How to use Dali with existing Plugin-Projects ? [message #434537] Thu, 02 August 2007 12:41 Go to next message

Hello !

How can I use Dali with modells existing in my RCP - Plugin projects ?
I could not figure out how to use Dali without an JPA project or how to link
the modell classes from the JPA project to my RCP-plugin so that a
product export does not fail.

Thank you
Sebastian

Hi,

Currently you cannot add JPA functionality to an existing non-faceted*
project. Bug 191717 addresses some of this discussion related to Dali.
We plan on adding this functionality for 2.0.

Another possibility, and one that it seems you may have tried, is to put
your persistent model into a separate JPA project and map your model
there, and then include this JPA project as a required project in your RCP
plugin project's build path. I'm not sure if this is possible in your
case, as everyone's situation can be different with dependancies, etc.

Hope this helps explain things. We should be better suited for this in
2.0.

Hi Neil,

Thank you for your answer.
It's too bad, but I am going to wait till 2.0

Plugin-Projects can only have runtime dependencies to other plugins.
Adding dependencies to the buildpath doesn't work at runtime.
Linking external source folders works only for build time too - for any
reason the product exporter can not follow the links on my Win-XP.

Sebastian,

Not sure if you were aware of this, but you can convert your JPA project
into a plugin project with JPA and Java already installed. This should
solve your export issue once the plugin dependencies are correct.

If you right-click a JPA project, at the bottom there is a PDE
Tools->Convert Projects to Plug-in Projects... menu item. This will give
you a JPA Plugin project.

Neil,

That's it ! Thank you.

Would be nice if there was a similar menu for JPA Projects from existing
Plugin-Projects.

Just a note. The reason that we didn't add this for 1.0 is that we have
switched to using facets instead of natures, and there is no *general*
functionality for turning a non-faceted project into a faceted project.
After talking with the facets development team/leader we know we can
provide a *specific* solution in the case of JPA/Java, so this should be
coming down the pike forthwith.

Did this functionality make it to 2.0? I have a JPA project. I created a
plugin project, RCP headless. Can I use the JPA project as if it were a
plugin project?

I've done some experimenting, searched through the newsgroup, looked in
the wiki and check the new and noteworthy.

I am probably missing something, can you help me out?

Thanks
Bill Blalock

Hi Bill,

Yes, the functionality described in this thread was included in 2.0. See
the N&N here -
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/releases/3.0.0/newandnotewor thy/jpa.php.

The issue was about combining different capabilities into the same
project. So, if you want your JPA project to also be a plugin project,
you can simply convert your JPA project into a JPA plugin project by using
the "PDE Tools->Convert Projects to Plug-in Projects" functionality.

You could also go in the other direction, and convert an existing Java
Plugin Project to a JPA Plugin Project by using the new "JPA
Tools->Convert to JPA Project" feature described here.

Both options are available in the Project context menu. Hope this helps.

Neil
