Pololu Wixel - Manual (Page 59)

Hiding Unused Features
By default, Eclipse has a large number of toolbar buttons, views (panes), and menu items that are not needed for
developing Wixel applications. You can greatly simplify the user interface of Eclipse by hiding those items.
To hide unused toolbar and menu commands, select Window > Customize Perspective…. This brings up the
“Customize Perspective C/C++” window. Select the “Command Groups Availability” tab. By unchecking a command
group in this tab, you can automatically remove all the commands in that group from the toolbars and the menus. The
only useful command groups for developing Wixel applications are:
C/C++ Coding, C/C++ Editor Presentation, C/C++ Element Creation, C/C++ Navigation, C/C++ Open Actions,
C/C++ Search, Editor Navigation, Editor Presentation, Keyboard Shortcuts, Open Files, Search
If you want further customization, you can use the “Tool Bar Visibility” and “Menu Visibility” tabs to show or hide
individual commands.
10.d. Sharing Your App with the Wixel Community
Preparing your app for the community
Please make sure that you have set up the following sections in your WXL file:
• description – this should fully describe what your app does or link to a web site with a complete description.
Since other people will be trying this on their Wixels, make sure to bring our attention to anything that may
cause damage or incompatibility. Most importantly, any IO ports used as outputs should be explicitly listed in
the description.
• license – this specifies the terms under which others may distribute copies or modifications of your app. We
recommend and use the MIT license, which is simple and allows widespread use of your code. Note that if you
have used the Wixel SDK to build your app, you need to include our license, though you may add your own
restrictions if necessary. We recommend using the following template, which will make it easy for us to share
your app or to include it in the Wixel SDK:
