Hi all,
I'm evaluating E4 at the moment regarding the possibility to base a re-write of some software on it. I've worked through a lot of the tutorials I've found across the net and I've made quite some progress with those, but what I haven'nt been able to uncover was some comprehensive example project that demonstrates how the concepts those tutorials teach are supposed to work together "in the wild".
What I'm looking for is a project that is pretty much pure-E4 (If I do it, I want to do it right from the beginning), that has some actual real-world functionality, i.e. isn't a purely theoretical demonstrator, but that isn't so huge either that I have to spend days just trying to work out what goes where.
Can anyone recommend a good project to look at?
Yes, I've thought about looking at the Eclipe Project, but that is on the one hand much too large and on the other hand hardly a good demonstrator on grounds-up E4 design.
Greetings, Thomas

Hi,
I'm working on a medium sized real world app but this application uses
JavaFX but beside that you can probably learn many things from it about
e4, di, application structuring, services, ... - or you come to the
darkside and ditch SWT in favor of ;-)
I've just started working on it, so things are still a bit in the flux.
The idea is to have a small social coding IDE which integrates (Git,
Bitbucket, Stackoverflow, CI-Server, ...).
You can find my code at https://bitbucket.org/tschindl/bitbucketmgr

I'm, pretty much, in the same position you are. I could not find a comprehensive example that demonstrated all the technologies I would need to ship my product.
Instead I tried to touch upon each of the things I needed, and verify they work or were in a state that could be working by ship time. Our conclusion was to go with the e4 application model. There are a lot of rough spots (the help system being the biggest) but we want a technology we can stick with for the next 4-5 years. The short term problems with e4 will be challenging, but in a few years sticking with 3.x era stuff will inhibit us.
If you have a more static application, or longer horizons, you might wait a bit before starting to convert to e4. If you are planning major extensions to your application in the next year or two, it might be better to bite the bullet now.
Just my $.02
