  • From Actions to Commands

    I moved from Actions to Commands lately for all XML Security Tools operations. Except some removed icons, the XML Security context menu doesn't look much different.

    A green bar for a good feeling! Thanks to the help and support of Dave Carver who finally fixed all failing JUnit tests, the build (actually the tests) is green. Download the latest XML Security Tools release from http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers. Attention: this is still an integration build, so use it at your own risk! Reason for…

    XML Security Tools version 0.5 (the first official version) is available for download at http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers (scroll down to xmlsec-R0.5).
