Hi there,
Just to let you know some progress on sigil in terms of self hosting.
I've now managed to get sigil to such a stage where I can build the
eclipse bundles using the apache sigil ivy integration and run them in
eclipse to edit the apache sigil source. I'll write up some docs on
this on the wiki in due course.
This is great. I have not looked at Sigil since the move to Apache.
Now that it is self-hosting I'll check it out.
Thx great to have some feedback, obviously there are still some rough
edges at the moment due to the move and just in general due to time
constraints but hopefully with the code on Apache it will get some
good eyeballing and we can progress it further.
The next thing I'd like to look at is runtime support to allow me to
close the loop and debug sigil using sigil then we should be able to
make rapid progress. It was discussed that the runtime support should
probably be based on the RFC 132 launching api. Just wondering if
anyone can point me in sensible directions in the felix source to go
look into this?
I am curious to know what you mean by this? FWIW, I have committed an
Eclipse PDE OSGi Framework launcher for Felix at the Eclipse
Integration for Karaf project I run here:
http://fusesource.com/forge/projects/EIK
So the idea is to create an Eclipse PDE Framework Launcher hooked into
the Sigil project model that uses the RFC 132 launching api vs a
framework specific mechanism. This would allow sigil to launch any
OSGi framework from this common API. There are some gotcha's here
though - it looks like the equinox 3.5 release and the spec didn't
quite meet - so from my testing so far it looks like equinox is
expecting some framework specific headers that aren't in the spec :-s.
I haven't yet tried the equinox trunk so perhaps this is fixed by now?
Really? Like what? I have used a common launcher to launch both Equinox
and Felix...it was a simple launcher, but it worked.
