PixelBender Outline View

PixelBender OutlinePixelBender Outline is a simple view for Eclipse. It allows you to browse through compiled PixelBender kernel files (pbj). Usually it is quite annoying when working with PixelBender. You always have to debug the shader if you did not write it yourself to know about parameters and stuff. The PixelBender Outline view allows you to navigate through that information in a comfortable way.

PixelBender Outline is working with FDT only. Just grab the JAR file and place it into your Eclipse plugins folder (…/Eclipse/plugins/) to install it. After restarting Eclipse you can open the view using Window->Show View->Other->PixelBender->PixelBender Outline.

The outline is updated everytime you select a *.pbj file in the Flash Explorer.

    Very useful!
    Any plan to release the source code ?
    It would be nice to build a eclipse plugin without FDT dependencies out of it.

    I get this error when I try to load the panel : java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file

    Any idea? Here’s my config :

    Mac OS X 10.5.5
    Java 1.5.0_16
    Eclipse 3.3.2
    FDT 3.1.0.1011

    What about the PBJ bytecode ? :)

    Olivier: I think I compiled it using Java 1.4 but maaaaybe I was using Java 1.6 — I will be able to check that next week Wednesday.

    Nicolas: I have the Bytecode output working. But what is the point :) If I do that then I should write a whole editor and that is out of scope.
