[cross-project-issues-dev] Oxygen M2 staging repository is complete

[David Williams]

Thanks everyone for your updates. As we ended up, only soa-bpmn2-modeler 
is disabled, and only 5 or 6 projects have "decreasing" feature versions 
(the Eclipse Platform being one of them).  :/


I will promote this repo Friday morning around 10:00 and re-enable the 
Oxygen aggregation builds Friday afternoon.


Thanks again,

Or do you have some reason to believe this would have some impact on 
startup time once the icons are installed?




I do not know a definitive answer, but found some hints. At first I was 
thinking something similar and did some googling for "svg png 
performance" and "does OS cache SVG" and a) did not find much about 
icons, per se, but otherwise seemed to be a lot of out-of-date 
information that I think is not always currently true ... most of it 
browser and webpage focused but (that is, low signal to noise ratio) and 
b) also found some bugs in Firefox's system that had titles such as "SVG 
cache must be invalidated if System theme changes". That, and even 
"scaling" seems like the kind of thing that might effect us. At that 
point I decided "this is complicated" and didn't read further. :)

Generating the icons as part of the build would work, too. However, it
would be nice if this occurred as part of the in-IDE Eclipse build so that
all developers didn't have to install an external build toolchain if they
want to edit icons.

[Stefan Xenos]

What I proposed would occur once, so it would slow down *installation* time
but not startup time. We could show a message along the lines of
"installing icons" to make it clear to the user what's going on.

Or do you have some reason to believe this would have some impact on
startup time once the icons are installed?

Font icons are only useable in a flat design because you only have a solid 
background

[Antoine THOMAS]

Thanks Camille.

Simple question: how text (font) is rendered in Eclipse? I guess the text
is not rendered as bitmap? So if we use a font icon set, like Font Awesome,
it should work and be light.

 What if we bundled SVG files with Eclipse, then on first startup with a
 given resolution we lazily render them to PNGs with the appropriate detail.
 When Eclipse launches, it would use the .PNGs from the cache.

 It could take a really long time for the first launch, but subsequent
 restarts should be fairly quick since it would just be loading .PNGs from
 then on.

Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] How to provide HDPI icons in yourplug-in

[Camille Letavernier]

Hi,

Papyrus provides support for SVG (via Batik), but this is not the main
approach, and it scales poorly. Most of the rendering is done with Draw2d
and a custom CSS interpreter based on E4 CSS. A few SVG images are used on
top of this.

We never managed to get satisfying SVG rendering, with issues in both
performances and end result (some SVG images can't be rendered, or are
incorrectly rendered)

So, not so much to learn from here I'm afraid (at least nothing too
positive :) )

Camille

Yes, this is the key. Version control SVG files, generate icons on build 
and deploy generated stuff.

What if we bundled SVG files with Eclipse, then on first startup with a given 
resolution we lazily render them to PNGs with the appropriate detail. When 
Eclipse launches, it would use the .PNGs from the cache.

It could take a really long time for the first launch, but subsequent restarts 
should be fairly quick since it would just be loading .PNGs from then on.

Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] How to provide HDPI icons in yourplug-in

[Konstantin Komissarchik]

An alternative that would not degrade startup performance is to ship one res 
bmp along with vector files. When an image is referenced initially, use the 
shipped bmp and start a background render job from the vector file. Once render 
completes, cache the result to disk and swap in the correct res image into the 
running instance. This would make Eclipse behave analogous to progressive 
resolution image loading.

Just a thought and I am certainly not in a position to volunteer to implement 
something like this. :)

Maybe we should ask modelling developers? Sirius, Papyrus, Wireframsketcher
... if this is possible to style models with CSS, it is certainly because
the models are in SVG.

BTW, svg is basically a compressed xml file. So it means that we could
version in Git icons and icon sets, if I am right?

Dani, performance, ok, I can understand that, even if many operating system
today are using SVG icons (or vector graphics in general). But footprint?
vector graphic files are very light compared to bitmap, especially if you
consider that you need to generate different sizes for different screen
resolutions. That would help to decrease the footprint of packages.

+1. I would be pleased to welcome the renderer plugin in CBI.

+1 for Antoine proposal.

We in Eclipse Platform collect all our icons in the eclipse.image repo
but I think a shared icon repo would be nice.
In our repo the folder location is designed to allow "copy and paste"
the generated icons to our projects, which helps a lot for adapting
icon changes.

Best regards, Lars

Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] How to provide HDPI icons in your plug-in

Question: would it make sense to create a project for a set of vector icons
like Font Awesome  or Fondation Icon Fonts
, that any
project/package/plugin could use, and of course, improve?

It could of course include accessibility and general purpose icons. It
would be a good companion to the Polarsys Font
.

Also, if the icons are done by a project team, with style guidelines, it
would help to have consistent icons, in Eclipse, in general.

[cross-project-issues-dev] How to provide HDPI icons in your plug-in

[Lars Vogel]

Hi,

the buildship project contact me about how to provide HDPI icons for
there project. As I assume many projects have this question, I post
here the related info.

The general support in Platform is explained here:
https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.6/platform_isv.php#high-dpi-icons

Platform has also a Maven based command line tool to renderer png in
different sizes from svg images. See
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Eclipse4Notes/article.html#providing_hdpi_icons
for some info for that.

Best regards, Lars
