Using OpenUI5 with eclipse impossible?

[frankluzat]

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?

why dont use app cache??

just download openui5, extract it to your tomcat's webapps and reference like

<script id='sap-ui-bootstrap' type='text/javascript'
   src="/openui5_PATH/resources/sap-ui-core.js"

...

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:

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.
