elexis-doc-fr: A customized Elexis for generating the images used by the french docu Premiers_pas_avec_Elexis

Author: Niklaus Giger [email protected]

Date: May 01, 2019

This a utility project by Niklaus Giger to ease creating the documentation for the french version of Elexis.

It should create images of the current master version of Elexis3 for https://wiki.elexis.info/Premiers_pas_avec_Elexis.

Besides the elexis-3-core it contains the following features

• Mediport (for sending XML invoicing to Medidata)
• Agenda
• Impfplan
• Omnivore
• Hilotec ODF Textplugin (This is Elexis 3.8, where it works. Not 3.7 where it has problems)
• Afinion AS100 laboratroy equipment
• External Viollier laboratory

Requirements

• A current linux distribution, eg. I use Debian Stretch, having installed the following packages ** openjdk-8-jdk (openjdk-11-jdk or oracle jdk should be okay, too) ** maven (I have 3.6.0) ** git
• In this guide a assume as architecture x864_64
• For macOSX or windows you must replace in the pom.xml the environment definition to point it to your architecture

Building the ElexisBaseApp

• Create a new, empty directory with around 1 GB of free space and cd into it
• git clone https://github.com/ngiger/elexis-doc-fr.git .
• mvn clean install

This will create target/products/ch.elexis.base.application.ElexisBaseApp-linux.gtk.x86_64.zip

Building the images via RCPTT

TODO: Does not yet work

Remarks

This project also illustrates how easy it is to create a new customized Elexis consting of

• The elexis-3-core
• Some additional features from the elexis-3-base repository (see the list in the features element of ElexisBase.product
• You want other branches or repositories adapt the repositories element in the pom.xml

How we included the OpenJDK

We got the inspiration from https://github.com/buchen/bundled-jre.

From a license perspective, we wanted to use the OpenJDK for Elexis.

The OpenJDK itself is not providing binaries for all platforms, but thankfully Azul does with Zulu.

The Idea

In short, the idea is outlined in the blog post Including a JRE in a Tycho build.

The Tycho build in this repository does:

• Download the JDK builds from Zulu
• Create bundles with the appropriate setJvm p2 Touchpoint Instructions
• Create a feature with all JRE bundles and the main Elexis features
• Create the Elexis3 application with self-update functionality to test the packaged JRE
