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 ideopens an IDE for manipulating this project.gradlew assemble.allcreates native launchers for win/mac/linux in thedeploy/buildfolder.
