Description Nicolas Richeton

2009-03-16 06:16:15 EDT

The current Nebula website states that no examples are available at this time (http://www.eclipse.org/nebula/examples.php). But we have an example plugin that can run as a standalone application. 

It would be great to have this example available by webstart on Nebula website. (Already discused on the mailing list if I remember correctly).

A few comments : 
  - This bug should be tagged as 'plan'   (in keyword) to appear in the projet plan
  - This will only be usefull if we can build it nightly. Should we use the same platform that the one for the nighly build ?
  - We will have to sign the jar. Can we use the Eclipse certificate ?
  - Where should the jar be hosted (on download.eclipse.org )?

I can commit the necessary features and jnlp to generate the webstart application (nearly finished), but the above points need answers.

I'm still having a problem.
- I need to add the equinox launcher jar to the webstart projet. Is it OK to add it on CVS ?
- I get an NPE at in the launcher. HashMap.put in basicRun().

Created a wiki page on how to generate the webstart application :

Ok, problem solved, I was building for carbon and running with java 1.6. startup.jar is not needed. I'll update the wiki page and CVS. We are close to have a working webstart example. 
I just need a location to upload all the jars... (can't host this from home :) )

You can try the webstart on http://nricheton.homeip.net/public/nebula/nebula.jnlp   This does not work on linux yet. (see bug 270421. Please don't overload my server (limited bandwith) : I need a location to host this on eclipse.

Wiki page updated. 
App signed with my own certificate.

Webstart is no longer supported by recent Java version, so I close this bug.
