Script documentation

[Nick]

Hello, I am currently working on some scripts with the jArchi plugin and I wonder if there is a way to show some documentation about specific scripts directly in Archi before running the scripts ?
If not, maybe this could be a decent addition to clarify the purposes of the scripts before running these, through the Hints section or when the cursor hovers the name of the script instead of having the path to the script.

Interesting idea but might have a cost if each script had to be loaded to get the documentation text. Unless there was some lightweight metadata stored somewhere.

We have created an Eclipse dialogue as a single entry into the centrally available script library.



This script, and all the referenced scripts in the library, can be placed on a server somewhere, and only a single "load" statement needs to be distributed along with the Archi software.

This gist is the main script library engine.

Hi,

That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you !
