I have a handful of Eclipse plugins that I maintain. They are proving useful enough that non Eclipse users have asked for them without the overhead of a full eclipse install. I am certain this is possible, but uncertain how to make this possible. My attempts at creating a standalone RCP app and then including my plugins as dependencies ...

I am using setPartName to do that. It does change it, but the issue is that it shows the title-changes only after the view has been clicked. So, in a way, it first disp...

Does anyone have any experience with a really good RIA platform. I'm going to begin developing an application, and I intend to use Netbeans RCP for the thick client. I'd also like to create a RIA version of the same app. I've looked around for a RIA framework that rivals what you can get with the Netbeans RCP, and really haven't found...
My colleagues and I are building a new RCP application and trying to find our footing in RCP. My coworker managed to get the Eclipse Help framework working pretty quickly - but he used the old style Actions and ActionBarAdvisor.makeActions() to do it. All of the RCP Menu creation tutorials I've read (the ones that were written post Ecl...

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.

Eclipse 3.5 (on the Mac, at least) now has a slimmer look to its buttons and scroll bars, whereas previous versions' buttons and scroll bars used the larger, "puffier" look. I would like to adopt this same look in my RCP app, but I can't find in the SWT or JFace APIs anywhere how to force the widgets to use this slimmer look. How is th...
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 ...
When building my Eclipse RCP Application, I get the following error. The type org.eclipse.core.runtime.IConfigurationElement cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files. I have included the org.eclipse.core.runtime library in my dependencies, so I am not sure what the problem is. ...
