How to setup Eclipse/RAP

Eclipse and Target Platform setup

• Download Eclipse 4.2M5 from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.3M1-201208101300/
• Unpack and run
• Help -> Install New Software -> add new source "RAP 2.0 Tooling" - http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/tools/2.0
• Install "Rich Ajax Platrorm (RAP)" from that source
• Create directory somewhere on file system (I'll use /Users/alk/Documents/RAP)
• Copy com.ibm.icu_4.4.2.v20110823.jar from Eclipse runtime to /Users/alk/Documents/RAP
• Go to Window -> Preferences -> Plugin-in Development -> Target Platform, click "Add", initialize target definition with "Nothing"
• Change name to something like 'RAP 2.0"
• (still in target content editor) Add software site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno, uncheck "Include Required Software" and install "EMF - Eclipse Modeling Framework SDK" (from Modeling)
• Add software site http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/2.6, uncheck "Include Required Software" and install "BIRT Chart Framework" (from BIRT 2.6 Charting SDK)
• Add software site http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/2.0, uncheck "Include Required Software" and install everything
• Add software site http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/1.5/incubator, uncheck "Include Required Software" and install everything
• Add directory /Users/alk/Documents/RAP

Is should be like this:

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

• Install Apache maven from http://maven.apache.org/download.html

• In trunk/src/java, run package.sh (or package.cmd on Windows)

• Import existing projects from trunk/webui/webapp into workspace, it should build fine.

Run Configuration

• Create new Run Configuration (of type "RAP Application")
• Click "browse" and select Servlet Name (nxmc)
• Click "browse" and select Entry Point (org.netxms.webui.core.nxmc)
• Switch to "Bundles" tab, click on "Deselect All"
• Add working set -> add your workspace with all WebUI projects
• Filter for "http.jetty" and select "org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty"
• Filter for "design" and select "org.eclipse.rap.design.example"
• Filter for "console" and select "org.eclipse.equinox.console"
• Filter for "felix*shell" and select orf.apache.felix.gogo.shell
• Clear filter field and click "Add Required Bundles"
• Uncheck "com.ibm.icu.base" - only "com.ibm.icu" must be selected
• Click on Validate
• Apply and Run

If browser complains about too many redirects (seen that on Mac) - just refresh page.

WAR export

• From http://download.eclipsesource.com/~hstaudacher/warproducts/3.7/ software site install "WAR Products (Incubator)"
• Open "nxmc.warproduct" and click on "Export"

Possible fixes if Eclipse acting weird

• Refresh sources
• Clean and rebuild all
• Repeat refresh / clean once more
• Refresh platform (Preferences -> Target Platform -> (select it) -> Reload
• Go to "Edit platform", select each Update site's URL and click on "Update"
