Using the Equo SDK

In this section, we will explore how to use the Equo SDK in your application.

Using the Equo SDK in a Java Application with Maven

Java Maven Application

To consume our libraries in your Maven-based project, you need to place the following lines in your pom.xml file.:

<properties>
  <maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source>
  <maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>dev.equo</groupId>
    <artifactId>dev.equo.sdk</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.2</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <url>https://dl.equo.dev/chromium-swt-ee/equo-gpl/mvn</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

OSGi Maven Application

If you want to run OSGi as your application runtime you need to add the following dependencies. Here is a pom.xml file example:

<properties>
  <maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source>
  <maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>dev.equo</groupId>
    <artifactId>dev.equo.sdk</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.2</version>
  </dependency>
    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.apache.felix.framework</artifactId>
    <version>7.0.5</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.apache.felix.atomos</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.apache.felix.scr</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.6</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.eclipse.osgi.services</artifactId>
    <version>3.11.100</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.eclipse.osgi.util</artifactId>
    <version>3.7.200</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

  </repository>
</repositories>

Then you can use OSGi features like the Service Registry, Dependency Model, Extender Pattern and some other OSGi Technologies.

Using the Equo SDK in a Java Application with Gradle

Java Gradle Application

To consume our libraries in your Gradle-based project, you need to include the Equo repository and dependency in your build.gradle or build.gradle.kts file:

repositories {
  maven("https://dl.equo.dev/chromium-swt-ee/equo-gpl/mvn")
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  implementation("dev.equo:dev.equo.sdk:0.0.2")
}

OSGi Gradle Application

If you want to run OSGi as your application runtime you need to add the next Gradle capability. Here is a build.gradle.kts file example:

repositories {
  maven("https://dl.equo.dev/chromium-swt-ee/equo-gpl/mvn")
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  implementation("dev.equo:dev.equo.sdk:0.0.2")
  runtimeOnly("dev.equo:dev.equo.sdk:0.0.2") {
        capabilities {
            requireCapability("dev.equo:core-osgi-support")
        }
    }
}

Then you can use OSGi features like the Service Registry, Dependency Model, Extender Pattern and some other OSGi Technologies.

How can I run the application?

Java Application

Running an application using Equo SDK in Java is as simple as importing EquoApp, invoking EquoApp.create("APP-ID"), and then calling launch, as shown in the following example:

import com.equo.application.client.EquoApp;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

public class SimpleAppSample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        EquoApp.create("SIMPLE-APP")
                .launch(new URL("https://equo.dev"));
    }
}

OSGi Application

Otherwise, running the application using OSGi is as simple as adding the addOSGICompatibilityLayer() method to the EquoBuilder, as shown in the following example:

import com.equo.application.client.EquoApp;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

public class SimpleAppSample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        EquoApp.create("OSGI-APP")
                .addOSGICompatibilityLayer()
                .launch(new URL("https://equo.dev"));
    }
}
