Hi
Until ow I worked with jface and swt. Now I want to see if e(fx)clipse is a alternative in my work. I develope on macosx with java 9 and eclipse oxygen. When I try to set up the target platform I get errors:

http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/runtime-released/3.2.0/site

see attached picture

How can I resolve those dependencies? I tried with several combinations but did not succeed.

Any help is appreciated!

Christian

See https://wiki.eclipse.org/Efxclipse/Tutorials/Tutorial4 - your target should only contain the runtime components. The problem is that while we e(fx)clipse can run on Java9 development on it is a bit problematic because of the javax.annotation debacle - https://github.com/eclipse/efxclipse-rt/issues/206

So the nightly now works on Java9 even as a development platform! Just follow the tutorial

Hi Tom,
I am still having problems with the IDE not being able to find @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy. The dependency is set to javax.annotation as an Imported Package.
I removed the target platform based on runtime 3.2.0 and created a new one based on the nightly runtime, but Eclipse still cannot find the annotations.
The product shows the new target platform (3.3.0) with all modules activated, and I can see javax.annotation there.
I then updated the tooling to the nightly version, rebooted Eclipse to force a workspace rebuild, but still no joy.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!

[Edit]
Well, one step forward. I just restarted the computer, launched Eclipse and that problem seems solved (I can launch the application with no problem). The problem that remains is compiling with maven after updating the efxclipse runtime repository to:

<repositories>
	<repository>
		<id>efxclipse-runtime</id>
		<layout>p2</layout>
		<url>http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/runtime-nightly/site</url>
	</repository>
        // Other repositories here
</repositories>


The maven 'clean' goal updated the repository information, but the compile still fails:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-compiler-plugin:1.1.0:compile (default-compile) on project com.jfx.suppliers.ui.model: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks!

Ok I think the following is going on: Tycho does not add javax.annotation to the classpath when building because it assumes it is available from the JRE (because the EE suggest so)

The following possible fixes:
* Use a versioned package import instead of an unversioned
* Explicitly add javax.annotation to the compile-classpath throught "jars.extra.classpath=platform:/plugin/javax.annotation" in your build.properties

I confirm that using a versioned javax.annotation (1.2.0) did the trick. Thanks!
