eEMF on eRCP [message #398873]

Hi,

I have come across Ed Merk's blog posting on getting EMF up and running
on eRCP. I've downloaded the attachments from the related bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215378 and had a go
getting things to run, with no success. The posted code is a bit old,
so there is no great surprise there.

What I was wondering is if there is any recent activity or interest in
getting EMF to run on eRCP? Along with EMF on RAP, this would be a
great addition to the ecosystem.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
Unfortunately I have not seen any activity around mobile EMF since Ed's original post. EMF would be a good technology to enable for eRCP however size is a concern so probably it would be an optional part of the eRCP runtime for the time being,

Stephen,

I've not done anything with that patch since the initial effort. I just
don't have the capacity to maintain more stuff so there would need to be
folks willing to make a long term commitment to support and maintain
what's needed... RAP especially has changed quite a bit, i.e., more of
what EMF needs is supported now so less of the framework needs to be
deleted...

I am afraid eRCP has not taken in too much. Unlike RAP size is a major
issue for eRCP.

Ed, I really hope to get some time again to play again with EMF+RAP.
Using the EMF runtime in RAP is no problem at all (see our RAP/E4[1]
effort - the whole workbench is modeled and also works as RAP
application). The only part left is to get RAP to a point that all
generated editors etc work out of the box on RAP. With the new cell
editor support this gets even more interesting.
As I said, I'd be really interested in that topic but as don't have the
time either. But in my eyes this is a great topic for contributors.
For contributors, see also

Benjamin,

Yes, I think the EMF RAP combination is very interesting and with the
excellent progress on supporting things like cell editors leaves very
few issues outstanding. I do hope to find some time during the new
release cycle for this, but as you say, it's an excellent opportunity
for community contribution too...

Cheers,
Ed
