Build your EMF Parsley application

Introduction In a previous article we have seen how to create from scratch a web application example with EMF Parsley. 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.

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. If you downloaded the Eclipse Modeling Package then you already have EMF Parsley installed, otherwise you can install it [...]

Web development with Eclipse RAP

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

Single sourcing for databases management with RAP, EMF and Teneo

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 [...]

Single sourcing with Eclipse RAP

An introduction to RAP RAP (Rich Ajax Platform) is the framework that allows you to develop an RCP application an make it available over the network just pointing the browser to a given link. In this article we will see how you can develop an RCP application and launch it both as a desktop as well as a web application. Yes, sure, exactly the same source code! Don't you believe it? Try it yourself. Setup your IDE for RAP The fastest way to get RAP working is downloading the Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers package from page http://www.eclipse.org/downloads [...]
