Publishing a Configuration in a script? [message #13654]

Originally posted by: paul.quinn.xwave.com

I would like to be able to publish an existing configuration from EPF/RMC
as a web site as part of a 'nightly build' script. I'm relatively new to
the Eclipse plugin world, but as I understand it, I would create a
headless plugin, which in turn makes the appropriate calls to the EPF API.

Is that the recommended strategy? Has anyone else done this previously? Is
there a source of information out there that could help identify the API
calls, etc. that I need, other than doing stack traces, etc., and reading
the EPF source?

Any and all help gratefully received.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

I have the same need, and have started to do some work in this area.

I've opened Bugzilla record 148030 to track the issue, and will post a
patch with the code I have so far.

I've added a patch to the bug.

The patch contains the following two hacks:
org.eclipse.epf.library.ui.LibraryUIManager.addConfiguration Contribution()
needs a try/catch(IllegalStateException) block around the entire method
body to catch the case that the WorkbenchWindow is not open. (This is
just a hack, the way that the contribution is made needs improved as it
doesn't play nice when the plugin is in something other that the EPFC RCP)

org.eclipse.epf.authoring.ui.AuthoringUIPlugin.start() commented out the
call to promptForMethodLibrary() because it forces the UI to open. See
also bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=146387

Thanks, Brian. I'll take a look at your patch. I assume from the lack of
any other feedback that (a) this is the way to go (no flames, at least)
and (b) not many people have done it, although I'd be a little surprised
if the RMC/RUP group (Peter Haumer et al) within IBM doesn't have the
capability. Of course, maybe that's who you're building it for... ;^)

Cheers,
Paul
