Configuring EMF and RAP as Runtime [message #650105]

I am setting the "Rich Ajax Application" from the "Editor" category to true and generating the edit and editor code.

Why doesn't the generated class Application implements IEntryPoint?

Also, why doesn't the manifest for the Editor plugin includes/adds the dependency to the org.eclipse.rap.rwt bundle when it is generated?

If I have to add/change the above manually, then what is the purpose of setting the "Rich Ajax Application" in the genmodel to true?

Note: I know Ed might suggest to ask about RAP on the RAP newsgroup/forum. However, I am posting here first since this have to do with the genmodel.

Why does it need to? It implements IApplication.

It uses package imports that can resolve to packages in the RAP bundles.

I'm not sure why you had to change anything.

No, it's an EMF question.

Ed,

Thanks for the clarification.

So it seems that when one sets the "Rich Ajax Application" in the genmodel to true, then the doSaveAs() is changed, the class OpenAction and the Button resourceURIBrowseFileSystemButton are removed.

Are all those the changes?

AJ, there are a number of differences in the non java artifacts for dependencies - MANIFEST.MF, plugin.xml etc.. But those aren't going to be overwritten when you change the target to RAP. That's why I've generally found it helpful to change the editor plugin to a separate name, i.e. com.mymodel.editor.rap and generate an entirely new plugin. It might be interesting to do the same thing for .edit just to compare, but I have found that it works fine to use the same .edit plugin for both the IDE and RAP targets, and of course you really don't want to have to maintain two different edit codebases. It's pretty easy to do (almost) single sourcing but there are some subtleties.
