Hi,

I am new to ECP and RAP but have been working with RCP and EMF for a while now.

Currently I want to create a RAP application with ECP.
The first step is to get the ecp rap demo up and running but I am struggling with this step for quite a while now.
I imported the demo and created a target platform (used the RAP target platform and added ECP-E4-SDK, ECP-RAP-SDK, Net4J-SDK, EMF-RAP-components and EMF Data Binding) as well as a launch configuration.
The project is error free and the bundle validation of the runtime configuration shows no problems. However I keep getting runtime errors. for example:
org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException: Could not create view: org.eclipse.emf.ecp.ui.ModelRepositoriesView

Obviously there are some plugins missing.
I have tried to add things to my target as well as to the launch config but this seems to take forever using a "try and error" approach, the dependencies list seems to get way too long and I still keep getting runtime errors.

Could anyone please give me some advice what exactly must be contained in the target platform to get the ecp rap demo running?

Is there a smarter way to find out which bundles are required besides "try and error"?

Can I download a working target platform for this use case anywhere or can I find one within any of the ECP bundles?

There are outstanding tutorials on how to use ECP but I could not find any good documentation on how to combine it with RAP. If such a tutorial exists please provide a link.

I am using the Luna and ECP 1.3.0 (build from June 10)

Thx in advance for your help!

Hi Chris,
did you use the ECP RAP Target definition from here: http://git.eclipse.org/c/emfclient/org.eclipse.emf.ecp.core.git/tree/releng/org.eclipse.emf.ecp.target.rap/ecpRAP.target?
There is also a ready to run launch configuration in the ecp repositories: http://git.eclipse.org/c/emfclient/org.eclipse.emf.ecp.core.git/tree/releng/org.eclipse.emf.ecp.releng/ecpRapDemo.launch
Please try this combination. If you encounter any problems please write.

Cheers,
Eugen

Hi,

Do you want to use ECP or EMF Forms only? If the second, please also be
aware of the following BR:

Thanks for your answers Jonas and Eugen,

In the meantime I have found the target definition and the launch configuration in the git sourcecode repository.
I expected to be able to find both in the same way as it is decribed for the ecp rap source code (extracted from bundles).

I got the RAP version of my model up and running with ECP 1.2.1 in Kepler now.

I am planning to use all of ECP (not just forms) as the requirements of my application are quite clos to what is provided by ECP.

Awesome work this piece of software !!
But may I suggest that someone creates a tutorial on how to get the ecp rap code up and running in practice?
It took me days to find out which will most likely let many early adopters leave in frustration.

Cheers

chris
