Has anyone tried the maven repositories for e(fx)clipse? [message #1761052]

Hi everyone!

I would like to start developing an application with Gradle. I know Tom has tried e(fx)clipse with Maven and I know switching from Maven to Gradle is rather trivial. My "only" problem is that I don't have a starting point. Has anyone tried making a simple app this way?

Basically I need to know:
- how to launch the application as a regular Java project
- where to find the information of the archetypes I need to depend on based on what I want to program (I tried finding that information on-line and I failed miserably).
- if e(fx)clipse is expecting an Application.e4xmi file somewhere.
- of course, any other suggestion that might be helpful!

Thanks!

Tom,
I noticed the archetype-catalog.xml file in the maven repository contains only:

ArchetypeContentGenerator

Shouldn't that file contain the definition of all the archetypes? I am totally stuck with this. Any help to get started will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Anyone else could give me a hint about that Maven repository? I don't want to keep trying things out if the content of archetype-catalog.xml is not right.
Sorry to keep bugging everyone with this.
Thanks!

I pushed the repo at:

https://github.com/BestSolution-at/e4-efxclipse-maven-sample

To launch I wrote a special launcher helper who reads the app.elc:

https://github.com/BestSolution-at/maven-e4-launcher

I launched the application with:

java -jar org.eclipse.fx.maven.launcher-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -elc_file /Users/tomschindl/Documents/e-workspaces/efxclipse-master-maven/sample.mvn.parent/sample.mvn.app/app.elc

This is all not ideal because I can not debug, ... so I have to find a better way to do all that

Yes but we need to start exploring the field but we need to do things step by step and step 1 is to change the lib dev to maven and afterwards we look at application dev

Hi Tom,

How do I launch the [current] e4-efxclipse-maven-sample HelloMaven program from within Eclipse? Do I use a the maven-e4-launcher or a Run Configuration?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you need to launch with a new and shiny launch configuration so you need to have the latest nightly build of e(fx)clipse installed. I just updated the description in the README of the project
