We already created first RCP app. Now we configure RCP products.

Add product definitions

Edit the file "build.gradle", insert code:

products {
  product platform: 'linux', arch: 'x86_32'
  product platform: 'linux', arch: 'x86_64'
  product platform: 'windows', arch: 'x86_32'
  product platform: 'windows', arch: 'x86_64'
  product platform: 'macosx', arch: 'x86_64'
  archiveProducts = true
}

Here we define 5 products: 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Linux, 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Windows, and 64-bit version for Mac OS X. Optional archiveProducts flag instructs wuff to archive the generated products. Both Linux and Mac OS X versions will be archived as .tar.gz, Windows versions - as .zip. The default value of archiveProducts is false.

Compile

Invoke on command line: gradle build.

Check: there must be 4 products in "tutorials/MyRcpApp/build/output" folder.

Check: each product must contain "MyRcpApp" bundle in "plugins" subfolder and in "configuration/config.ini".

Run

We can run each product on corresponding OS and architecture. On Windows platform we start application via .bat-file, on other platforms we start application via .sh-file.

Attention: do not try to run the generated product on a "wrong" OS or "wrong" architecture. Linux product won't start on Windows. 64-bit product won't start on 32-bit JRE.

The example code for this page: examples/RcpApp-2.
