Cannot create application in eXide

Question

I just wanted to create a new application to try out some smaller things, when I realised I cannot create a new application from eXide:

I am running eXist-db 6.2.0 under openSuse Tumbleweed. Has anyone else experienced this before?

Answer 1

The current version of eXide is 3.5.0. As noted in the eXide repository's README:

eXide 3.0.0 removes the app generation feature as it was generating outdated code with potential security risks. We recommend the much better yeoman-based generator-exist for eXist-db.

An archive of past releases of eXide is available via https://github.com/eXist-db/eXide/releases.
