This page explains how to generate the Nebula Example application as Webstart
Contents
Get Eclipse
To generate the webstart example, you'll need the Eclipse Delta pack to support all SWT platforms. Download the archive from Eclipse downloads and add it the your target platform's plug-in locations in Preferences -> Target Platform. Don't copy the plugins and features in your Eclipse installation, this will not work will recent releases (with p2).
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
- 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 - Export for multiplatforms - Sign the JAR archives (fill keystore informations) - Create JNLP manifest (fill site URL site and JRE version : 1.4+)
Press "Next" and select required platforms. Note that when generating for an OS, you had to select ALL architectures(ppc, x86, x86_64), or the application will not start. Then "Finish"
Edit JNLP
Edit nebula.jnlp and set the right name for the equinox launcher (depends of your Eclipse version, look for this file in plugins directory) <jar href="plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar" />
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. (Do it for each platform, this will overwrite some files, but also add each target fragments) - Launch nebula.jnlp.
Known problems
- Can't make it run under linux, even with osgi.ws=gtk.
