For those of you who have been working with the ECF Remote Services JAX-RS Jersey Client, I hope you’ve been finding it useful. Of course, feedback is always appreciated! If you’re wondering what this client is all about, here are some links to my previous posts: Eclipse RCP and REST – An Introduction Eclipse RCP… Continue reading Eclipse RCP and REST – Updated start levels for newest Jersey Client release

Testing Eclipse RCP applications with the Mockito JUnit 5 extension
In an earlier post I showed how to add Mockito to Eclipse target definitions. This allows plug-in developers to write and run Mockito-based unit tests both inside the Eclipse IDE and in Maven Tycho builds. There was, however, one missing piece to this functionality – the ability to run tests using the Mockito JUnit 5… Continue reading Testing Eclipse RCP applications with the Mockito JUnit 5 extension
Including Maven artifacts in an Eclipse RCP target platform
One of the most difficult issues facing Eclipse RCP developers has been how to consume third-party libraries. We often want to use JAR files not available as OSGi plug-ins (missing OSGi metadata) or that are not available in a p2 repository. So far, our options have included: Accessing a JAR file in Eclipse Orbit. For… Continue reading Including Maven artifacts in an Eclipse RCP target platform

Adding support for Mockito to an Eclipse target definition
In my previous post I showed how to add JUnit support to Eclipse target definitions. This allows plug-in developers to write and run unit tests (both regular and in-container) using all of the tools available in the Eclipse IDE. I had a request to show how to add Mockito to the mix, so here it… Continue reading Adding support for Mockito to an Eclipse target definition
Modifying an Eclipse target definition to support JUnit
The Eclipse IDE has great tooling for writing and running JUnit tests. For most Java developers this tooling works without any issues, but things get a bit more complicated when working with Eclipse Plug-ins or OSGi bundles in general. The reason for this is that plug-in/bundle developers, including most Eclipse RCP developers, will be using… Continue reading Modifying an Eclipse target definition to support JUnit

Eclipse RCP and REST – JAX-RS Extensions
This is a continuation of a series of blog posts demonstrating the use of the ECF Remote Services JAX-RS Jersey Client within an Eclipse RCP application. The previous posts are: Eclipse RCP and REST: An Introduction Eclipse RCP and REST: Making Asynchronous Calls In this post I’ll demonstrate how to use standard JAX-RS extensions in… Continue reading Eclipse RCP and REST – JAX-RS Extensions
Eclipse RCP and REST – Making Asynchronous Calls
In my last blog post I described how to access REST services from an Eclipse RCP application using the ECF Remote Services JAX-RS Jersey Client Provider. It turns out that with a few minor changes we can also access these REST services asynchronously. I’ll demonstrate here how to modify the SpaceX Launch Service example to… Continue reading Eclipse RCP and REST – Making Asynchronous Calls
Eclipse RCP and REST – An Introduction
My current area of interest is in exploring how modular user interfaces, and Eclipse RCP in particular, can help us leverage the benefits of microservices. Modular UIs offer a lot of possibilities in this area, and I’ll have much more to say about this in the coming months. As a starting point, however, we need… Continue reading Eclipse RCP and REST – An Introduction
