Using JavaFX in Eclipse RCP Web Start Application [message #1240409]

Hi,

I found a short discussion on google groups:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/efxclipse/CYHPLA0dTec
and decided to continue topic here.

I am trying to create a webstart for my eclipse 4 rcp based application.
I am using JavaFX inside SWT.

I have everything configured correctly, exported product works great.
Problem comes when using WebStart.

In JNLP file I tried to add this line:

<j2se version="1.7+" java-vm-args="-Dosgi.framework.extensions=javax.transaction,org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.hook,org.eclipse.equinox.weaving.hook,org.eclipse.fx.osgi"/>

later I tried to use this line:

<property name="osgi.framework.extensions" value="javax.transaction,org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.hook,org.eclipse.equinox.weaving.hook,org.eclipse.fx.osgi" />

Moreover, I tried to add the same property value as in config.ini in exported product, so with reference\:file\:....

Neither of them work.
I think is more general problem with osgi extensions under WebStart.

Any idea?

Cheers,
Paweł.

I really can't help because I don't use WebStart generally speaking I
think you have to ask at an Equinox specific list.

Hi Tom,

thank you for response.
This is actually what I expected. After debugging I see that the problem is more general in loading osgi extensions in webstart.
So I am going to them for help.

Cheers,
Paweł.

Hi,

for future if anyone interested I created a bug 427663 in Equinox project with a workaround described there.

Cheers,
Paweł.

Is that really a work around or suggested fix? Could you get it to work
without patching equinox?

Yeah, right. This is a suggested fix. To make it working right now one needs to extend from WebStartMain and override almost entire Main class (so did I, as I need it working now :/ ). So all in all, it could be called a work around, but a really ugly one. Depends what are your customer expectations for a next product presentation Wink

Hi,

Maybe it would be good to document - although ugly - your solution for
others? We have a https://wiki.eclipse.org/Efxclipse/Runtime/Recipes
where we collect recipes to use our API and I think adding a WebStart
section with recipes and workarounds might be a good idea!

Hi,

sorry for late answer.
Of course I agree about this idea!
Should I prepare small description and post it here or how?

Cheers,
Paweł.

It's a wiki - just edit the wiki page!
