Running E4 on RAP
Running the E4 as web application without touching the code? Read on :)
E4 Contacts Demo
E4 Photo Demo
Set up the target
You need:
- RAP 1.2 Runtime
- EMF 2.4.2 Runtime
- org.eclipse.core.resources
- org.eclipse.core.filesystem
- org.eclipse.equinox.ds
- org.eclipse.equinox.util
Get the source
Use the team project set and import the projects. The psf includes
- RAP runtime bundles from the e4_experimental branch
- additional RAP bundles for new features (IApplication support, Nebula, ..)
- original e4 runtime + demos
As with 0.9 the platform introduced a custom widget (the ETabFolder) you need to apply a small patch to (temporary) work around the current implementation. We're currently investigating a solution so we don't need to patch the code. The patch is called .psf to upload it to the wiki - but it's a regular patch file. Just just the Apply Patch wizard or paste the content into the package explorer.
Run the demos
There are two launch configs included ( you need to have the RAP tooling installed in order to use them):
- E4 Photo Demo
- E4 Contacts Demo
RAP e4 experimental branch?
It's a branch for the RAP runtime bundle including several experimental features. Some noteworthy (but still highly experimental) features are:
- SWT resource constructors
- PaintListener / PaintEvents / GC
- Gradient support
- IApplication and product support
Open issues
As already discussed at the e4 summit and several other appointments there are some big challenges involved when you try to bring a regular application to the web. We already listed several of the big blockers on E4/RAP_Integration.
This list only covers some of the more subtle problems (mostly missing API - see also E4/RAP_Integration/RWT_misses_SWT-API).
- bug 201261 [Display] Listener support on Display (Resize-Listener)
- bug 228351 Display#disposeExec() missing
- bug 277689 IApplication support
- bug 279498 Make ImageData and related graphics API publically available
- bug 279655 [CTabFolder] setSimple is missing
