I'm trying to create an Eclipse Form that has three foldable sections, one fixed size and two others that should grab all the remaining vertical space in the editor window so, that when one of the bottom sections is folded, the other one would fill all the available space. I have read the forms article, tried many variations of grabExce...

After watching the webinar, skimming over the BuckyBook PDF, and following the Eclipse RCP build tutorial, I still don't know how to materialize a simple RCP plug-in project from CVS into an eclipse workspace.

Hello! :-) In my current RCP-project i use a MultipageEditorPart. It has various pages, with simple SWT composites on it. The composites contain some Text and Combo elements.

I have an RCP app, consisting of: A main plugin A "framework" plugin A product definition file The product definition file lives in the main plug-in (is this a bad idea?). The product definition is based on "plug-ins", and has a dependency upon all the plug-ins in the workspace. Now, I want the user of the RCP app to be able to upda...
If I add action within an extension point thus: <action class="com.mycompany.MyAction" id="mycompany.myaction.MyAction" menubarPath="actions" /> How can I control its ordering programatically? It looks like they are simply ordered alphabetically according to their ID. I don't want to have to gi...
I'm confuse about IAdaptable and related classes. Which class is the adapter, the adaptee, the adaptable type? [Context] I have a context menu for entries of a table/tree viewer.

I followed roughly the recipe in this blog entry http://eclipsercptutorials.blogspot.com/2009/05/add-toolbar-to-view-in-eclipse-rcp.html Which looks like that the image appears left to the minimize/maximize icons The thing is, if I don't assign an image to the action, then the item doesn't appear in the header, but in a separate to...
I have an Eclipse RCP plug-in project, called proj.a. I have another Eclipse RCP plug-in project, proj.b, which has a product definition file in it. This project uses depends on the proj.a plug-in. When I change proj.a, say to include JUnit tests, the dependency to JUnit is automatically added to the build path of proj.a. But when I ...
I have an action class which I would like to enable depending on the file extension. I have written this logic in the selectionChanged() of the action class.

I have a TableViewer widget with a single column, where each row in the table's contents is a Composite with a number of child widgets.

My Users and roles are stored in a database and my application also has a web based admin console which lets me manage users and roles. I am leveraging Spring security on this admin console.

In our RCP application we have views which require a C, and use an IAdapterFactory to get there from an A and B. The problem is that while A->C is fast, B->C is much slower (e.g., a database or file-system look-up) and should be done in a UI job. We thought about using a CProxy or LightweightC and asking the proxy or a service for the ...
I have a Java desktop application running from the command line. I need to put a rich GUI on it and Eclipse RCP would be ideal, except there are some problems with it - especially the learning curve. The Eclipse RCP book is out of date (written for Eclipse 3.1). I don't know how up-to-date and complete other resources for learning Ecl...
I am currently using javascript to add scripting to an Eclipse RCP application, but I would prefer to be able to use Clojure. However, I have run into classpath difficulties because while Eclipse can find the Clojure classes, Clojure itself can't. The plugin activator's start method: public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exce...
Ok, I have a(n) RCP application (that I didn't write), and an application I've developed using just SWT. What I want to do is basically import and launch the main method of the SWT application with arguments, such that it runs in another window, like it's another process. The argument I want to pass is a complex data structure that I d...

I will develop a desktop application for asset tracking. I am considering Eclipse RCP and Netbeans Platform. I have only Swing experience but SWT will not be a problem for me. One more option is developing with flex on Adobe Air. I know flex but no air experience (they are much similar) Speed which one is faster to develop as a RAD Le...
