applications with Eclipse JavaScript Wednesday 1:00pm – 1:45pm

IBM Software Group © Copyright 2007 IBM Corp. ; made available under the EPL v JavaScript Debugger  Breakpoints Ability to set breakpoints in JavaScript Any file type with JavaScript content (html, js). Breakpoints can be enable/disabled  Debug Views for JavaScript Call Stack Variables Breakpoints Scripts View  Expression Support  Debug Preference options

IBM Software Group © Copyright 2007 IBM Corp. ; made available under the EPL v URL Debugging/Running  HTTP or File URL support Able to launch and debug an AJAX application using a URL. Application doesn’t have to reside in Eclipse. All tooling supports handling files by URL. Editor Debugger Browser tooling Breakpoint Management User has to manually delete breakpoints
