This example project demonstrates building an Eclipse RCP application using the following techniques:

- Dependencies pulled from maven and p2
- Native launchers for Win/Mac/Linux
- Automatic OSGi metadata
- Two versions of the same library (Guava 17 and 18 at the same time)
- Generate IDE-as-build-artifact

Demo project for the [goomph](https://github.com/diffplug/goomph) Gradle plugin, also makes heavy use of [bnd-platform](https://github.com/stempler/bnd-platform).

### Quickstart

- `gradlew ide` opens an IDE for manipulating this project.
- `gradlew assemble.all` creates native launchers for win/mac/linux in the `deploy/build` folder.

### High level layout

The plugins are applied as follows:

## Talks

See "Gradle and Eclipse RCP.pptx" in this repo for more details.  Based on a talk given at [Gradle Summit 2016](https://gradlesummit.com/schedule/gradle-and-eclipse-rcp) ([video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIC6YeRkRlo&feature=youtu.be)).

A second talk based on this work will be given at [EclipseConverge 2017](https://www.eclipseconverge.org/na2017/session/gradle-and-eclipse-ide-build-artifact).
