SAPUI5 development (Eclipse vs. Web IDE)

[pietrom_]

Hi,

I would like to develop Fiori-like app using the SAPUI5 framework. Since I'm working in an on-premises non-HANA scenario, I think I won't be able to use the SAP Web IDE, so I've set up a local installation of Eclipse Mars with the SAPUI5 plugins.

Is there a guide on how to develop an SAPUI5 application with Eclipse?

What is the recommended IDE for developing SAP Fiori-like applications?

Will Eclipse still be supported in the future or is SAP's strategy focused on developing the Web IDE?

Thank you,

Kind regards,

Pietro.

You can also use the on premise version of Web IDE:

Hi Pietro,

There are many online help available for step by step app development in SAPUI5 some of them are:

1. Develop Your First Application using SAPUI5 Tools - UI Development Toolkit for HTML5 (SAPUI5) - SAP ...
2. Complete tutorials ,starting from basics of UI5 https://openui5beta.hana.ondemand.com/#docs/guide/8b49fc198bf04b2d9800fc37fecbb218.html

SAP Web IDE is the recommended IDE for development.

With current information in hand we can only say SAP Web IDE will be the only supported IDE in the future and use of eclipse will be deprecated.
