Hi Oomph-dev,
One of the team working Ericsson felt a need for a headless use of
Oomph so they developed their own.
As you can see below, these are the reasons they felt a need for this
tool :
"Actually there are several reasons why we developed a different
interface. Right now we are using the oomph CLI as a bootstrapper for
our eclipse installations. What we need to be able to do is to
install/use a specific set of plugins/features depending the version
of the source code in a git repository. So what we do is that we have
the setup files stored in git. The oomph CLI reads those setup files
and installs/starts the corresponding eclipse version.
These requirements lead to the CLI version:
1) Use oomph because of all the rich features.
2) Be able to bootstrap eclipse i.e. if the install exists start
eclipse else install.
3) Be able to force installation of a specific version.
4) Be able to force pool location.
5) Unattended installation
6) Local installation
So far the CLI interface has been well received by tool developers and
the Ericsson community in general. But to cut it short, we the tool
developers/suppliers want to define/manage the installation the user
just triggers it. "

The tool that was developed was based on Oomph core (although the
Oomph 1.2 target was used). It is now fully functional and they asked
our team (we had a dev that made contributions to Oomph in the past)
if they could
contribute that code back to the open source Oomph repository.
Mikael joined the mailing list so he should be able to reply and
comment on the details of the implementation if needed. As for the
implementation itself, it works with calling arguments like this :
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8 -Xms256m -Xmx2048m
-Dheadless.startup=true
-Demca.launcher.console=true
-Doomph.project.streams=dev
-Doomph.product.id=epp.package.jee
-Doomph.product.version=luna
There are other arguments to specify where the p2 bundle/catalog are,
but I'll let Mikael answer those questions, as he's the one that
developed the tool.
Right now the code was updated to build against the latest core from
Oomph, the package names were changed from com.ericsson.* to
org.eclipse.*, but a patch was not pushed yet for review (should be
there soon).
We know it's a lot of code in one patch and that is not a good
practice, but it's a big feature in our opinion, and we would really
like it to be integrated, so we are also aware that there will be lots
of review/changes to be made
in order for the code to be compliant.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, but this was mostly
to give a heads-up on a feature we would really like to contribute to
Oomph.
Best regards
Patrick
