Working with Jed Eclipse Plugin

This section explains you about the Jed eclipse plugin and how to edit a record and data file by using the Jed wizard.

The Jed Eclipse plugin is a table viewer of a record in the database. When you have a TAFJ project enabled, you can use the Jed plugin. Make sure your database settings are correct in the TAFJ project.

Invoking the Jed Wizard

To invoke the Jed Wizard,

1. Right-click the TAFJ project and click Jed Wizard.

   

2. In the Jed wizard, specify a table name and a record that you want to view (for example, FBNK.CURRENCY and USD), and select the Show column names? check box.

   

3. Click Finish.

   This will open a Jed data editor for the requested record.

Edit a Record

The below screen capture shows the Jed editor view.

You can edit a record in the Jed wizard in the following ways:

• Double-click within a cell to edit it.

  

• Right-clicking on a field will give you the options to Insert Field, Insert Field After, Insert Multi-value, Insert Sub-value and Delete row.
• The contextual menu changes based on the field type.

  

• There are two actions available in the toolbar irrespective of the status of the record:
  • Synchronize the editor with the record in the database.
  • Delete the record (you will be prompt for confirmation, after confirmation the record gets deleted permanently).
• Once the record is modified all actions become available in the toolbar. You can:
  • Revert the modification
  • Save the modification

  

Edit a Data File

You can edit a data file in the Jed editor in a similar way as described in the previous section. The only difference is the toolbar, which has a different purpose.

It is possible to synchronize the file content with the database and to upload the file content into the database.
