| [efxclipse-dev] Splash Screen Service |
Hi, I’m soon going to port our splash screen service we developed for SWT to FX. Are you interested to include this in efxclipse? If so, it would be cool to discuss some implementation details. Step 1) Migrate the service to JavaFX The service will be located it a separate bundle which can optionally be included. The bundle should have minimal dependencies. The SplashService will be available as an OSGi service, so it can be used in any OSGi application based on FX. Used in an E4 application the service factory can be injected on @PostContextCreate and its properties (image location, etc.) can be set there. The SplashService will also be available for injection, so the application can set the text and the progress. Step 2) Integrate the service into E4Application In this case the factory properties can also be set as properties of the product definition (extension point org.eclipse.core.runtime.products). The E4Application will then handle showing and hiding the splash screen. The SplashService will be available for injection, so the application can set the text and the progress. Please let me know what you think.
