E4/Running the demos

e4 Photo Demo

Instructions moved to E4/UI/Running_the_photo_demo.

SWT for Flex

Instructions moved to E4/SWT/Running_the_demos.

SWT for Dojo

Note - these instructions are old, not sure if they still apply.

Common setup between the two SWT demos:

1. Create new Eclipse Workspace.
2. see Project Set Files for info on how to get the files for org.eclipse.e4.swt.releng
3. Import the 'e4.swt.as.psf' file into your workspace. (Just click "OK" when it asks for "compatible locations".)
4. Change "Preferences -> Java -> Compiler -> Building -> Build path problems -> Circular dependencies" to Warning.

Steps specific to Dojo:

1. Copy .classpath_dojo to .classpath in both the org.eclipse.swt and org.eclispse.swt.e4 projects. (Note that in order to see the classpath files, you have to either do this in the Navigator view or turn off the resources filter in the Packages Explorer by clicking on the drop down arrow menu in the top right hand corner of the package explorer, selecting Filters and unchecking *.resources).
2. Download the Google Web Toolkit for Linux (use version 1.4.62 for now). Note it is important to get the Linux download regardless of the OS you are running on.
3. Download the Dojo Toolkit (use version 1.1.1).
4. Create a Java Project, call it "DojoResources".
5. Create 2 subfolders, named "public" and "gwt". In the "public" subfolder, create another folder named "dojo".
6. Extract the Dojo download and import the folders into the "dojo" folder. Your directory structure should look like this:

public
--dojo
	-- dijit
	-- dojo
	-- dojoX
	-- util

1. Extract the GWT download and import "gwt-dev-linux.jar" and "gwt-user.jar" into the "gwt" folder. Your directory structure should look like this:

gwt
-- gwt-dev-linux.jar
-- gwt-user.jar

1. Copy the dojoLib.gwt.xml file from org.eclipse.swt.e4\Eclipse SWT PI\dojo\build to the root of the DojoResources project.
2. To build the example, run the script org.eclipse.swt.e4.examples\dojo\build.xml. To run the script, right click and select Run As>Ant Build... Click on the JRE tab and select "Run in the same JRE as the workspace".
3. Copy the index.html file from /org.eclipse.swt.e4/Eclipse SWT PI/dojo/build/ to the generated controlexample folder (org.eclipse.swt.e4.examples/dojo/bin/www/controlexample).
4. Replace the following line in the index.html file :

<!-- <script src="NAME_OF_GWT_XML_FILE.nocache.js" language="javascript"></script> -->

with this:

<script src="controlexample.nocache.js" language="javascript"></script>

1. Open the index.html file in a browser (embeded or system one).

Scriptable Workbench

*** Due to project refactoring (moving from the incubator to a fully fledged project), these instructions are out of date and the demos are broken. We are working to fix this situation. Please stay tuned.

Common setup between the two Platform UI demos:

1. Download 3.4.
2. Install XULRunner 1.8.1.3 as described in the SWT FAQ.
3. Create a new workspace. This is important - the demo will not run with the SWT projects from above.
4. Download the "Mozilla XPCom for Java" feature from this update site: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.8.1.3/contrib/eclipse/
5. Import the ui-e4Set.psf file.

Running the "Scriptable Workbench" demo:

1. Run an inner Eclipse.
2. Open the "Workbench Model" view by using the Quick Access (CTRL+3) and entering "Workbench Model"

Note that this is experimental code, and many things in the inner Eclipse don't work. Try and play around by changing and running the Javascript code in the right pane of the Model View.

Eclipse Web Client

*** Due to project refactoring (moving from the incubator to a fully fledged project), these instructions are out of date and the demos are broken. We are working to fix this situation. Please stay tuned.

Common setup between the two Platform UI demos:

1. Download 3.4.
2. Install XULRunner 1.8.1.3 as described in the SWT FAQ.
3. Create a new workspace. This is important - the demo will not run with the SWT projects from above.
4. Download the "Mozilla XPCom for Java" feature from this update site: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.8.1.3/contrib/eclipse/
5. Import the ui-e4Set.psf file.

Running the "Eclipse Web Client" demo:

1. Run an inner Eclipse.
2. Create a new project (for example, the RCP Mail project)
3. In Firefox 2, go to about:config and change the value of network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server to 4 (default is 2).
4. Start Firefox 2 and point it at http://localhost:8000/e4/files/workbench.html.

Note that the demo only runs in Firefox.
