Nuxeo RCP is a set of rich client platform plugins that can connect to a Nuxeo EP server and browse its documents using native graphical widgets. It can be used to extend any product based on Eclipse RCP.
Nuxeo RCP can be used for different purposes:
As a platform, for developing specific RCP products that have to connect to a Nuxeo EP server
As a standalone application, to connect and browse an existing Nuxeo RCP.
In this chapter, we will install some Nuxeo RCP components in the Eclipse IDE and use them from there.
Prebuilt versions of the software are provided by Nuxeo to ease the task of trying out Nuxeo RCP for the first time.
Just download the appropriate Nuxeo RCP package for your platform (only Windows and Linux packages
are provided at the moment) from http://download.nuxeo.org/nuxeo-rcp/products/snapshots/,
unzip them, and launch the application. The nuxeo-core-event-compat plugins needs to be copy into the
server folder:
$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/nuxeo.ear/system
.
To fully works with Nuxeo RCP, Nuxeo EP may have to be bound to its DNS address or IP address. If you have connection errors while connecting with Nuxeo RCP, try the following instructions:
in
$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/nuxeo.ear/config/nuxeo.properties
replace all "localhost" by the IP adress or DNS name of the JBoss
server
start JBoss with the -b option: ./run.sh -b IP_adress_or_DNS_of_the_server
