Eclipse Dirigible™ Project

Eclipse Dirigible™

Eclipse Dirigible is a High-Productivity Application Platform as a Service (hpaPaaS). It provides an application server consisting of pre-selected execution engines and built-in web development tools. It is suitable for rapid development of business applications by also leveraging the Low Code / No Code techniques.

Enjoy Programming Like Never Before

From the end user's perspective (developer), Dirigible runs directly in the browser, therefore does not require any downloads or installations.

From the service provider's perspective (PaaS/SaaS), Dirigible packs all required components in a self-contained software bundle that can be deployed on a VM or Docker capable environment such as Kubernetes.

Dirigible supports access to RDBMS via JDBC. Currently supported versions for RDBMS are PostgreSQL, HANA, Sybase ASE, MySQL, H2, and Derby.

Dirigible promotes the In-System Programming development model, where you make dynamic alteration of the live system. To provide the self-contained bundle serving all the needed features for a business application, Dirigible packs various engines such as ActiveMQ, Quartz, Lucene, Flowable, Mylyn, GraalJS and others.

The project started as an internal SAP initiative to address the extension and adoption use-cases related to SOA and Enterprise Services.

Get Started

Download

The "fast-track" - you can download the precompiled binaries produced by the GitHub Actions from http://download.dirigible.io/ and skip the build section.

Nevertheless, we highly recommend building the binaries from source in order to have all experimental features that are not available in the releases.

Build

Prerequisites

• Git
• Java JDK 11+
• Maven 3.5.x

Steps

1. Clone the project repository - master branch or download the latest sources.

In case there is an issue with 'Filename too long in Git for Windows' then add the fllowing git confoguration

git config --system core.longpaths true

3. Go to the root folder.

4. Build the project with:

    mvn clean install
   

• Quick build with tests:

   mvn -T 1C clean install -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Dlicense.skip=true
  

• If you don't want to trigger license updates:

   mvn clean install -Dlicense.skip=true
  

• If you have a multi-core system, enable threads:

   mvn -T 1C clean install
  

• If you don't need to run tests, you can add the following argument:

   mvn clean install -DskipTests
  

• If you don't need to compile and run tests:

   mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true -DskipTests
  

• If you want to do a fast build, with no tests, javadocs and license updates:

   mvn -T 1C clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true -DskipTests -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Dlicense.skip=true
  

The build should pass successfully.

The produced dirigible-application-XXX.jar file is in build/application/target/ and is ready to be deployed. It is Spring Boot application, so it can be executed locally right away.

Run

Standalone

Prerequisites

macOS:

    brew install ttyd

Linux:

Linux support is built-in

More info about ttyd can be found at: ttyd

Steps

1. From the project root directory run command:

    java -jar build/application/target/dirigible-application-XXX.jar
   

2. In case you want to debug the application run:

    java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 -jar build/application/target/dirigible-application-XXX.jar
   

3. Open a web browser and go to:

    http://localhost:8080

• Pull the official image from Docker Hub:

    docker pull dirigiblelabs/dirigible-application
  

• Build it locally

    cd build
    docker build -t dirigible-application -f Dockerfile .
  

2. Start the container

    docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 dirigiblelabs/dirigible-application <&- &
   

3. Open a web browser and go to:

    http://localhost:8080/
   

4. Optionally you can enhance and customize the Dockerfile from here

PostgreSQL

Steps

1. Install PostgreSQL e.g. for MacOS:
