Hi,
I prototyped an Eclipse plugin that can be run in command line (headless
mode) to automate the configuration of Eclipse workspace for Tuscany SCA
Java development. Potentially, it can be integrated with some scripts to
produce the workspace after the maven build.
You can install it from:
http://people.apache.org/~rfeng/tuscany/eclipse-workspace-updatesite/
To develop Tuscany SCA using Eclipse, we are required to configure the
workspace as follows:
* Create a classpath variable M2_REPO that points to the maven local
repository
* Set the target platform from the target definition file generated by
Tuscany distribution
* Import the projects from the directory where Tuscany source code is
checked out and built
* Refresh and build the Eclipse workspace
All these steps only work manually with Eclipse UI. It's time consuming and
error-prone.
With this tiny Eclipse application, we can now confiure an Eclipse workspace
on a command line. For example, you can run the following command:
On Windows:
eclipsec -nosplash -data c:\workspace\tuscany -application
org.apache.tuscany.eclipse.workspace.WorkspaceConfigurator -source.root
C:\tuscany\sca-java-2.x\trunk -target.definition
C:\tuscany\sca-java-2.x\trunk\distribution\all\target\features\tuscany-distribution-all\tuscany-pde35.target
On Linux:
eclipse -nosplash -data /workspace/tuscany -application
org.apache.tuscany.eclipse.workspace.WorkspaceConfigurator -source.root
/tuscany/sca-java-2.x/trunk -target.definition
/tuscany/sca-java-2.x/trunk/distribution/all/target/features/tuscany-distribution-all/tuscany-pde35.target
Feedbacks are welcome.
Thanks,
Raymond
