| 36 | = Trying out the RCP, a experience report = |
| 37 | by Leo Sauermann and Benny Horak |
| 38 | |
| 39 | We started by downloading Eclipse 3.2 and slavishly following the Hello World Tutorial here: |
| 40 | * http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-RCP-1/tutorial1.html |
| 41 | |
| 42 | ok, all worked, the empty "hello World" deployment thingy with .exe file and so on weights 7MB. wuff but ok. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Then Leo decided to rename the packages from "semanticdesktop" to "com.example.semanticdesktop" and that was the last time we saw our hello world. shoots, restart. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | After Benny got the control, he changed the plugins first window from title "Hello World" to "Semantic Desktop". |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Hours later.... |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ok, we try now the "mail demo" and extend it with a RDF view showing hte pimo tree. |
| 51 | First problem: we don't want to import openrdf directly but instead import it as OSGI bundle (woa, cool). |
| 52 | Hm, the best approach seems the wizard "plugin from existing jar archives". |
| 53 | that generates useful output. |
