Toast/RAP

In order to track and provision the existing vehicles, Toast includes a rich user interface based on the Remote Application Platform.

Install RAP Tooling

• The RAP Tooling contains the runtime and some tooling that eases RAP development.
• Help → Install New Software
• Add Update Site: http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/1.2/update
• Check "Rich Ajax Platform SDK (RAP)", version 1.2
• Restart Eclipse after the installation is done
• On the Welcome page, click "Rich Ajax Platform (RAP)"
• On the next page, click “Install Target Platform”

Setup the Toast workspace

• Connect to the repo at ":pserver:dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology" using a login name of "anonymous" and no password and navigate to"/org.eclipse.examples/toast"
• Checkout the “Toast” project
• Use toast-pserver.psf to import all projects
• Close all projects in the "Client" working set
• Open "Toast/toast-rap.target" and set this as your active target platform
  • This target includes several other frameworks besides RAP (eg. EMF, EclipseLink )

Run Toast with different designs

• Run → Run Configurations → Toast RAP UI
• Be sure to adjust the paths on the “Arguments” tab to match your environment
• On tab “Main”, set the “Servlet Name” to “rap”
• On tab “Main”, set the “Entry Point” to “toast”
• On tab “Bundles”, make sure that your configuration is sane by pressing the “Validate Bundles” button
• Be sure to include the bundle “org.eclipse.rap.design.example”
• Launch the application with the “Run” button

The launcher will open up a browser window with the Toast demo running without any design. You can launch Toast with different designs by changing the attribute of the servlet name to one of the following

• rap (standard design)
• business
• fancy (only with 1.3 RAP runtime)
