Add JFace

[TheLQ]

I've never used JFace, whats JARs are required to get it working? Where can I find them? Is OSGI required?

It should be easy to modify the scrape script for this

[msangel]

Good example of Jface maven repo is:
http://www.jabylon.org/maven/ (I have no relation in any way to this server, just found it during googling)

And this is my dependency tree in project (note: x64 platform):

[INFO] +- org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32:x86_64:jar:3.102.0:compile
[INFO] \- org.eclipse.jface:text:jar:3.8.101:compile

[INFO]    \- org.eclipse:jface:jar:3.9.0:compile (version selected from constraint [3.5.0,4.0.0))

I know, my tree start root from org.eclipse.jface:text:jar and contain some additional jface dependencies.

Hope this help.

What JAR files are needed is explained here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/JFace#Using_JFace_outside_the_Eclipse_platform

I guess it is not as easy as SWT because one seems to have to extract the necessary files from an Eclipse download. One probably has to scrape first http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ to get at the drops and then scrape http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.5-201506032000/ to download a Platform Runtime Binary.

Thanks for your efforts with SWT.

[bpieber]

I used the following bash script on OS X to download the necessary JAR files. Hope this helps.

#!/bin/bash
DROP_NAME=R-4.5-201506032000
FILE_NAME=eclipse-platform-4.5-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz
curl "http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/eclipse/eclipse/downloads/drops4/$DROP_NAME/$FILE_NAME" -o $FILE_NAME
tar -xf $FILE_NAME */org.eclipse.core.commands_*.jar
tar -xf $FILE_NAME */org.eclipse.equinox.common_*.jar
tar -xf $FILE_NAME */org.eclipse.jface_*.jar
tar -xf $FILE_NAME */org.eclipse.osgi_*.jar
mv Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins/* .
rm -rf Eclipse.app

JFace is not updated in above repo

http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.eclipse.scout.sdk.deps%7Corg.eclipse.jface%7C3.11.0.v20150602-1400%7Cjar

[545ch4]

I added the jars mentioned my @bpieber and created the poms. Just add

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.jface</groupId>
  <artifactId>org.eclipse.jface</artifactId>
  <version>3.11.0</version>
</dependency>

to your dependencies at pom.xml and add my fork to the list of repositories...

<repository>
  <id>545ch4</id>
  <url>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/545ch4/maven-eclipse.github.io/master/maven</url>
</repository>

See my PR.

[545ch4]

Anyone tried?

[bbarker]

@545ch4 Seems to work for me - thanks!

[bmarwell]

Any update on having jface in this repository?

[craigsumner]

I'd vote for this.

[bmarwell]

👍

You can use my fork:

    <url>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichielVanderlee/maven-eclipse.github.io/master/maven</url>
</repository>

I've added all other eclipse jars for 4.5.2 and up. This includes JFace

[oeil]

Hi guys, no news about having a jface repo (or include jface jars in this repo) for standalone app using SWT and JFACE?

[albertus82]

Hi @oeil, please take a look at Central Repository: org/eclipse/platform and Eclipse Neon.2 is on Maven Central for more info.

[oeil]

@albertus82 awesome! thanks

[Abbreviation-g]

Hi @oeil, please take a look at Central Repository: org/eclipse/platform and Eclipse Neon.2 is on Maven Central for more info.

thank you! that's the true answer。

[Abbreviation-g]

Hi @oeil, please take a look at Central Repository: org/eclipse/platform and Eclipse Neon.2 is on Maven Central for more info.

but how to use it?

[albertus82]

but how to use it?

Try browsing https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.eclipse.platform

[Abbreviation-g]

but how to use it?

Try browsing https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.eclipse.platform

this is my pom.xml
<dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.jface</artifactId> <version>3.15.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <repositories> <repository> <id>swt-jface</id> <name>repo1</name> <url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url> </repository> </repositories>

but it coms several errors, like this:
"No versions available for org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.aarch64:jar:[3.105.2,3.105.2] within specified range"

[Abbreviation-g]

Finally, i found out i have to add 'exclusions' to 'dependency'. The pom.xml just like this:
<dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64</artifactId> <version>3.110.0</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.aarch64</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.arm</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>
<dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.jface</artifactId> <version>3.15.0</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.aarch64</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.arm</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.swt</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>

And the repository setting is:
<repository> <id>repo1</id> <name>repo1</name> <url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url> </repository>

[stephan-herrmann]

BTW, feel free to check this presentation on how maven can be tweaked to handle swt dependencies in a platform independent way - without any exclusions (slides - in particular #29 & #30). I know that approach is unusual, but so was its goal.
