Laboratoire ICAR » Plateforme TXM

To fix the current mac os x monterey+ display bug, we need to upgrade eclipse to several versions. The Groovy plugin is not working correctly with the last Eclipse version (2022-12) so we'll use the 2022-09 build

Since Eclipse 4.6 (TXM-0.8.2 use eclipse 4.9), the PDE build (used since for TXM 0.8.2) is no more used to build Eclipse: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse/releases/4.6.0/review and build errors appears more often.

The current way is to use Tycho: https://wiki.eclipse.org/A_Brief_Overview_of_Building_at_Eclipse#Preferred_way_of_doing_multi-platform_builds

Notes:

• Eclipse RCP 2022-09 works with Java 11+ -> TXM libraries need to be updated
• Tycho will ensure better build and has more build tests -> e.g it does not allow any cycle in the plugins dependencies
• use the Tycho polyglot extension to avoid maintaining Eclipse&Tycho build configuration files -> the Eclipse configuration files contains all the information

New bugs since migration to Eclipse&Java:

• CQP annotation: the JPA tables are not built

  • fixed the Eclipse plugin persistence lib was too old
• The surrogate cleaning step fails in the Cleanfile class:

      def static surrogate_punct = "[\\p{P}&&[^\\u0001-\\uFFFF]]" 
      def static surrogate_punct_reg = /$surrogate_punct/
      def static SURROGATE = "_" 
      def static SURROGATE_PUNCT = "☒" 
      def str = "..." 
      str = str.replaceAll(surrogate_reg, SURROGATE); // replace all surrogate chars
      str = str.replaceAll(surrogate_punct_reg, SURROGATE_PUNCT); // replace all surrogate punct chars
  

• Tycho found a dependency cycle between the org.txm.ahc.feature and the org.txm.annotation.feature
  • fixed the org.txm.rcp.feature was including features also included in the product
