Contents
Project Space
- Heng Sin implementation of OSGI is done in another project space under Kenai.
- His version is based on 3.6.0LTS
- It is considered alpha stage as certain issues such as Java Client Webstart and refactoring is pending testing.
- It is due for better use in 2011.
Improvements
- One of the improvements there is the Workflow Editor where boxes look more UML-like.
Backyard Info
- There is something newbie setup experience documented here.
OSGI Roadmap - November 2010
- Hengsin is doing more refactoring to the source in his Kenai repository.
- Callout package is now a separate bundle but Hengsin wants to rewrite it when he can find time later.
- The launching products are separated into 'adempiere-server' and 'adempiere-client'.
- Buckminster, a Maven-like plugin in Eclipse is used to manage the import of plugins and builds.
- The source is launchable from Eclipse for ZKAjax UI and SwingClient.
- Hengsin is trying to release a beta candidate in a month or so.
- Meanwhile Redhuan D. Oon is writing up his own guide and experience as led by Hengsin in his new OSGI update.
- More feedback on tests will be organised and reported in the Kenai project forum.
Note to MacBook users
- Apple Mac OSX has an issue with launching X on 2nd thread and this is solved by removing the -ws ${target.ws} argument in the launch script. (Hengsin)
- When debugging from Eclipse, you may need to hack the Tomcat.server.xml to point to your port 8088, and https to 4443
Preparing Your Eclipse IDE
- You should use the latest Helios version with Equinox and Buckminster plugins udpated.
Getting the Kenai Project into your Eclipse
- Firstly you should have got a HG Clone into your PC from the Mercurial repository.
- In a fresh workspace of Eclipse, you create a new empty EquinoxTarget.platform (via Preferences>Plugin)
- Then Import Projects > Select an import source from Buckminster > Materialize from Buckminster.
- Browse for the URL under the plugin org.adempiere.sdk.feature selecting the adempiere.cquery.
- Eclipse will import from the web all the needed plugins into the new target platform folder you created.
Launching from Eclipse
- Under the Run As Configurations you will see some launch items.
- Select install.app (CLI) or install.console.app (GUI) to set the properties file. This is similar to RUN_setup in ADempiere speak.
- Launch server.product (RUN_Server2.sh in ADempiere speak) to get the Web UI working.
- You now need to access the Web UI using, http://<localhost>:<port>/ without the /admin suffix.
- Launch swingclient.product to get the JavaClient up and running.
Build and deploying binary
There are two binaries or 'products' created from this OSGI project. One is adempiere-server for launching the server-side Web UI service and adempiere-client for launching the Java Client.
Server Side
- Go to the plugin (at your Eclipse Package Explorer) right click at org.adempiere.server-feature
- Select Buckminster > Invoke Action
- Select create.product
- In the Properties file line, select workspace again the same i.e. org.adempiere.server-feature drill down to buckminster.properties (or any other depending on your OS) and you should end up with something like: /Users/red1/Documents/workspace/hengsin~development/org.adempiere.server-feature/buckminster.properties in the field. Give it an OK.
- Press OK to the Buckminster action dialog box and this will take some minutes to compile
- Find under your desktop a buckminster.output folder
- Look for a particular folder that contains adempiere-server folder. (hint: org.adempiere.server_1.0.0-eclipse.feature).
- Put that to your Applications-Home (server-side) location and continue in ADempiere speak.
Client Side
- Go to the plugin (at your Eclipse Package Explorer) right click at org.adempiere.ui.swing-feature
- Select Buckminster > Invoke Action
- Select create.product
- In the Properties file line, select workspace again the same i.e. org.adempiere.ui.swing-feature drill down to buckminster.properties (or any other depending on your OS) and you should end up with something like: /Users/red1/Documents/workspace/hengsin~development/org.adempiere.server-feature/buckminster.properties in the field. Give it an OK.
- Press OK to the Buckminster action dialog box and this will take some minutes to compile
- Find under your desktop a buckminster.output folder
- Look for a particular folder that contains adempiere-client folder. (hint: org.adempiere.ui.swing_1.0.0-eclipse.feature).
- Put that to your Applications-Home (client-side) location and continue in ADempiere speak.
Launching from Binary
adempiere-server
- You should have the following shell or batch executables in your adempiere-server (this is now your ADempiere_Home but server side).
- setup.sh (previously RUN_setup.sh)
- setup-alt.sh (this works better in my case)
- adempiere-server.sh (RUN_server2.sh)
- adempiere-client.sh (RUN_Adempiere.sh)
- console-setup.sh
- You may need to give chmod 777 to your HOME directory first
- When you ./adempiere-server.sh you will get to run the Web UI as http://<localhost>:<port>/
- If it does not run you can within the CLI Terminal window look for OSGI bundle status by keying in 'ss'.
- Look for the bundle number of the org.adempiere.ui or ..zk bundles.
- Key in start <bundle no.> and try the Web UI again.
adempiere-client
- You should have the adempiere.client.sh or .bat in your <ADempiere_Home/client side>
- You just run this shell accordingly similar to the advice for server side.
Issues
- As of today when launching adempiere-client binary i have all the adempiere bundles not resolved and when started will give such The bundle "org.adempiere.ui_1.0.0.v20101116-0531 [58]" could not be resolved. Reason: Missing Constraint: Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6
- There is documentation on this from the web and i will spend some time reading first. - Redhuan D. Oon 13:56, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- This is solved (for MacBook users) by going to your System Preferences > Java > and putting the 1.6 as top of list. So this is solved - Redhuan D. Oon 00:34, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Latest Status
- This project is proven launchable from Eclipse and from binaries. (If it works on a not-so-Java-centric MacBook, it can work anywhere else).
- ZK Ajax UI seems to work as far as any trashing i done so far - new windows, reports, views, accts, JSR223 Rules, etc.
- Java Client works also as above just that the Accounts Viewer definitely get stuck but exitable. (will confirm from a Windows platform later).
- Log file or log tracing has an issue. It stops at the message 'Adempiere Log (CLogConsole)'.
- I have to give a B+ for this project even though it is at alpha stage.
How Do You Score?
Tell me what marks you like to give my documenting work here. I do not expect an A+ but who knows. :)
