- New Message Flow wizard redesigned
- The New Message Flow wizard has been redesigned to allow you to
either select an existing message flow project for a new message flow,
or to create a new message flow project for the new message flow.
See Creating a message flow for more information.
- Broker Development view (formerly the Resource
Navigator view)
- The Resource Navigator view in the Broker Application Development perspective has been renamed and is now
called the Broker Development view. The ways in which resources can
be displayed in the Broker Development view have also changed. For
example, you can choose whether to display or hide namespaces, categories,
or categorized file extensions. When you create resources, they are
grouped together by file type in logical categories, and placed in
virtual folders. You can choose whether to display the resources in
the logical categories, or to hide them. You can also filter closed
projects in the View menu. See Resources and Broker Application Development perspective for more information.
- Displaying projects in working sets
- A working set is a logical collection of application projects,
which you can use to limit the number of resources that are displayed
in the Broker Development view. For more information, see Resources and Displaying selected projects in working sets.
- Global toolbar in the Broker Application Development
perspective
- The icons that are displayed by default in the toolbar of the
Broker Application Development perspective have changed. See Broker Application Development perspective for more information.
- New categories for nodes on the node palette
- The nodes on the node palette have been organized into categories,
as shown in Message flow node palette. You can add the nodes
that you use most often into the Favorites category, either by dragging
them, or using the menu, as described in Adding nodes to the Favorites category on the palette.
- Editing node properties
- You can rename a node in the Message Flow editor when you add
it to the canvas, or you can rename it on the Description tab of the
Properties view.
- When you double-click a node in the Message Flow editor, you open the Properties
view for that node.
- You can choose to view and edit a node's properties either in
the tabbed Properties view beneath the Message Flow editor, or in
the Properties dialog box.
For more details, see Configuring a message flow node.
- Refreshing the contents of a broker archive
- You can now refresh the contents of a broker archive in the Broker
Archive editor; see Refreshing the contents of a broker archive and Broker Archive editor. This single task combines the actions
of removing, updating, and replacing resources that were previously
required. You can also now view, and clear, the user and service logs
from the Broker Archive editor.
