Description John Arthorne CLA 2012-06-11 10:50:51 EDT 
I was trying to run the text view example stand-alone on my desktop this morning. The example in its current state in the repository would not work for me. It looks like there is an absolute path in the require.js configuration. When I changed this to a relative path the example worked. It seems to work on orion.eclipse.org though so I don't fully understand why it didn't work locally.

This patch fixed it for me:

Comment 2 Silenio Quarti CLA 2012-06-11 13:05:54 EDT 
The change is good to me. We should not have absolute paths. While at this, we should remove the same path mapping from the following files since they are unnecessary.

minimaleditor.html
embeddededitor.html

John, how do I run the example standalone? Just double-click the HTML in the file explorer?

1) Clone client repository to local machine
2) Copy requirejs folder from org.eclipse.orion.client.core to client.editor.
3) Double-click the example HTML file to open it.

I'm sure you can also run it in an Orion site, I just happened to be working completely offline today so that's how I was doing it.
