I recenty developed an Eclipse RCP application based on an existing RCP application. It´s basically used as a url protocol handler which reuses authentication and some services. I´m trying to avoid a second installation and look for a way to integrate the new RCP application into the installation of the existing RCP - is there a way to achieve this?
I´m (still) using Eclipse 3.8 and build with tycho.
Assuming that you have multiple applications within your product, you can launch the desired one using the
-application id
runtime argument.
In our application, which integrates multiple Eclipse RCP applications, we have a custom target platform, which bundles all other application plugins, so everything is shipped together. Also, all artifacts, provided by other applications can be retrieved from the maven repository, so that necessary services may be added as a dependencies to, for instance, server side projects. Hope that helps.

I am a total beginner with developing in scalatra, eclipse, sbt, web services, etc...coming from a proprietary SAP Abap world where everything is different. Recently I found interest in developing in scala and SAP opens its SAP Cloud Platform, so I tried some tutorials to create some very simple web applications.
I could manage to create the sample tutorial with scalatra and sbt.
Scalatra includes Jetty as a default container.
I want to use Eclipse as SAP uses it as a standard development environment. I managed also to install the sbt-eclipse plugin and could import the project into the eclipse environment.
But now I'm stuck.
How can I change the web-container (server) to Tomcat which is installed locally in my eclipse environment?
It is a Scala project, so I cannot use the option which is available in a J2EE project to define the Target Runtime Environment in the properties.
Ultimately I would like to deploy it to my Hana trial account at SAP Cloud Platform. Any hint is appreciated.
We have an existing eclipse RCP application that works as a standalone product. At a high level, this product is used to configure a image specification using its UI and we can export a sample Image based on these configuration.
Now we are developing another web application that has several modules and one module of it is to develop something that our eclipse RCP application does.
Just to provide a QUICK integration of the RCP application for demo purpose, I plan to run the RCP application separately in the server machine and expose its static functionality as a RESTful webservice. So the module shall make a RESTful call to the RCP application.
Now just to begin with I tried to embed a jetty server for hosting the REST service during the start of RCP application like below
But the thing is after the Jetty server is started I am not able to access the TestWebService using the path i configured. So I am confused if this is the right approach to have a RESTful service inside a RCP application. Please note that iam able to hit the server with http://localhost:1002, but not the service.
Following is the console log when i hit on http://localhost:1002/hello/test:
It's a really weird architecture you're experimenting with.
I mean to write an RCP-application which listens on a port and offers REST services on it; this could lead to further obstacles.
Instead I would seperate it into two software artifacts: an RCP-app and a web-application (.war).
You could extract a business-logic jar (It can be an OSGi plug-in if necessary) contaning your image manipulation logic.
Then include this plug-in/.jar as a dependency in the webapp and offer out it's functionalities thru a Web-container (Tomcat, GlassFish, etc.)
So your other (third) application will connect to the Web-services offered by this .war file.
opt.1) If you need a single running instance (because of database or other shared resource) then your RCP-app will have to use this REST service too.
opt.2) If not then simple compile the .jar/plug-in containing the business-logic into your RCP-app.
I have a kind of a "giant" web service built with SOAP, EJB 2.1 and we use BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1 as IDE.
It is a critical web service, used by different countries and it access more than 15 data sources to generate a XML with some information.
We want to migrate the application to use a better IDE for development like Eclipse, and we also want to use a dependency managment tool like maven and add a dependency injection framework like Spring.
The project is divided in a main web service project and some other project with EJB 2.1 used to extract information of some data sources.
What would be the best way to migrate this project, without breaking the interface(wsdl) of the web service?
Any help or hint is welcome.
How to make Django projects packaged as desktop applications?
I found some tutorials, but is there any solution as DjangoKit , for Linux and Windows?
List of related tutorials :
Deploying a Django app on the desktop
Django application as a stand-alone desktop application
This project started when I needed to
distribute a self contained user
installable Windows demo of a Django
application
dbuilder.py
Edit: Another alternative is Super Zippy, it takes a Python package and its pure Python dependencies and transforms them all into a single executable file.
You might want to look into Appcelerator's (link) Titanium Desktop for developing web apps on the desktop.
It's fully cross platform, Linux, Mac OSX, Windows.
It's supports running Python, Ruby, and JavaScript code in your application all concurrently interacting with one anther in one application. It's pretty sweet.
(Full disclosure, I'm the founder of ToDesktop. I think this is a helpful answer though)
If your Django app is already deployed as a web app then you can wrap the web app in Electron.
If the web app does not need to be distributed to users (i.e.. you don't need an installer or code signing) then Nativefier is great for that. It's free and open-source. I made a Nativefier guide here.
If you're distributing to users then you'll probably want an installer and code signing and auto-updates for Electron. ToDesktop will do all that for you without any coding or configuration.
There's a comparison of the two here.
I have an application that is written with the NetBeans Platform 5.5. I'm having trouble consuming a web service.
If I create a Java SE application in NetBeans, I can add a web service reference without problem.
Since my application is using the NetBeans Platform, many of the menu choices change. So, I cannot figure out how to add a reference to the web service. I've googled this topic a number of ways but haven't found any pages that deal with consuming a service through the platform. They all talk about consuming a service with a Java SE application.
Changing the application from the Platform architecture is not an option.
Here is a good tutorial for setting up a Feed Reader on NetBeans Platform. It covers some of the configuration issues for using web services
Blog with an entry about making a web services client
I'd be happy to try and give you a more specific answer if you can give information about the service you want to access.
Found this:
Create web service and client using this tutorial
Create library wrapper module for web service client (you don't need to include JAX-WS libs, only your client jar)
In your wrapper module add following dependencies (important):
JAX-WS 2.1 API
JAX-WS 2.1 and JAXB 2.1 Library (for this you have to check Show Non-API Modules in "Add Module Dependency" window)
If you try to build module after these steps it will fail telling you that your module is not friend of "path-to-netbeans"/java2/modules/org-netbeans-modules-websvc-jaxws21.jar.
Right click on JAX-WS 2.1 and JAXB 2.1 Library and choose Edit. Select Implementation Version.
