Hey everyone!
We have put Platycore studio, alpha prerelease version out for download:
Google to "Digital Geyser" and follow "Products" link on the left.
It is essentially a set of plugins for eclipse which enable HME app development. I have bundled all the HME SDK as part of this so if you are using eclipse, you can just drop the plugins in and start developing.
This is a very ad-hoc project at this point, but we're gearing toward having a fully functional development and test-hosting environment.
The idea is to give this out as an open-source contribution to the TiVo community.
Features at this point:
- extension points for your own app, so you can start an application by
simply creating a new eclipse plugin
- built-in test hosting environment (one that is part of SDK)
- built-in launcher for the emulator (fires off a AWT window from
eclipse, not SWT native one)
- eclipse views where you can see all your apps and start/stop them
- some test apps I've been tinkering with
- ability to launch all this as an eclipse RCP application, not just as
plugins for eclipse
If you install plugins, you go to Windows->Views->Other... and find "Digital Geyser" among the views. If anyone is interested in using this, helping with development or suggesting anything, let me know!
I would be very interested to hear from TiVo, if using eclipse as a development environment is something you guys may be interested in as a formal SDK release, and how can we collaborate on that.
Cheers,
Timotej
