wuff with eclipse-neon - SWT parts not available at compile time

de-jcup commented 7 years ago

Hello, I am a little bit stuck on a problem - maybe you can help:

Info

I am developing a eclipse integration for eclipse called egradle (https://github.com/de-jcup/egradle) and I want to execute my testcases in complete eclipse environment so I can test eclipse parts too (currently I don't so many parts are not tested). To eat my own dog food I decided to do the test execution also with gradle so I started to use wuff...

Changes made to get wuff on eclipse-neon running

My target platform is eclipse-neon, I setup the wuff-depencies in https://github.com/de-jcup/egradle/blob/feature-84-make-eclipse-projects-built-by-gradle/build.gradle to work with eclipse-neon (3.6.1)

Download + Installation fine

The downloads and the installation to ./wuff are working, all fine.

Build failes on compileJava

at https://travis-ci.org/de-jcup/egradle/builds/167167495 (or as raw log in https://api.travis-ci.org/jobs/167167496/log.txt?deansi=true)

you can see I am full missing all kind of org.eclipse.swt imports: e.g. /home/travis/build/de-jcup/egradle/egradle-plugin-main/src/main/java-eclipse/de/jcup/egradle/eclipse/Activator.java:24: error: package org.eclipse.swt.custom does not exist

but when I execute ./gradlew :egradle-plugin-main:dependencies

at the ouptut, I see the org.eclipse.swt plugin apearing

Question

All I want to do is currently a simple compile and execute all test cases. So what goes wrong?

I suggest you examine the history of recent responses to issues in this project.

Is there some reason Buildship isn't sufficient for you?

recent responses to issues:

I found nothing about eclipse-neon, so I started to configure for 3.6 Also I found nothing about missing SWT as well - so I started this issue.

buildship:

Hmm.. I tried it (and Gradle IDE) and it felt not good What I want is simply

execute gradle,
easy synch mechansim (e.g. import all existing gradle build results to eclipse junit view - egradle does 4500 test imports in less than 2 seconds at my work...)
execute junit tests inside ui on a fast way (e.g. simply click on test method and execute as junit test...)
use eclipse and console parallel without any conflicts
have access to root project parts without duplicated parts etc.
lightweight integration. no special imports necessary, a simple "cleanEclipse eclipse"+ "import existing projects" is all. Means: always working...
no conflicts on importing projects in my eclipse workplace at work and it was not fulfilled sorry. So I decided to write my own integration and I am happy with it any my collegues too... (see also https://github.com/de-jcup/egradle/wiki/FAQ)
