Hello, I would like to set the background color of my RCP application to white and show a center image (logo). This is because due to the fact, that no views or editors are shown beforehand and the user should select which perspective to open. This is necessary because I defined a backgroundview which would be shown first, but this prev...
We ship an eclipse RCP with a main view that contains a structured viewer. I define a DropTarget on the viewer that seems to work fine (supports File, Plugin and Resource Transfer Types). The only problem is, when I use this with our other product, an IDE based on the full eclipse platform, I can't get the resource from my selection in...
I am implementing a file browser, in Eclipse RCP, using a TreeViewer. Would it be best to put it in an Editor or ViewPart. I ask because, I need to be able to pass the root path for the browser and do not know of a way to do so with a view. As views are not instantiated directly. ...
Hi, I am working on an RCP application. Currently, I am stuck on trying to get the project created from my custom wizard to open the files in my CNF-based navigator. I am not really sure whether it needs to be done on the navigator-side or the wizard-side. ...
I don't know RCP very well yet, but I've been reading a lot of the docs. I don't know if my question makes sense; I apologize if not and beg that you try to work out what I mean and come up with some kind of answer. I have a tree view element, which has a double click listener on it. In another part of the window there is a layout folde...
I have an Eclipse plugin that makes use of several keybindings (Alt-G x, Alt-G y, etc...). For most keyboard layouts, there are no problems for these specific keybindings. However, for Swiss German, it turns out that 'Alt-G' creates '@' and this makes it very hard for Swiss Germans to use the plugins I created. I do not want to change...
What I'm trying to achieve is to contribute an action to the IProject pop up menu. The action is defined like this in my plugin.xml: <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus"> <objectContribution adaptable="true" objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject" nameFilter="*" ...
I'm trying to bind a TableViewer to a models = List<ModelObject> , but I don't really get the hang of it. The binding should be possible via master-detail and a databinding context (DataBindingContext), so that I'm able to write the changes of the list (and its elements) to the model only on request (dbc being set to POLICY_ON_REQUES...
I'm trying to build an Eclipse RCP application, and in the process, we're trying to set the application to automatically update. We're trying to have it automatically set the right preferences in the Preferences -> Install/Update -> Automatic Updates page.

I tried to override the button creation method: @Override protected void createButtonsForButtonBar(Composite parent) { super.createButtonsForButtonBar(parent); getButton(IDialogConstants.OK_ID).se...
I have a huge RCP application studio built over eclipse. I have lot of JSP pages and I wish to disable validation. The challenge is there is no Validation option in project properties but eclipse internally checks all JSP's and generates lots of warnings. The issue can be tackled in two ways: - Disable all validations via code ...
I have been adding icons to org.eclipse.ui.commandImages, but when I try to look them up the command image service can't find them. Best demonstrated with code: ICommandImageService imgService = (ICommandImageService) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(ICommandImageService.class); ImageDescriptor imgDesc = imgs.getImageDescriptor("som...

After I checked out the epf source code from CVS I need to run it in the same way what I have got as an exe format. I got the main plugin which have branded as product. But when I tried export the product I got the error message saying the prod...
I want to create a 'new project' wizard for my application. The first page of this wizard is simply the instance of org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.WizardNewProjectCreationPage. I want to import some system files to current project in the second wizard page. I found that org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.WizardResourceImportPage is quite close to my thougts...
In our RCP application, we need to resort to using a global key event handler (via Display.addFilter()) for more advanced key event handling/routing irrespective of current focus. We need to be able to determine if a dialog box is currently open for some of the routing logic. Seems like a fairly trivial question but I keep hitting dead ...
When adding a command to the extension org.eclipse.ui.commads, there is a field 'name' and a field 'description'. The name field seems to be used at most places. When will description be used? ...
Hi, I'm trying to associate information with projects (certain properties). I tried using the persistence store (getPersistentProperty() and setPersistentProperty()). The problem with that is that when I export the project and re-import it in a different workspace, those properties are gone (since they are stored somewhere in the .metad...
