Gradle and Eclipse RCP

Latest version License Apache Changelog Travis CI

This example project demonstrates building an Eclipse RCP application using the following techniques:

  • Dependencies pulled from maven and p2
  • Native launchers for Win/Mac/Linux
  • Automatic OSGi metadata
  • Two versions of the same library (Guava 17 and 18 at the same time)
  • Generate IDE-as-build-artifact

Demo project for the goomph Gradle plugin, also makes heavy use of bnd-platform.

Quickstart

  • gradlew ide opens an IDE for manipulating this project.
  • gradlew assemble.all creates native launchers for win/mac/linux in the deploy/build folder.

High level layout
