Eclipse plugin development and Apple Silicon M1

So... I have upgraded recently laptop to Macbook Pro M1. I am happy with hardware as it is blazing fast, cold, just perfect.

But... I have issues with development. I am not going to mention, that my VMWare Fusion is not available on Apple Silicon and I am not able to test my eclipse plugin anymore on Windows 10, which is like... 80% of all users. Just maddness. When I decided to go with Apple Silicon I assumed, that VMWare will deliver Fusion pretty fast. I know there is beta released, but still I am not able to use it.

Recently I have encountered an issue with architecture, when I tried to run my plugin in debug mode from Eclipse IDE. Let's check what problem I have:

Eclipse RCP configuration looked like this:

VM linked is embedded JRE: /Users/User/Develop/bin/EclipseRCP.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.macosx.aarch64_17.0.2.v20220201-1208/jre/lib/libjli.dylib

Solution for mixing architecture on Eclipse Debug Mode

The reason of that issue is that eclipse is going to run in different JVM architecture than it has been built. Error log, shown, that there was used JVM SAPMachine v. 11.04 (arch x86_64) for debug mode, where Eclipse IDE and whole built was done on OpenJDK v. 17 (arch aarch64).

To fix it, it is required to use in Debug Configuration same architecture JVM as IDE built that. I have also used embedded one, but it can be any aarch64 JVM build.

SAP Commerce Cloud and Read-Only Replica

Image
 Introduction SAP Commerce Cloud introduced Read-Only Replicas as a standard feature for all production environments. Aim for Read-only data source is to offload batch queries or expensive ones from master data.  That data-source gives copy of same sized like master. When production runs on Premium P11 master, RO replica will be same, Premium P11 instance running side-by-side with master. Read-Only replica is available for all Premium DBs in CCv2. That is a standard functionality provided by Azure. Product Availability Feature is available from SAP Commerce Cloud version 1905 +.  With patches onward: 1905.37 , 2005.21 , 2011.16 , and 2105.6 . (You need to run update (aka 'Migrate Data') operation during deployment). CronJob and Job models have been extended and usage of replica has been simplified to a flag. This patch introduces the support for a read-only replica. The feature includes additional configuration options for the Backoffice search, task engine, Job/CronJob...

FlexibleSearch Pagination

SAP Commerce platform provides functionality for pagination DB results. You are able to find paginated DAO: There is also Flexible Service which also allows pagination: That implementation depends on other DTOs i.e: PaginatedFlexibleSearchParameter and SearchPageData : Usage of that code is not popular in platform.
