I have classes that are named exactly the same across different plug-ins that I use for my application, and I'd like to be able to configure them properly with Hibernate. The problem is that it looks like Hibernate dynamically generates a class' package name when trying to find a class when it's doing its mapping. With one plug-in this s...
I have an Eclipse RCP application with an instance of an EMF model populated in memory. What is the best way to store that model for external systems to access? Access may occur during and after run time. Reads and writes of the model are pretty balanced and can occur several times a second. I think a database populated using Hiberna...

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. The problem we are seeing is that the standard actions like Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, and so on all display the default icons for the corresponding actions. Is there any way to tell the ...

Hello. First of all, for the sake of clarity: the question is addressed to those who have experience with ERCP, for those who make, say, business applications. The question is not about a general approach to GUI creation. I am considering the Eclipse RCP as a platform for desktop applications. I am at the very start (I mean with ERCP),...
I have a job (class which extends org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.Job) running inside Eclipse. The job gets an IProgressMonitor and I'm using it to report progress, that's all good. Here's my problem: during the processing, I sometimes find out that there's more work than I anticipated. Sometimes even double. However, once I set the total...
Hopefully no one has asked this question - didn't see it, but I apologize if it's a duplicate. Anyway, I'm building some plug-ins with Eclipse RCP and am using SWT for my UI. I have a Composite that contains some panels and other items - anyway, I've noticed a bit of a difference in the appearance of the UI depending on how my OS is se...
Hi, I think there are default SAVE and CANCEL buttons associated with editors in Eclipse RCP. How do we make these buttons appear on an editor. I take it that these buttons are invisible by default and may be there is some superclass method that needs to be overridden to make the SAVE CANCEL buttons appear on editor. I remember of havi...
I've run into a problem with RCP and JBoss. I'm attempting to seperate the JBoss client libraries (i.e. the .jar files in the 'client' directory of the jboss distribution) from the ejbmodule. The dependency hierarchy goes: company.client (ejbmodule containing ServiceRemote bean) org.jboss.client (jboss client libraries) The probl...
Hello, I have been wondering about the parameter 'properties' in the method TreeViewer#update(Object element, String[] properties). What are they? What do they refer to? I am not sure what goes into the String[] - are there predefined constants to use? Or are these the names of my column headers? Something else? I couldn't find any e...

Hello all, I have recently been asked to make an Eclipse Rcp view that would be "pretty". In that purpose I had fist looked at Java2D (after my boss advised me so) before the client's query turned to be more like "It would be smooth if you could do some flash or something ..." From there JavaFx seemed appealing to me however I never h...

I would like to be able to completely remove menu items upon startup of my eclipse plugin application. What I want to do is be able to add these menu items later depending on business logic based off of the user's actions. Is there a way to do this?

We've got an Eclipse RAP application that's behaving a bit strangely in Firefox - two distinct problems. When you browse around, you can click on a button in one part of the system.
