e4 sample application

The repository contains a sample application built with pure maven and hence it allows to develop mavne e4 applications in Eclipse, Netbeans and IntelliJ IDEA.

Building the final product

Clone the git repository:

user@host> git clone https://github.com/BestSolution-at/e4-efxclipse-maven-sample.git

and enter into the 'parent' folder:

user@host> cd e4-efxclipse-maven-sample/

To build the final product you need to preinstall an extension who reconfigures tycho. You could do that by either executing the provided initialization script:

user@host> ./initializeMavenRepo.sh

or by executing the following tasks manually:

user@host> mvn dependency:get -Dartifact=at.bestsolution:tycho-lifecycle-controller:0.0.3-SNAPSHOT -DrepoUrl=http://maven.bestsolution.at/efxclipse-snapshots/
user@host> mvn dependency:get -Dartifact=at.bestsolution:maven-osgi-targetplatform-extension:0.0.3-SNAPSHOT -DrepoUrl=http://maven.bestsolution.at/efxclipse-snapshots/
user@host> mvn dependency:get -Dartifact=at.bestsolution:maven-osgi-package-plugin:0.0.3-SNAPSHOT -DrepoUrl=http://maven.bestsolution.at/efxclipse-snapshots/
user@host> mvn dependency:get -Dartifact=at.bestsolution:maven-osgi-exec-plugin:0.0.3-SNAPSHOT -DrepoUrl=http://maven.bestsolution.at/efxclipse-snapshots/

user@host> cd sample.mvn.parent
user@host> mvn clean install

You can run the product from the command line with the following statement:

user@host> mvn -f launch/pom.xml test -P netbeans

Compile from IDE's without Maven extension support

TODO

Eclipse

To run the application inside Eclipse you need to have at least e(fx)clipse 3.1.0 tooling installed who provides a new run-configuration type MVN OSGi Launcher. If you need to recreate the launcher, click on the browse button and select the launch module.

Sample Video:

Netbeans

To run in Netbeans no additional stuff has to be installed. The custom actions are checked into the sample.mvn.parent project.

Sample Video:

IntelliJ IDEA

To run in IntelliJ IDEA no additional stuff has to be installed when running you need to manually select launch the maven executable with 'intellij' profile.
