Host an ECF Setup?

[merks]

For my most recent contribution to ECF, I authored an Oomph setup for ECF. It can be used in a *.md as below. Note that the button is a link and has hover help. Try to open the link in a separate page to see what the helpful documentation page looks like.

Creating an Eclipse Development Environment

You can set up a pre-configured IDE for the development of the Eclipse Communications Framework using the following link:

Here's an analogous example of the usage:

https://github.com/eclipse-emf/org.eclipse.emf/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#creating-an-eclipse-development-environment

It creates a workspace with all the (valid) projects like this:

The setup files are currently hosted by Oomph's Git repository but it's generally better for a project to host its own setup so that you can edit it yourself in the future. Of course I'm happy to help you with any changes you would like in the future.

If you are interested, I can create a PR to contribute this.

I can describe in more detail what the setup is doing, but that only makes sense if you wish to make use of this. (For example, it is using Oomph's Targlets to generate a target platform, which is generally much easier than authoring such things by hand because you generally only have to provide a list of update sites and the dependencies of your projects specify what's needed from those sites.)

Hi Ed. Yes sure I'm interested. Thanks.

I'll create a PR tomorrow then.

All done. 🎉
