I am working on an Eclipse RCP-based application, and we have decided that we do not want any of the menu items to display icons next to the text.

I have an Eclipse RCP plugin that requires a DLL. What is the recommended best practice to add the DLL reference to the MANIFEST? Where should the DLL be located, what is the recommended directory name? I have read conflicting practices. Some ask you to create a folder with the architecture and processor type, some ask to set some pla...
I am looking for the best practice of handling inter project dependencies between mixed project types where some of the projects are eclipse plug-in/OSGI bundle projects (an RCP application) and others are just plain old java projects (web services modules).

I am building Mac and Win versions of an RCP product using Eclipse 3.5.1. I've installed the RCP delta pack and everything looks great. However, when I go to export, the progress bar gets stuck at "Publishing Metadata" (about 20% through the export process). It never makes any progress after that. Further, cancelling has no effect at all...

I think the context would be similar with InstallShield and similar packagers instead of AdvancedInstaller. If I incorporate p2 provisioning into my build, would ...
I have taken the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.examples.rcp.prestartupdate project and adapted it for use in my RCP application. I then setup an update repository that gets updated as part of my nightly build. When I open my application it goes through the motions like it is updating - it finds the update site, generates an uninstall and inst...
Hey folks, I'd like to comfort the user by automatically jump to the next cell in a tableviewer, when a previous editing is completed. The user needs to modify start- endtimes in a list of entries. I was wondering how am I supposed to manually (programatically) trigger the CellEditor for a specific cell. I haven't seen that before in Ec...
