Setting up Eclipse RAP environment

We need to setup the target platform which the place where Eclipse will pick all java and Eclipse RAP dependencies needed

If you have no Eclipse e4 RAP target platform installed, no worries, bacnet comes with it !

  • Open bacnet-target-platform/bacnet-target-platform.target

In the target definition item bacnet-target-platform.target > Definition), check that it indicates around 300 plug-ins available.

Otherwise click on "Reload". If no plug-ins is available then Eclipse will not know where to find the dependencies. As soon as you have the plug-ins available, click on the top-right corner : "Set as active Target Platform".

The operation is complete if in all bacnet plug-ins there are no dependencies error. Meaning that all plug-ins have been found by Eclipse in the Target platform.
