ozb-xscalawt

Fork of coconutpalm's XScalaWT project which is a Scala DSL for Eclipse RCP and SWT applications.

This fork mainly adds missing build functions for some UI elements.

Build

While the original project uses Maven 3 to build, I have changed the build to use sbt.

This project relies on various eclipse libraries which are not available in public repositories (as far as I know). So you have to install them in your local repository. To this end, I have created the install-eclipse-jars task that downloads and install the required libs in the local ivy repository.

The install-eclipse-jars task depends on another lib : ozb-scala-utils as declared in the plugins.sbt file

Steps:

1. modify build.sbt and adapt the url of the swt lib to your platform (Mac OS X by default)

   /** URL of the Eclipse update site */
   eclipseUpdateSite := "http://eclipse.ialto.org/eclipse/updates/3.7/R-3.7.2-201202080800/"
   
   /** URL to the swt lib to compile against (adapt it to your platform, mine is Mac OS X) */
   swtNativeUrl <<= eclipseUpdateSite { _ + "plugins/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx_3.7.2.v3740f.jar" }
   
   

2. run sbt and install eclipse jars

   > install-eclipse-jars withSources=true

3. compile and publish as usual

Using in other projects

Add a dependency in your build.sbt

"org.ozb" %% "ozb-xscalawt" % "0.1"
