What is a Scout project? [message #935806] |

Hello,
I am trying to evaluate the Scout project and at a first glance i am impressed about the concept and i want to concragulate your job.
I was following you tutorials and due to my faults, i wanted many times to restart from scratch and therefore i needed to delete the failed projects. I could not find any information about how to do it and i decided to experiment by deleting all relevant Java plugin projects. It was succeeded, but now i have another question.
What is a Scout project? It is just a collection of 1 to 6 plugin projects with same name and certain prefixes e.g. xxxx.swt or there is also an other way to declare the involved projects?
As you could expected i tested the first assumption by creating individual projects with same naming and it did not worked.
Could you please give me a brief explanation of Scout project definition?

Hello Lucas,
Thank you very much for your description, it was very informative for me, and sure i am following your advice to use the Scout SDK to create my projects.
Maybe i missed it, but i did not found any description like this in EclipsePedia. In the case that there is no such description in Eclipsepedia, i would like to share with you the idea to create in Eclipsepedia apart of howtos and tutorials a section with tips where we could put such pieces of information.

Hello again
Quote:Scout Wiki is a work in Progress. Do not hesitate to mention stuff that you missed.
OK. I did it. Since it is my first contribution to Eclipsepedia, please take some time to review it.

Still missing some pieces of information.
I originally started that topic because when i created a new Scout project, i got the following error
Error occured while running operation job.
this method is not supported on : PlatformTranslationFile readOnly=true
The Scout project was created but there were errors. At least in client plugin there was no Desktop.
After many tries, finally i made a reproducable senario.
- Create a fresh new workspace
- Create Scout project xxx.first with "Online Tree and Table Form".
- Create Scout project xxx.second with "Online Tree and Table Form".
- Goto Package Explorer and delete all projects prefixed with xxx.first, and their contents on disk.
- Create Scout project xxx.third with "Online Tree and Table Form".
- Create Scout project xxx.first with "Online Tree and Table Form".
Comments
* The second creation of xxx.first will fail with the error mentioned above.
* This error will not appear, if in the creation of projects i had selected "An empty Application" instead.
* After the deletion of xxx.first, I searched for occurences of word "first" in my workspace but i found none.
Does anyone know why this happening? Of course the need to delete a project is very rare, but this error it seems to me as a sign that somewhere a piece of information about xxx.first was kept.

It sounds like a bug to me. Feel free to open a new one:
* Product: Scout
* Component: Scout SDK
You can copy paste your description. Thanks for the time you have invested in the investigation. Having a "reproducable senario" is very valuable and important.
For other people who find this conversation, copy the URL of your new bug in this forum thread and the URL of the forum thread in the bug.
