The Tapestry Palette plugin for Eclipse provides for browsing and inspection of Tapestry components in a Tapestry web-application project. The plugin now has more robust project handling, visual feedback during drag and drop and a Property Sheet for inspecting component parameters.

In working with Tapestry I find myself getting confused by the number of components and their parameters, even when using the excellent Spindle plugin. I haven't written an Eclipse plugin yet so I put together a plugin, building on the Spindle classes to browse the components available in my project.

I can use RenderBlock and Block to change the component displayed at a location in my pages based on some logic. DynamicBlock lets me do this without having to declare the Block components. I can add new components and not have to define a Block before DynamicBlock can display the component.

Groovestry gets a bug-fix and the sample application is online.

After working on application component auto-discovery (see earlier blog postings) I wanted to get Tapestry to auto-discover Tapestry component libraries.
