Is there a way to replace the shell generated by Eclipse RCP for the MTrimmedWindow by a user defined window? Eclipse creates a shell with a particular style type, which can only be provided while creating. I want to remove maximize and resize from the shell element created for the MTrimmedWindow. If any one has a solution for the above problem please reply. The style for the shell cannot be changed after creation, and the shell itself cannot be exchanged after it has been created by the renderer. But the situation is not hopeless. Eclipse 4 uses renderers to generate UI elements from the

Is there at least anything other than Vogella's tutorials and his book , which is completely based on those tuts? Examples from his repo are often either incomplete/unfinished/won't run and those examples even don't match the book actually.. I'd like to find at least some javadoc for this, because any step to a side and I'm completely lost on how to accomplish different tasks and what functionality is available. Lars Vogel's Tutorials are the most complete and up-to-date documentation on Eclipse 4 development. Second to this is asking questions in Eclipse 4 Community Forum . Last option is to

i'm trying to develop an e4 application but i have an error : in this part "error:Type mismatch: cannot convert from element type Object to Parent" any help please thanks in advance :) @Creatable @Singleton public class TreeControl { ParentsHolder parentholder = new ParentsHolder(); public Parent parentExists(String str) { for (Parent p : parentholder.getParents()) if (p.getTag().equals(str)) return p; return null; } public Child childExists(String p, String c) { Parent parent = parentExists(p); if (parent != null) for (Child child : parent.getChildren()) if (child.getTag().equals(c)) return

I've an application built on eclipse e4 framework. I want to position a Handled Tool Item to the far right end. How can I achieve it? You need to use two 'Toolbar' entries with a 'Tool Control' between them: so something like: In the Tags for the Tool Control add the word stretch this will make the trim bar manager stretch out the control to use all available space pushing everything after it to the right: The class for the control can something simple like: public class SpacerControl { @PostConstruct public void postConstruct(Composite parent) { Composite body = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE

I'm working on a project with a main window consisting of a mpartstack where I add parts dynamically from another part. The problem is that when the last part gets closed the mpartstack disappears and the other part takes up all the space. When I try to add new parts nothing happens. I've tried fiddling around with the preDestroy function in the parts that are added to the stack by trying to add a new part. The preDestroy works occasionally but far from satisfactory. I've looked far and wide to try to find any clue on what to do but I've found nothing except for some bug reports on the matter.

I got stuck on one problem with an Eclipse 4 RCP application. I need to log some events. I need obtain somehow a reference to the logger. I know, how to do that using IEclipseContext , but I've nowhere found, how to obtain IEclipseContext without the dependency injection, which I cannot use in the activator. Do you anybody know, how to sort it out this problem, please? Thanks a lot You can get a specialized IEclipseContext by calling EclipseContextFactory.getServiceContext(bundleContext) which will allow access to OSGi services. Tomáš K. It seems regretably, that there is no way to obtain
