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

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

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

See my PR.

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.

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

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.
