Using OpenUI5 with eclipse impossible?

frankluzat — Fri, 30 Oct 2015 22:00:39 GMT

Hi everyone,

currently I'm using the SAPUI5 plugin for eclipse which also delivers the open UI5 sources for local development / testing.

Is there any way of switching to an OpenUI5 version for local eclipse development instead?

I know, that I could just use the HANA CDN version of OpenUI5 in my bootstrap, but since I have some caching problems with my local tomcat (sometimes changed files are not served in their latest version) I use to disable browser caching in the chrome dev tools. So reloading everything from a remote server on every page refresh in the browser would drive me nuts.

Any suggestions?

Hello Frank,

the first answer comes to my mind: download OpenUI5 SDK and install locally and reference to that folder in your index.html. I hope it helps,

That would mean that I have to put the UI5 sources into every project folder, make my version control system ignore it when looking for changed files.

It would be better if I could configure tomcat in a way that it would provide the sources folder to every project which is run in tomcat.

Hi Maksim,

thanks for this hint. It works like a charm...

BTW: Here's the explanation for my caching issue, which seems to be "by design", because content which is injected dynamically into the page is not refreshed on page reload (Ctrl+F5). So the only option for developing is to completely disable the cache in chrome dev tools.

Since I can't link the exact answer I post this screen shot here:
