wuff-skeleton

This project is a skeleton for an application based on e(fx)clipse. The build process is handled by Gradle and Wuff

Please note that the sample works on Linux and Windows machines only. Java 8 is required.

There are two ways to use this skeleton:

##Out-of-the-box Checkout the project (or download and extract the zip file) to a directory of your choice. In that directory, execute the gradlew run command to start the application. The script will download and install gradle in that directory and, after that, it will start downloading the efxclipse update site. This is done only once and can take several minutes (normally around 3-5).

To generate an executable *.bat run the gradlew build command. The *.bat will be generated in wuff-skeleton\build\output\pl.cmil.wuff.skeleton-... directory.

##From scratch This approach is only valid if you already have gradle or a gradle wrapper.

The scaffolding code in this repository can be generated from this build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
		jcenter()
		maven { url 'http://dl.bintray.com/mcmil/maven' }
		maven { url 'http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local' }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.akhikhl.wuff:wuff-plugin:0.0.14'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'org.akhikhl.wuff.efxclipse-app'

wuff {
    selectedEclipseVersion = 'efxclipse-1.2'
}

products {
  nativeLauncher = false
}

Remember to set a constant name for the root project in settings.gradle, e.g.:

rootProject.name='pl.cmil.wuff.skeleton'

Without it, the project may not start when moved to another directory.

After those files are created, run gradle scaffold in the same directory. I twil create an Application.e4xmi file, standard maven-like directory structure an a plugin.xml. At this point you can simply run gradle run

##Notes

There is a known issue with cleaning the project - the build is cleared but an error is thrown. It does not happen in a multimodular one.

The sample can be imported to any IDE - Eclipse, IntelliJ Idea or you can stick to VIM if you like.

For IntelliJ Idea users, there is a plugin which boosts the development process: https://github.com/mcmil/wuff-intellij-plugin
