Nebula Examples Webstart

This page explains how to generate the Nebula Example application as Webstart

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
 - Sign the JAR archives (fill keystore informations)
 - Create JNLP manifest (fill site URL  site and JRE version : 1.4+)

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.
- Launch nebula.jnlp.

Known problems

 - This only generates a JNLP for one single platform
