Eclipse SmartHome Designer

[probonopd]

Can you provide an AppImage for Eclipse SmartHome Designer, http://www.eclipse.org/smarthome/documentation/community/downloads.html?

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/smarthome/releases/0.8.0/eclipsesmarthome-incubation-0.8.0-designer-linux64.zip

Could you provide me with an icon for SmartHome? After all without it the build fails giving the error:

Desktop file: /home/fusion809/GitHub/mine/packaging/AppImages/recipes/meta/smarthome/eclipse-smarthome/eclipse-smarthome.AppDir/eclipse-smarthome.desktop
Name: Eclipse smarthome IDE
Icon: eclipse-smarthome
Exec: SmartHome-Designer.wrapper
Comment entry not found in desktop file
Comment: (null)
Type: Application
Categories: Development;IDE;smarthome
File used for determining architecture: /proc/self/exe
Arch: 86_64
App name for filename: Eclipse_smarthome_IDE
dest_path: Eclipse_smarthome_IDE-x86_64.AppImage
DESTINATION not specified, so assuming Eclipse_smarthome_IDE-0.8.0.glibc2.4-x86_64.AppImage

/home/fusion809/GitHub/mine/packaging/AppImages/recipes/meta/smarthome/eclipse-smarthome/eclipse-smarthome.AppDir should be packaged as Eclipse_smarthome_IDE-0.8.0.glibc2.4
-x86_64.AppImage
eclipse-smarthome{.png,.svg,.svgz,.xpm} not present but defined in desktop file

Thanks for looking into it @fusion809

Since I didn't find one immediately, a workaround might be to

wget "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/378800000699017975/a2f977db2b9ede29fabb70c501261d3f_400x400.png"
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
convert *400x400.png -resize 128x128 icon.png

The proper thing to do would be to open an issue upstream asking for an icon to be included in the download (and a desktop file), but I don't have the time to sign up there and do that right now.

Here is the AppImage you wanted, I haven't tested it yet (as I can't build it on my machine as I'm now using Fedora 25 as my primary OS and not a Debian-based distro wherein the apt commands can be understood) https://bintray.com/fusion809/AppImages/Eclipse_smarthome_IDE#files.

Thank you very much @fusion809

The platform metadata area could not be written: /tmp/.mount_xvfKF4/usr/workspace/.metadata. By default the platform writes its content under the current working directory when the platform is launched. of course this doesn't work in a read-only AppImage. Hence we need to use a custom *.desktop file or AppRun script to set the -data parameter to specify a different content area for the platform.

Well any patches you have for me (like in the form of pull requests) I'll be happy to accept.

I am investigating; setting it to $HOME does not work either. Not sure what needs do be done, I need to investigate.
