Introduction

Sapphire is a user interface development framework that improves productivity. Instead of focusing on individual widgets, layouts and data binding, the developers focus on modeling the semantics of the data and declaring the general intent of how the data it to be presented.

Building

The build is easy to run on a local machine.

  1. Make sure that you have JDK 6, 7 and 8, as well as Ant installed. JDK 8 and Ant should be on the path.
  2. Set JDK_6_HOME, JDK_7_HOME and JDK_8_HOME environment variables to point to the corresponding JDK installs.
  3. Clone the Sapphire Git repository and pick the desired branch.
  4. Open a shell to the Git workspace and execute ant dev-build.

If you are working with multiple Sapphire branches, you may want to share the bundle pool so that every branch does not need to re-download everything it needs. The default bundle pool folder is [root]/releng/pool, but you can change it by setting the SAPPHIRE_BUNDLE_POOL environment variable or the bundle.pool property when invoking the build. An absolute path is required in both cases.

Example: ant dev-build -Dbundle.pool=d:\Sapphire\Pool

Once the build completes, you will notice the following key folders in the Git workspace:

  • build/repository : Repository of build artifacts, including runtime bundles, source bundles and the SDK.
  • dev-eclipse : Eclipse with select plugins along with Sapphire SDK from the build. This Eclipse configuration is designed to be appropriate for working on Sapphire.
  • dev-target : Eclipse with select plugins along with all of Sapphire, including source bundles. This Eclipse configuration is designed to make a good target platform.
