Hi,
I’m trying to configure the XFire plugin with my Eclipse RCP application. Looking at the plugins list there appear to be two choices available:

com.genuitec.eclipse.ws.xfire
com.genuitec.myeclipse.ws.xfire

In my non-RCP applications I’ve successfully used the com.genuitec.eclipse.ws.xfire JAR libraries to access my web services (much, much easier than my attempts to use AXIS2).
Suggestions on which on is the correct one to select?

Has anyone succesfully built an RCP application with the XFIRE plugin? XFIRE has a lot of plugin dependencies and I wonder whether I need to include all of these in my RCP dependencies as well. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I’m asking someone from our WS team to follow up with you.

I’m glad that you are finding MyEclipse-WS4XFire useful. Please note that the MyEclipse XFire plugins comprise developer features and are not licensed for rebundling or redistribution by 3rd parties. I assume you are wanting to bundle the ME plugin because it already defines the XFire libraries. Is that correct? If yes, then I believe you will find it much easier to bundle the XFire libraries in your own plugin than to pull in all of the ME dependencies.

Thank you for your reply Michael.

Yes, I am attempting to build a distributable RCP application that uses XFire. Just so I am interpreting your recommendation correctly, what I need to do is build my own plug-in using the XFire libraries and integrate this into my RCP application. I should not use the MyEclipse XFire plugin as this is non-redistributable and contains developer features.

[Riyad Kalla]

Yes that is correct. You need to create your own plugin with the XFire libraries and package it in your RCP application.

Thanks. Makes total sense now that you’ve help me think it through a bit more. I got the XFire library and its dependencies, created a plugin and everything worked fine in my RCP app.
Cheers.
