Due to all the effort you just made to define proxy settings and the like, you can
now select Monster Monitor in the top-left-hand corner of the Eclipse screen,
and choose Run As 폷 Web App Preview. A new tab appears, and after a few seconds
your application screen appears (Figure 13.37).

If you click on the blue ball in the top-right-hand corner, then your default Internet
browser will open (as mentioned earlie r, if your default browser is Internet
Explorer, then this may not work), and you can see the screen in a full web page.
13.5 Adding Elements with OpenUI5
You may have heard that the Eskimos have three million words for snow. In the
same way, there are often many different terms referring to the same (or almost
the same) thing in the SAP sphere, and this confuses people to no end. For example,
you may have heard the terms “UI Development Toolkit for HTML5,”
“SAPUI5,” and “OpenUI5” and wondered what the difference was.
The first two are one and the same. SAPUI5 is a JavaScript library of assorted
functions that relate to UI elements. OpenUI5 is the open-source version of
SAPUI5. The only difference is that SAPUI5 contains functions that solely relate to
SAP-specific concepts and wouldn’t make sense in any other environment. The
functions in OpenUI5 can be used by anybody at all, even if they never have and
would not touch SAP with a 10-foot barg epole. As might be imagined, OpenUI5
contains a very large percentage of the SAPUI5 functions.
