Export e(fx)clipse based application [message #1709776]

Hi,

(This post is a fork of this question at the Eclipse 4 forum).

Please, could you explain me more precisely how to export my e(fx)clispe based e4 application ?

My app is also using Tycho for building, do you think that is possible to do this during the Maven build ? For example, by using The Java Packager Tool ?

Thanks in advance.

If you used our e4 project wizard the build.xml generated can be run
after the tycho build and generates an installable unit.

We configured our Maven build to use AntRun call the build.xml (which in turn uses the Java Packager Tool) after building with Tycho. Keep in mind that the Java Packager Tool will only build for the platform where it is running. To build for multiple platforms you will need to run the packager step on those platforms. We use Jenkins for this and have a separate Windows slave that runs the packager.

Can you create a bugzilla with the ant-run call, then we could extend
our template to generate the pom.xml with it.

Ok, I see!

I got an error when building my product module.

[ERROR] Cannot resolve project dependencies:
[ERROR]   Software being installed: FAST 1.0.0
[ERROR]   Missing requirement: FAST 1.0.0 requires 'org.eclipse.equinox.executable.feature.group 0.0.0' but it could not be found

Could you tell me how to fix it ?

I use a custom Target Platform which looks like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<?pde version="3.8"?>
<target name="dp.fast.app.main" sequenceNumber="19">
    <locations>
        <location includeAllPlatforms="false" includeConfigurePhase="true" includeMode="slicer" includeSource="true" type="InstallableUnit">
            <unit id="org.eclipse.fx.target.feature.feature.group" version="2.1.0.201510010603"/>
            <repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/runtime-nightly/site"/>
        </location>
    </locations>
</target>

The org.eclipse.equinox.executable.feature is not part of the efxclipse target. You need to add it from the Eclipse repository. You can have a look at one of my examples on GitHub: https://github.com/fipro78/e4-cookbook-basic-recipe-fx/blob/master/de.codecentric.eclipse.tutorial.target/de.codecentric.eclipse.tutorial.target.target

The example is built using efxclipse 1.2.0 and Eclipse Luna, so you need to update to Mars to make it work with efxclipse 2.1.0

maybe we should add it to our repo. As many windows user like to use the
Equinox-Launcher we should make it as easy as possible.

It shouldn't hurt, and if I understood you correctly in the past, it should also work for Linux. "Only" exporting for Mac doesn't work. Correct?
