Corrie framework

Origins

Originally developed inside CAPSA the origins of Corrie lies in a simple idea : have a standard build framework that the company could easily reuse to create new software/web applications without having to go from scratch again. After successfully deploying two applications, I got the authorization to open-source it from the IT director.

Framework features

For now CORRIE has basic features :

• UI components relying on Eclipse RAP 3.1 features
• Ability to connect to multiple database (depending on the user implementation)
• Extensible Graphics library (for now just includes chartJS graphics + Funnel)
• Multi-language management.
• Excel read/write thanks to the POI library
• Files downloads
• Built in user session management
• Constants management (to avoid overloading the database)
• Basic menu layout
• Built-in resource management (Pictures, colors...)
• Built-in database table editor
• Built-in user manager

Corrie also heavily uses OSGI services in order to regroup some datas or make some operations easier. OSGI services overview

##Step by steps tutorials

As said before, all these tutorials assume that you have a basic understanding of Eclipse RCP concepts (plugin creation, extension point declaration and) and Java programming.
