Now we'll go a step further and in particular we will see how to: make some little tweaks to make it easier the development customize the application Internal or External browser? In order to test the application you can use both the internal browser (the one that opens inside Eclipse IDE by default when you launch the application) or any other browser (external) you wish, as far as you point to the same URL.

EMF Parsley: a web application in a few steps

Introduction With EMF Parsley you can quickly build and easily maintain a web application. Let's see how. Indeed Parsley allows you to build both desktop and web applications from the same code (single-sourcing), leveraging on Eclipse RCP platform and using RAP for the web, but for the purpose of this article we will focus only on the web side. Setting up the environment First of all ensure you have a recent Eclipse IDE installed and running on a brand new workspace.

Introduction We've already wrote in the past about RAP framework (see article Single sourcing with Eclipse RAP).

Also the name, RAP, does not mean Rich Ajax Platform anymore, but now stands for Remote Application Platform. In practice it is now a platform to develop modular applications for desktop, browser and mobile. In this article we will see how to prepare the needed environment for the creation of our first web [...]

It has been a five days of intensive and engaging learning time, alternating slides presentation for showing the concepts to live-coding from-scratch examples. Further, after every presentation, the participants had the chance to practice the just learned concepts, ask, share doubts and approaching techniques. Since the very first moments it emerged how powerful is this new development platform; here are some among the main advantages, with respect to the previous 3.x way. Application model [...]

First steps with Eclipse e4

In June 2012 a very important thing happened in the Eclipse world: e4 platform replaced the great and long lasting 3.x version , which started in 2004 with the release of 3.0 version. During these eight years great progress have been made. In fact Eclipse has become matchless both as an IDE and as a platform. Not to mention moreover that it is completely Open Source and with a particularly "commercially friendly" (EPL) license! e4 platform is kind of a revolution with respect of the previous version.

In the previous article Single sourcing with Eclipse RAP we have seen how to develop an Eclipse project and then run it both as a Desktop (RCP) Application an as a Web (RAP) Application. Now we will see how to go further and develop a database Application with the same dual approach. We will use EMF and Teneo for this, in the same way showed in the series of tutorials "From Model to Persistence" at page EMF Development. In the following instructions we must make a clear distinction between installing some feature into the IDE or into the Target Platform [...]
