What about Linux? [message #11933]

Hi,

I have searched for this, but have come up (surprisingly) empty handed.
Is there a reason that the Riena project does not support Linux? Is
this expected to change in the near future?

Thanks,
Joel

We havnt tried Linux yet. However there are currently no platform dependant bundles in Riena. There used to be one
platform dependant bundle in M3 but in M4 this problem went away due to some enhancements in 3.4 of Eclipse.

So yes we like to support Linux and if you find issues why it doesnt work there, file them as bugreports. If you have
solutions, add a patch (even better).

Currently no one asked for Linux support so thats why we rather fullfilled the requirements of the existing userbase.

Hi,

I'm working with Riena on Linux and it works fine. I only modified an
installation procedure a bit (I use Eclipse 3.4.1): I did not change a
target platform (as it is suggested on wiki), but instead I put unzipped
riena M4 features and plugins into eclipse/dropins/riena folder. After
that I removed from that directory all features/plugins which exist in
other dropins folders.

Hi Robert,

cool to hear that you are using Riena on Linux. I would be interested to hear what parts of Riena you are using (only
communication, ridgets, navigation, everything) and for what kind of application. And how you are doing ? Any problems,
suggestions ?

Feedback is always welcomed

Hi, Christian

I'm working on a system for automatic generation of model-based
applications (for a purpose of other projects).
So, basically, there is a standard tree-based model (EMF) with some
specific annotations. This model is used for generating a server part
(EJBs), WSDL interfaces (for external clients) and UI (currently RCP
application). As you can see Riena fits well into some parts (UI,
client-server communication in a "SOA" manner) and that's why I decided
to take a look at it.
Currently (for a week or so) I've been implementing a generator for UI
parts (using ridgets, navigation) and the next step is using Riena
communication API to get/put objects from/to server side. So, in other
words, I'm interesting in all aspects of Riena :-).

Regards,
Robert
