I created a new setup in the new version of Oomph and would like to try it.

What is the sure-fire way of doing that?

- I tried pushing the "Launch the installer for the current project" but nothing happens (nothing on the error log either)
- I tried copying the .setup file to the root of the installer folder next to setup-eclipse.exe
- I tried to set the "Logical project container" to User and Eclipse.org projects but neither made the setup appear in the installer.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I once observed that putting the .setup file into my home dir worked
better than putting it besides setup-eclipse.exe. I was using the
windows git bash to run the setup afterwards. Not sure if that helps..

Did you try with the new version of the installer (org.eclipse.oomph, around 2014.05.26, instead of org.eclipse.cdo.releng)?

Should the name of my setup appear on the "Projects" page?

Abel,

You should be able to drag a *.setup and drop it into the Project catalog.

Like Abel, I tried the tree points he noticed, I also tried to drag my
setup file into the project page (the page right after the product one),
but nothing happened. So I guess, there is something missing in my setup
file, or I don't understand what you want to say by "Project catalog".

Thanks for any other suggestions (if there are).

You should be able to drag a *.setup resource from your Eclipse
workspace or from the file system explorer, drag until you hover over
the "Eclipse.org Projects" tree item in the Projects page's tree
viewer. That should create a link...

Failing that, you can locate the file
<user.home>/.eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/setups/org.eclipse.projects.setup
and add a line as follows to refer to your *.setup.

<project
href="file:/D:/sandbox/oomph/git/org.eclipse.oomph/setups/interim/xtext.setup#/"/>

This should be an absolute URI starting with file: or http: and should
use / as the segment separator; note the #/ at the end refers to the
root object in your *.setup resource.

Thanks Ed, it works.

Whenever I wanted to drag my setup file, I did on the tree view, not
specifically on the "Eclipse.org Projects".

Yes, it's not the most obvious thing. There's no support for removing
it either, other than editing the file I mentioned. Please open a
bugzilla asking for a mechanism that's more discoverable.

I am currently hanging at the same stage. I can not drag&drop the setup file into the tree. I also edited the file Ed mentioned. This gives me a "<user>" entry in the tree but I can't select it, nor is there a child I could add.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Have you really tried to drop it exactly on the "Eclipse.org" catalog node? The screenshot doesn't look like it. If that
doesn't work you may have to revert your manual changes to the file that Ed mentioned.

Dropping it on "Eclipse.org" isn't allowed either.

Chistoph,

There are some guards in
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui.wizards.ProjectPage.ItemProviderAdapterFactory.createProjectAdapter().SpecializedProjectItemProvider.createDragAndDropCommand(...).new
DragAndDropCommand() {...}.prepare(), i.e.,

protected boolean prepare()
{
projects.clear();

for (Object value : collection)
{
if (value instanceof URI)
{
URI uri = (URI)value;
SetupResource resource =
EMFUtil.loadResourceSafely(resourceSet, uri);
Project project =
(Project)EcoreUtil.getObjectByType(resource.getContents(),
SetupPackage.Literals.PROJECT);
if (project != null && project.getName() != null &&
(operation == DROP_COPY || project.eContainer() == null))
{
projects.add(project);
}
}
}

So the resource must contain a project that has a name. Perhaps your
resource isn't well formed?

Failing all that, what I suggested before, i.e., Failing that, you can
locate the file
<user.home>/.eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/setups/org.eclipse.projects.setup
and add a line as follows to refer to your *.setup.

<project
href="file:/D:/sandbox/oomph/git/org.eclipse.oomph/setups/interim/xtext.setup#/"/>

Hi Ed,

you may be right. Maybe the setup file was created with an older Version or is corrupt in some other way. This is the file here:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/efxclipse/org.eclipse.efxclipse.git/tree/releng/org.eclipse.fx.releng.devsetup/efxclipse.setup

If I read it correctly it should have the name "efxclipse".

Where du I put the <project/> element? I tried it like this without success:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:Project
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
    name="user.project"
    label="&lt;User>">
  <description>A container project for local user projects that are virtual members of the Eclipse.org project catalog</description>
  <project href="file:/D:/GitRepos/eclipse/org.eclipse.efxclipse/releng/org.eclipse.fx.releng.devsetup/efxclipse.setup#/"/>
</setup:Project>

With this change I see a "<User>" entry directly under "Eclipse.org" but I can't add it to the list and it doesn't have any children.

I've attached a migrated version of the project. I've not had time to test it extensively. It seems you need some type of task to set up the target platform.

Hi Ed --

I'm having the same problems as these users, I cannot figure out how to get the setup file to show up as a choice in the installer. I've tried dropping it on the folder, putting it next to the application, and editing the org.eclipse.projects.setup in my .eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/setups as you described. I've restarted the oomph installer of course, and refreshed it. It's version 1.0.0.v20140716-0322.

I have also tried with the efxclipse.setup file you have in this thread, and with the test.setup file from http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdo/cdo.git/plain/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.cdo.releng.setup/setups/test.setup

all of them have the same result, which is nothing.

Suggestions? This tool looks perfect for our group and I really want it to work!

Thanks a ton
Tamar

That one definitely won't work because it's not using all the latest
namespaces.

When editing your *.setup, do you have an outline view? If not, you
need to set the logical container of your project to point at the
Eclipse.org (or Github.com) project catalog. Without an outline, you
won't know if your project is completely well formed. With live
validation enabled (it should be by default) you should see any direct
problems in the project via the decorators. In the outline you should
see your streams listed and under each stream is essentially a preview
of the tasks that will be performed to provision that stream into a
product. You must have at least one stream; only a stream can be
provisioned, not a project without streams.

My immediate guess is that the project has no streams and so there's
nothing that can be provisioned for it. Getting the outline view to
show your per-stream tasks will help.
> This tool looks perfect for our group and I really want it to work!
I'm sure we can get it working for you. If the problem is simply a
missing stream, we should probably add validation that a project should
have at least one stream or at least one subproject (with the constraint
applying recursively).

Thanks Ed for your response --

I am not convinced it's my project, because my project has a master stream and looks a lot like the efxclipse.setup and test.setup. It does have a correct looking view in the setup editor, with the outline view.
It has validated, there are no problem markers.


Is there a current, valid test setup file that I can use? I'm feeling like maybe I'm editing the wrong file, here is my org.eclipse.projects.setup file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:Project
xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
name="user.project"
label="&lt;User>">

<project href="file://Users/tecohen/Documents/workspace/oomph_setup/test.setup#/"/>
<project href="file://Users/tecohen/Documents/workspace/oomph_setup/efxclipse.setup#/"/>
</setup:Project>


Thanks so much for your help!

Tamar,

Do you see other files in your .eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/setups
folder? I.e., the user.setup? I guess so because you didn't create
this whole file by yourself did you?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:Project
xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
name="user.project"
label="<User>">
<description>A container project for local user projects that are
virtual members of the Eclipse.org project catalog</description>
<project
href="file://Users/tecohen/Documents/workspace/oomph_setup/VerveSimple.setup#/"/>
<project
href="file://Users/tecohen/Documents/workspace/oomph_setup/VerveKnRoverRAPID.setup#/"/>
<project
href="file://Users/tecohen/Documents/workspace/oomph_setup/test.setup#/"/>
<project
href="file://Users/tecohen/Documents/workspace/oomph_setup/efxclipse.setup#/"/>
</setup:Project>

I suppose it got created for you, but that implies you successfully did
a drag and drop to have created it...

If you have this file in the right place, I would expect you'd see a
<user> project as the first child in your Eclipse.org projects list.
I assume that Eclipse.org project catalog is showing:



Maybe there are clues in the configuration/*.log of the installer itself?

If you want to email me your setup file, I can see if there's something
wrong with it...

Do you see other files in your .eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/setups
folder? I.e., the user.setup? I guess so because you didn't create
this whole file by yourself did you?

TC Yes there are other files there, I edited the one file to add references to my setup. These do not show up in a user folder and there is no user folder.

I suppose it got created for you, but that implies you successfully did
a drag and drop to have created it...

If you have this file in the right place, I would expect you'd see a
<user> project as the first child in your Eclipse.org projects list.
I assume that Eclipse.org project catalog is showing:

TC project catalog is showing but no user project



Maybe there are clues in the configuration/*.log of the installer itself?

If you want to email me your setup file, I can see if there's something
wrong with it...

TC thanks, I've attached a sample setup file and the log file. Maybe I should download / install a fresh oomph?

Tamar,

The project looks fine and I can drag it into my user project (or to
it's container catalog), but what exactly do you mean by the "TC project
catalog"? The Eclipse.org catalog should be showing and that's where
you should drag it (because that's what you've made the logical
container of your project). There should only be two choices of catalog
in your drop down menu for the catalog selection...

All in-line replies were prefixed "TC", which stands to the monogram for Tamar Cohen.

I see! :-P

It all works for me, and the project setup looks good, so I don't see
the source of the problem. Perhaps deleting your oomph installer and
unzipping a new one would help. Also, you should try renaming your
setups folder so that a new user.setup and other stuff in there is
created fresh. That's essentially starting from a fresh clean state...

Hm. Still no joy. I've installed a fresh version of Oomph, blown away my .eclipse. When I try to drag and drop either from the package explorer or from finder (I'm on osx 10.8.5) onto the Eclipse.org folder in Oomph Installer, it won't show up as a drop target.

I've once again edited the org.eclipse.projects.setup file within my .eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/setups directory as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:Project
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
    name="user.project"
    label="&lt;User>">
  <description>A container project for local user projects that are virtual members of the Eclipse.org project catalog</description>
  <project href="VerveKnRoverRAPID.setup#/" />
  <project href="file:/Users/tecohen/Documents/workspace/oomph_setup/VerveKnRoverRAPID.setup#/" />
  <project href="file:/Users/tecohen/Documents/workspace/oomph_setup/efxclipse.setup#/" />
</setup:Project>


And just for kicks, I copied my VerveKnRoverRAPID.setup file to be alongside the executable I'm running for Oomph.

The User folder DOES NOT show up as a child of the Eclipse.org folder.

Interestingly, when I click the refresh button within the Oomph installer and carefully watch the progress messages, I actually see the name of my setup files flick by.

Is there something I have wrong in the org.eclipse.projects.setup file that would be causing the User folder not to display?

Log files continue to look good to me as well, there are some errors but none of them pertaining to loading my file.

thanks
Tamar

also one other weirdness, the filter does nothing, I'm not sure what it is supposed to do but nothing changes when I type anything in the filter.

HOLY COW I was just totally confused. The first screen (image attached) was where I thought we were expected to see the user folder and to be able to drag and drop things, but it turns out after I press Next is where the folders including the User folder with my setups show up! AND drag and drop works in this area.

sorry. thank you! sorry AND thank you!

ok I'm finishing up my exploration of using this tool now. Thanks again for your amazingly prompt response and hopefully the resolution of my confusion can help others.

Oh dear. Yes, they both have Eclipse.org as the root object, though on
the first page it's the list of Products and the second the list of
Projects and when coding those two words differ by only two letters. :-P
