e(fx)clipse in based product [message #1692049]

Hi guys,

I am trying to use e(fx)clips in a based product configuration using my own target platform and I am having some issues trying to include some bundle

I included "http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/runtime-shared-released/1.2.0/site/" in order to have

org.eclipse.fx.javafx
org.eclipse.fx.osgi

But after setting my target platform the bundle "org.eclipse.fx.osgi" is not available only the "org.eclipse.fx.osgi.sources" is there.

As far my understanding goes if I included the repository in my target platform I will not need to include the jfxrt.jar for java 7 , is this right? because I wanted to avoid issues in order to do my product running on java 7 and 8.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Luis

So what feature did you select? fx.osgi is there! Did you looked into
the Content-Tab when you setup the target? And finally
org.eclipse.fx.osgi is a fragment to system.bundle! You can not set that
as a dependency on bundles.

Packaging JavaFX with your application is NEVER an option see

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your answer , I think that I should be missing some step because I cannot compile my code.

1- I used my own target platform some I added the following location

<location includeAllPlatforms="false" includeConfigurePhase="false" includeMode="slicer" includeSource="true" type="InstallableUnit">
<unit id="org.eclipse.fx.runtime.min.feature.feature.group" version="1.2.0.201501301028"/>
<repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/runtime-shared-released/1.2.0/site/"/>
</location>

it means that I choose "e(fx)eclipse - Minimal JavaFX OSGi integration bundles"

2 - Then I went to my plugin project and I added "org.eclipse.fx.javafx" as dependency

3- I checked the bundle "org.eclipse.fx.osgi" from the Target Platform State View in eclipse

4- I include the following in my eclipse.ini "reference\:file\:org.eclipse.fx.osgi_1.2.0.201501301028.jar" for the entry "osgi.framework.extensions" and restarted my eclipse

After doing these steps I am not able to compile my code which is looking for the FXCanvas.

Do you know which could be my mistake or issue?

Thanks in advance.

P.S: I think that the adaptor is the component which is doing the magic of locating the runtime for javafx so is really important to define it for my OSGi environment, do you know if I can use this in my deploy with tycho?

Can not compile in the IDE or through maven?

If you build your project with tycho or better assemble the final
product with p2 it will create the entry for you. If you control your
own eclipse.ini I think this setting is ok.

Once where does it not compile:
* IDE
* maven

If the problem is compilation with maven then this is expected because
jfxswt.jar is not on the classpath and you need to reconfigure tycho to
do so. See
http://git.eclipse.org/c/efxclipse/org.eclipse.efxclipse.git/tree/releng/org.eclipse.fx.ide.releng/pom.xml

Hi Tom

Thanks for your prompt response.

I cannot compile my code from the IDE, it cannot find the FXCanvas. I tried to restart the eclipse, set my target platform again, clean and build all project and it didn't work Sad

Regarding tycho you said that I need to include jfxswt.jar so does it mean that I will need java 8 to compile my code? Can't I build my product with tycho and java 7 using the jfxrt.jar?.

P.S: I included the adaptor in the eclipse.ini that I am using for develop

Thanks again for your feedback and help

Regards,
Luis

a) Compilation in the IDE:
--------------------------
So you tell me it is finding jfxrt.jar but you still have compile errors?

Can you show a screenshot of the "Plug-in Dependencies"-Classpath-Entry
in your Package Explorer?

b) Compilation with tycho
-------------------------
compile with java7: You need to add jfxrt.jar to the default compilation
classpath

compile with java8: You need to put jfxswt.jar to the default
compilation classpath

c) The Adapter has nothing to do with tooling!
----------------------------------------------
That you added this to the eclipse.ini tells me that you have NOT
installed the e(fx)clipse tooling into your IDE hence the compilation
problems!

Please install
http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/updates-released/1.2.0/site to
your host IDE (not sure what happens we the custom entry you added happens)

Hi Tom,

a) Compilation in the IDE:
I didn't add the jfxrt.jar to my classpath I thought it will be included by the bundle. Now I have added the jar to my classpath without adding to my runtime because it will selected by the adapter.

Do I need to include the jar to compile my project?

b) Compilation with tycho
Thanks for the answer I will add the dependency

c) The Adapter has nothing to do with tooling!
I will add the "osgi.framework.extensions" to my product file in order to use tycho.

Regards,
Luis

I repeat you should NOT add the bundle to the classpath yourself - if
you would have installed the e(fx)clipse tooling it does that for you.

The adapters and bundles are pure runtime things and having to do with
the IDE compilation path created by PDE. So please install e(fx)clipse
tooling into your IDE.

Please stop doing that.

NO. Just install the e(fx)clipse tooling.

I can't follow. You don't have to add anything at all. p2 will take care
of everything when exporting with it.

I still have the feeling that you don't fully grasped how this works and
you still have NOT installed our Eclipse IDE tooling extension giving
you a specialized css-editor, ... .
