I'm a newbie to this subject, so would most appreciate some help.
I've very recently been playing around with beans for the first time,
as the idea is eventually to put them on a server. So far in order to
test and debug beans, I have to write a short test class which
includes a main() method that calls up the code in the beans and
prints test output. As I have Eclipse installed, there must be a way
of using it to test out beans, which would avoid the time spent
writing code just to call up beans.
However, I am also relatively new to Eclipse, and although I can
use it for testing out applications and applets, I can't find any
easily
available documentation on using it for beans. I have Eclipse 3.2.2
on Ubuntu, and after some considerable hassle configured it to run
with Java 6. In the process of installing Eclipse using the Synaptic
Package Manager I see that a bean shell Java scripting environment
(presumably not used with Eclipse) and a utility for managing Java
beans which perhaps works with eclipse were installed, but I don't
know how to invoke them, particular the latter.
Some enlightenment on these mysteries would be most appreciated,
as there is nobody here that I know of where I am in France who
knows anything about this.
