Corona's server-side environment supports the execution of multiple servers. These servers are OSGi applications that are (optionally) started when the Corona server is started. Corona provides the main OSGi application used to manage the start/stop lifecycle of the secondary server applications. The following server applications are provided as samples:
- Database Server
- based upon Apache Derby
- Collaboration Server
- based upon ECF generic server
Step 1: Create Plug-in
Assuming you are already familiar with creating plug-in projects within the PDE/IDE...
- Create a new plug-in using the PDE project wizard
- Select File->New->Project
- Expand Plug-in Development
- Select Plug-in Project
- Complete the Plug-in Project dialog, select Next
- Complete the Plug-in Content dialog, select Finish
- ensure the plug-in does not contribute to the UI
- Create dependency upon the org.eclipse.corona plug-in
- Open the plug-in's meta-data via manifest editor
- Select the Dependencies tab
- Add org.eclipse.corona as a required plug-in
- Save the plug-in's meta-data
- This will update the plug-in's classpath needed in the following steps
Step 2: Create OSGi Application
- Within a plug-in project, create an extension to the org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications extension point
- visibility
- set this value specific to your server application
- cardinality
- set this value specific to your server application
- thread
- this must be set to any
- icon
- leave this value blank. server-side applications do not require an icon.
