executable jar for xtext 2.9.x with maven [message #1723412] Mon, 15 February 2016 08:24 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello Colleagues

I try to find out how can deliver my XTEXT application to end user.

I created default HelloWorld DSL using eclipse IDE.
I use maven as build system and maven file layout. When I creating project I use only Generic IDE support option in New Project Wizard
I'm able to build parent project after build I have to jar files one for mydsl and one for mydsl.ide. Both of them does not contain Main-Class - properties.Both of them include artifacts related to mydsl implementation.
Also I understand I shall include a lot of dependencies to my jar file (for example eclipse bundles)
It is clear.
In 2.8 I've created eclipse product defintion and make export of this product, than I can deliver application for my end user.

How can I the same on 2.9 release with maven

I found example on
https://github.com/xtext/maven-xtext-example and article about continues integration on https://eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/350_continuous_integration.html

But no documentation how delivering xtext application that build with maven on 2.9.x platform to end user. End user means persons who use DSL language in his work

Partially this question was discussed in topic
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1074770/

But I could not find final answer for my questions

Thank you in advance
Alex

there will be an exception java.util.MissingResourceException: The string resource '_UI_DiagnosticRoot_diagnostic' could not be located
cause of multuiples properties shading each other. that my be solved by creating a uber plugin.properties manually (or simply be ignore)

or you do not pack the dependencies into the jar but manage the classpath yourself e.g. using the maven dependencies plugin
