Revision as of 09:57, 27 March 2009 by Nicolas.richeton.gmail.Com (Talk | contribs) (How to generate the Nebula Example application as Webstart)
This page explains how to generate the Nebula Example application as Webstart
Contents
Get the sources
features/org.eclipse.nebula.examples_feature features/org.eclipse.nebula.examples_webstart org.eclipse.swt.nebula.examples + all nebula widget projects
Create necessary files
- Add startup.jar to org.eclipse.nebula.examples_webstart/rootfiles - Create keystore for signing the jars : keytool -genkey -alias nebulawebstart -keyalg RSA -keystore nebula.keystore
Generate Webstart
Export org.eclipse.nebula.examples_webstart from eclipse feature export wizard.
Select :
- Destination - Package as individual jars - Sign the JAR archives (fill keystore informations) - Create JNLP manifest (fill site URL site and JRE version : 1.4+)
Publish Webstart
(You need to publish all files to the right site URL before testing.)
- Copy plugins, features, startup.jar and nebula.jnlp to the target site. - Launch nebula.jnlp.
Known problems
- We get a null pointer exception when starting from webstart. - startup.jar comes from org.equinox.launcher, but I'm not sure if using only the jar is enough.
