I have been engaged in developing IBM MobileFirst + Ionic applications for the last few months, but I still couldn't figure out a way to use SASS. How I managed till date is, I will have a static Ionic project with SASS setup and I re-use/copy-paste the HTML and CSS from this static www folder to actual MobileFirst project common folder.
Is there a better way around, like to have a node + gulp setup on the MobileFirst project?
NB: I'm using IBM MobileFirst 7.0.0
Cheers!
In Hybrid apps in v7.0, you use Eclipse. This makes things more complicated. In Eclipse you can use Ant scripts to alter the generated folder with anything you may need. Perhaps the Ant script could execute whatever it is that you need.
You can see an Ant script integration example in Studio, here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/blog/2015/08/03/integrating-3rd-party-cordova-plug-ins/
This will be easier for you in v7.1, where you can create "pure Cordova" apps using the command line, thus your integration points with other tools such as Node.js and gulp is much more natural, and more feasible.

I am working on one pet project to get the better understanding of the SAPIUI5 framework. About me, I am a very experienced front-end developer and enjoy working in VS Code IDE. I started SAPUI5 development in SAP Web IDE and then exported the project to eclipse to run it locally, but in eclipse, I was missing a lot of new features like es6 and es7 and some plugins, so I moved my project to VS Code. In VS code, I introduced grunt to run a small static web server to run my SAPUI5 application, so far it is working fine, and I have no issues, but I am worried about the hidden scenarios that I can't see right now in regards to SAP UI5 deployment and deployment environment. With no experience in the deployment environment and production environment requirements for SAPUI5 client-side application. Can you guys please tell me of any potential issues if there are any in this sort of approach and development of SAPUI5 with VS CODE?
Potential issues:
ES6 and ES7 is not supported across all browsers, so you might want to add Babel to your grunt chain.
Deployment:
The grunt plugin grunt-openui5 lets you minify the code into a single Component-preload.js.
The grunt plugin grunt-nwabap-ui5uploader lets you deploy your code directly to SAP NetWeaver.
Here is a sample by SAP which shows their Gruntfile: https://github.com/SAP/openui5-sample-app
I have a Java Web Service project which was just handed over to me by a colleague who just resigned (no one is assisting me in my new company). Im new to Java (J2EE) and my background is .Net + frontend + azure so I am pretty much very confused with setting up and running the java project. Also, Since my background is .Net Im referencing everything with how things work in Visual Studio from running a project, setting up a project to setting up and debugging a WCF project which I realized now is very different from eclipse + java.
I would really appreciate if someone could explain to me how I can run this project which is supposedly a java web service (as I was told)?
First I have a project that is like this:
Im assuming that the project boxed as blue is the webservice (and the rest are just libraries)? Is this correct? if so how do I run and debug the project using eclipse
Second when I click on debug as -> debug on server this is all I see:
Another colleague told me to install JBOSS (I haven't installed a server in eclipse) because that is what they used. Is there good documentation (step-by-step guide) on how to install JBOSS to run in eclipse. Im assuming that JBOSS + eclipse is like IIS express + Visual studio. Are there also other alternatives to JBOSS + eclipse like perhaps tomcat + ecplise that I can configure.
I really really find it hard to setup the java web service project in eclipse I have little to no prior experience with java j2ee programming especially with web services so any clarifications with my questions would be much appreciated. To sum up:
How would I really know that the project is a java webservice?
If so, how do I run the project and host the project using debugging in eclipse with tomcat or jboss?
I would appreciate if anyone can point me to the right direction of figuring out the source code
From here we can only guide you, you will have to go through some tutorials to understand how java projects work.
Your project is a webservice project according to your web.xml file because its having context params for rest.
the context param sets a front url to your webservice which in this case is gametime.
Check these tutorials and you will understand how it works
http://www.mkyong.com/tutorials/jax-rs-tutorials/
Create simple examples given in the above tutorial and then you can execute your's program
Jboss is a application server which we use to run our app.
You can install jboss in eclipse or you can use it externally also.
To install eclipse and jboss you can follow the link
http://theopentutorials.com/tutorials/java-ee/installing-jboss-tools-in-eclipse/
The other option is to download eclipse and jboss seperately
and use them.
Go to jbosshome/bin
If you download both of them seperately
then in that case for jboss
Invoke the add-user.sh or add-user.bat script. ...
Choose to add a Management user. ...
Choose the realm for the user. ...
Enter the desired username and password. ...
Choose whether the user represents a remote JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 server instance. ...
Enter additional users. ...
Create users non-interactively.
After this go to eclipse and follow steps of below link to add jboss to eclipse

A Java web application among other things has a predefined directory structure including folders named WEB-INF, WEB-CONTENT etc.
On how to deploy a web application to Tomcat via Eclipse you can follow the steps in this tutorial.
Is it possible to use Eclipse (with AppEngine SDK plugin) and Google "push-to-deploy" together? I have managed to install "gcloud"-tools and initialize a project fine! But now I can't figure out how to combine Eclipse project structure and the structure generated by "gcloud init". I mean I would like to do this:
1) Use Eclipse to edit the application and test it locally in Development server as before
2) But also utilize Google "Push-to-deploy" GIT repository (instead of GitHub)
Is this possible or feasible and is there any instructions how to do this kind of project setup correctly.
Thanks for any tips!
After some more experiments with gcloud (Google Cloud SDK) I would recommend creating the project with Maven and use Maven for building & running the development server. Still you can import the Maven project in Eclipse and use that as Java editor + remote debugger. Here's the instruction to get started:
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/maven
Also Google Endpoints is quite nice tool for building REST APIs (though it still has some weaknesses, like limited support for HttpServletRequest data and poor authorization support in Development server)

I've been learning about groovy and it works nicely with eclipse via the eclipse groovy plugin. I've been informed that I should use griffon if I want to write desktop applications.
Is it possible to add libraries/jars/etc to my groovy install so that I can create griffon applications? (I know that I could try this instead, but it doesn't really do what I want.)
Griffon is more than just a set of libraries, it's a full blown framework that provides a command line tool that takes care of many things, like processing resources, launching the application, packaging and deployment. It's also extensible via plugins. This being said, you cannot build a Griffon application with just its runtime libraries placed under ~/.groovy/lib
I'm trying to learn how to develop a j2ee web application but is currently figuring out what's the advantage of using seam-gen vs eclipse seam web project or vice versa.
Why would I use one over the other?
Thanks,
czetsuya
Command line seam-gen stuffs the whole application into a single project and included some files that we didn't need (6 versions of the messages file, for example, each in a differnet language).
The eclipse jboss tools seam-gen produces a bit more modular, streamlined app. It generates 3 separate projects (4 if you want a test project). It took some time to get used to it, but once I got it down, I prefer it. Additionally, when you create he project in eclipse you can leverage more easily the benefits of using those integrated tools.
You can do this with a seam-gen commandline-generated project as well by creating an eclipse project using your seam-gen project as source , but it takes some fiddling around in eclipse to get the settings just right.
My recommendation is to go with eclipse/jboss tools. If you come from a command-line centric background (as I did), the learnign curve may be a bit steeper, but in the end it will be worth it. Use the jboss tools forum for questions you have about this project.
Good luck. Once you get going with eclipse/jboss you'll find it's a great environment to work in.
