1. Clone this repository

2. Go to release directory and start docking.bat

3. Once the java app starts, click on "Launch OpenFin" button, which should start OpenFin Runtime and "Hello OpenFin" HTML5 demo app. The java app will wait and try to connect to OpenFin Runtime.

4. After clicking "Dock to HTML5 app" button, you can move either window to see docking effect.

5. Click "Undock from HTML5 app" to undock 2 windows

Source code for the example is located in /src/main/java/com/openfin/desktop/demo/OpenFinDockingDemo.java.

1. Create connection object:

this.desktopConnection = new DesktopConnection("OpenFinDockingDemo", "localhost", port);

This code just creates an instance and it does not try to connect to runtime.

2. Launch and connect to stable version of OpenFin runtime:

desktopConnection.connectToVersion("stable", listener, 60);

listener is an instance of DesktopStateListener which provides callback on status of connections to runtime.

3. Once Runtime is running, an instance of DockingManager is create with

this.dockingManager = new DockingManager(this.desktopConnection, javaParentAppUuid);

4. Any OpenFin window can be registered with DockingManager with

dockingManager.registerWindow(openFinWindow);

5. Any Java window can be registered with DockingManager with

dockingManager.registerJavaWindow(javaWindowName, jFrame, AckListener);

6. An application can receive dock and undock events from DockingManger with

desktopConnection.getInterApplicationBus().subscribe("*", "window-docked", EventListener);

desktopConnection.getInterApplicationBus().subscribe("*", "window-undocked", EventListener);

7. An application can request DockingManager to undock a window with:

JSONObject msg = new JSONObject();

msg.put("applicationUuid", javaParentAppUuid);

msg.put("windowName", javaWindowName);

desktopConnection.getInterApplicationBus().publish("undock-window", msg);

Once the demo is running, Windows snap while being draggted close to other windows. Snapped windows dock on mounse release.
