Hi All,

I had some dependencies to the Resource plug-in.But i do see the RAP runtime does not contain the RAP plug-ins.
Do i have to then manually keep the dependency of the Resource plug-in from other targets ?.

Thanks and Regards,
Saurav

ok...my mistake i could never think in the lines of RAP...may be a beer will help here...

My use case would need my web application to access the local file system.I dont think RAP has a functionality where in i can visualize an Eclipse workspace kind of thing in user's system.Hence the unavailablity of the Resource plug-in.

Then do i need to use the Java IO to access the local file system?.
Any plans for leveraging the Resource plug-in of the EFS in RAP ?

There is no way to access the local file system without special
plug-ins, applets or similar things. The browsers security policy
prevent Javascript code from doing so.

We do not provide the resource plug-in because it is not suitable for
general-purpose use in a multi-user-environment. There might be
use-cases in which it makes sense to use the resource plug-in. In such
cases you will have to add it to the target by yourself. When doing so,
always bear in mind that *all* users/session will then access *one*
single workspace.

With java.io you will still be accessing the servers file system.

I thought i could not add anything in my target.

Please clear my understanding.If i add the resource plug-in my target.Would it not create problem while creating/deploying the war in the server ?.

I agree.I have gone the Java I/O way.

The last question still remains i.e. any plans of leveraging the resource concept of EFS in the RAP ?.

Again many thanks for the answers.

cheers,
Saurav

Apart from the already mentioned fact that the resource plug-in isn't
multi-user-aware, it won't cause problems.
Please make sure that you have a good understanding of the underlying
technologies of RAP. In particular OSGi and how to work with it in PDE.
Here are some links to further information:

As said before, the resource plug-in (and as such EFS as it is used by
the resource plug-in) is of no general use in a multi-user environment.
Therefore there are no plans to integrate it in RAP. However, this
doesn't prevent you from using it in a RAP Environment. The only thing
is, it doesn't come with RAP out of the box.
