ExtJS 4.x support

[icflorescu]

ExtJS is getting a major release in a couple of weeks.
There will be some changes at the API level, lots of major new functionality, MVC pattern support, a new dynamic component loading mechanism, etc.

It would be extraordinary to see Spket supporting the new version, as currently it's the only IDE/Eclipse plugin featuring a correct/complete code assist and context-sensitive documentation for ExtJS.

The Ext team also said there would still be a .jsb file, but the format has been updated. The preview releases haven't included this file so we haven't been able to test it, but the common consensus is that it probably won't work out of the box.

I've used Spket for a while for Ext 2 and 3 development. I've tried other editors, but really nothing can compare in terms of completeness. I have a license for personal use and I had the company I work for purchase a site license as well. I for one would definitely pay up for a new release that supports 4.

Please continue development on this great product!

Just to bump this up, since ExtJS comes with a dual-licensing model and they do have lots of paying customers, I have a feeling there will be many ExtJS community members willing to purchase Spket support as well...
Plus, let's not forget that ExtJS really is the best javascript framework out there for building desktop-like web applications

Great news, thank you! Will test it ASAP!

This may be of relevance for building an updated ext.jsb2: in ExtJS 4 beta (current version is beta2) the name of pkgs/all.js was changed to pkgs/classes.js.

Hi all !
thanks very much for the .jar update and the .jsb2, try it in eclipse and it begins to work great. But, are you still working in improving completion for extjs 4.0 ? Because when i tried i saw that there are still some missing keywords in completion.
For instance if i code a class that extend "controller", when i type "this." it doesn't show methods like "control".

Hope spket will fuly support ne Extjs 4.0 version !

Which version are you using? if you use Ext 4.0 beta 3. please download following jsb2 file:

thank you very much for this updated .jsb2 file ! But code completion doesn't work anymore.

For exemple in the test method below when i type "this.", code completion doesn't show me Ext.app.Application method list, only those that are declared "locally" :

Code: Select all

Ext.create('Ext.app.Application',{
    appFolder : './Users/app',
    name : 'Users',
    controllers:['Users'],
    /**
     * @description the main launch application method
     */
    launch : function(){
        Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {
            layout: 'fit',
            items: [
            {
                xtype: 'panel',
                title: 'Users',
                html : 'List of users will go here'
            }
            ]
        });
    },
    test : function(){
 	this.
    }
});

I think it should show me methods like "onBeforeLaunch", "control" and so on that are declared in Ext.app.Application.

Maybe in a later update ?

Thanks !

if it can help, i think spket is not aware of new ExtJS 4.x keyword and class system. For example, it can't show class members when in Ext.create or when in Ext.define (see my previous post).
Do those features will be added in next spket versions ?

Thanks !
