API Tooling

  • generate a snapshot for a particular set of source code (JARs or bundles)
  • compare another source set with snapshot and get 3 summary pages
    • breaking changes
    • non-breaking changes
    • version number checks

Application Model

The Eclipse platform implements an application container that is based on the OSGi Application Admin Service specification. This demo shows how Eclipse applications can be managed using the OSGi Application Admin Service specification

The Projects

The projects for the demo are stored in the Equinox Incubator on the main Eclispe CVS repository (dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse). All projects are under the directory equinox-incubator/demos/app-model/.

org.eclipse.equinox.examples.app.selector

This project provides a simple RCP application that is uses the application admin service to manage the other applications installed on the platform.

org.eclipse.equinox.examples.sharedisplay

This project provides a simple headless application that sets up a shared display that other applications can share when they are launched.

example SWT applications

Each of the following projects provide an example SWT application that can be launched using the application admin service

  • org.eclipse.swt.examples.addressbook
  • org.eclipse.swt.examples.browserexample
  • org.eclipse.swt.examples.clipboard
  • org.eclipse.swt.examples.graphics
  • org.eclipse.swt.examples.paint

How to Run

There are two ways to run the demo.

  1. Using the application selector UI
  2. Using the headless share display application

Using the application selector

This approach launches an RCP application called application selector. The application selector displays the following information about each SWT example application installed on the platform:

  1. The application name
  2. If the application is enabled.
  3. The application state (inactive, starting, running, stopping)
Start an Application

Select an application to start from the application selector then use the context menu to run the start operation. Note that the start operation will be disabled if the application state is not currently inactive This will cause the application to launch. You should notice the state of the application move to running and the application will become disabled. Disabled indicates that the application is no longer available for launch. This is because all applications in this demo have a cardinality of 1. Try launching other applications at the same time. You will be able to launch all applications that are enabled at the same time.

Stop an Application

Select an application to stop from the application selector then use the context menu to run the stop operation. Note that the stop operation will be disabled if the application is state is currently inactive. This will cause the application to stop. You should notice the state of the application move to inactive.

Stop the Application Selector

If the application selector is stopped while one or more of the example SWT applications are running then it will stop all of them before exiting the application selector.

How it Works

Server-Side OSGi

  • JSPs - there are some demos that come with Tomcat and Struts
  • Embedded in app server
  • show the dev scenario - easy to use
