Application Branding Example [message #57896]

I've found one way to get branding to work for my previous non-IDE
application example - see the update at

http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/2586

I also found many ways to make it not work :-)

BTW, I'm now using eclipse-sdk_2.1-5_all.deb, and it works fine.

Thanks :)

btw, I've put up a first version of the pde-junit plugin:
deb[-src] http://www.katzien.de/debian/eclipse ./

It's a kind of experiment how eclipse plugins can be shiped as debs.
I'm currently trying to get my hands dirty with the cdt plugins. There
is no sourceIncluded.zip, so I mostly have to do the build.xmls from
source...

Don,

Thank You so much for doing this. Me and several other people have been
banging our heads on this one.

I happen to have a very similar set of requirements, with the differnce
being that I want what will basically be a SWT root window, that would
then be able to launch Swing/AWT windows.

Even though your WIKI is very complete and even though I have not yet
tried to duplicate your work, I would really appreciate it if you could
tarball the stuff you did. I am imagining that as a I try to do my own
app I will become frustrated by not having a working example.

It would be swell if you could post to the list, or send something
straight to me ( xmas@systemsbiology.org ).

Thanks Again.

I'd really like to build and provide debs (in an apt-gettable location) of
the plugins at zclipse.org. What do I need to do to make that work?

Great Idea!

> What do I need to do to make that work?

Do you know debian packages and how they work? If not, it will be
kind of hard to explain :)

This is how the eclipse-pde-junit debs were made:
mkdir <package>-<version>
geting the source via CVS (haven't tried yet with source builds, but
should work as well)
letting eclipse build a build.xml in a new workspace (at least no
plugins loaded)
-> classpath with lots of
.../../../../usr/share/eclipse/plugins/../*jars
Some sed fun to make this path absolute... I can give you the script
for this...
tar the 'orig.tar.gz' file...

call dh_make -> you get the debian subdir. You can also just copy
that from the eclipse-pde-junit deb
editing *install, control, changelog and so on in the debian subdir
debian/rules:
* calling ant with target 'zip.plugin' in the 'build' target
* unzipping this the created zip into the right dir in the 'install'
target (see *install file and man dh_install how to get it from
there into the packages)
* calling ant with clean in the clean target

fakeroot debian/rules build or binary to get it working...

go on debugging/changing things until lintian and linda doesn't
complain anymore :)

I'm pretty sure, that it should be possible to get all this done
via a script, but I'm not that good with scripts yet and another
problem is, that build.xml has to be generated from within eclipse.

BTW: is there a way to call the action from 'outside'. AFAIK think,
the logic behind this script just takes the plugin.xml and some
properties file...

I'm currently thinking of making a generic build.xml, which should
work for 'one jar, only default plugins as "required"', but that
will have to wait until I've packaged cdt...

To sum it up: If you have done some java packaging, it will be easy.
The hardest part is geting the source and building the 'build.xml'.
The rest should be easy, if you know what the files in debian subdir
are for... If not, have a look at the developer corner at
debian.org -> New maintainer guide (also available via apt-get as a
package)

I sent this directly. If anyone else would like it, let me know.

Well, I have succeeded in getting my non-workbench using GUI app to run.
It opens both a sample Swing and SWT window.

Contact me if you are curious.

The next phase of my project is to partially rebuild some workbench
functionality so that my plugins can all talk to each other.

I targzed up all of my stuff into a file, you can download it at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/csbi/

Choose the ISB Integrator.

It should extract to its own directory called "integrator"
then do:
cd integrator

Then, edit the integrator file to make it specific for yuor machine (
ask me if this makes no sense ).

then ./integrator should start Eclipse, and it should create two
windows, one that is SWT, and one that is Swing.

Thank you for the detailed information. Could you post a screenshot of what
your non-IDE application looks like?

Thanks.
