eclipse-rcp

The Jobs API in Eclipse RCP apparently works much differently than I expected. I thought that creating and scheduling multiple Jobs would actually cause multiple worker threads to be created, executing the Jobs in parallel unless there was an ISchedulingRule conflict. I went back and read the documentation more closely, and also discovered this comment in the JobManager class: /** * Returns a running or blocked job whose scheduling rule conflicts with the * scheduling rule of the given waiting job. Returns null if there are no * conflicting jobs. A job can only run if there are no running jobs

I am currently using javascript to add scripting to an Eclipse RCP application, but I would prefer to be able to use Clojure. However, I have run into classpath difficulties because while Eclipse can find the Clojure classes, Clojure itself can't. The plugin activator's start method: public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { super.start(context); plugin = this ; Class.forName("clojure.lang.RT") ; JSController.startup() ; } doesn't raise a class not found exception for clojure.lang.RT , but for clojure/core__init which is in the same place. java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could

Our current product is based on Eclipse RCP. We are starting to have problems when we try to have our whole code base inside one eclipse workspace and we were wondering what others were doing. Here's our setup: ~225 eclipse projects (all in trunk/project) ~30 eclipse features (all in trunk/features) ~900k lines of code We are finding a few different bottlenecks: SVN on Windows is dreadfully slow (tried TortoiseSVN, SmartSVN, command line svn), an update can take in the upwards of 5-8 minutes and it is only updating 10 small files. The only reasonable client is subclipse/subversive, however

In a elipse-rcp application I am setting the background color for a row in a jface table but I don't want the selection to change this color. I want to be able to specify the color change for a selected row. VonC According to this thread , for JFace Viewers ( ListViewer , Table , Tree ) by means of using EraseItem and MeasureItem events General principle detailed in the article " Custom Drawing Table and Tree Items " SWT.EraseItem : allows a client to custom draw a cell's background and/or selection, and to influence whether the cell's foreground should be drawn ks. table.addListener(SWT

I switched the build of our Eclipse RCP product from PDE-build to Maven Tycho. In addition to the main (branded) launcher executable, the product now includes the "eclipsec.exe" file. We would like to omit this console-based launcher from our product as it might confuse our customers. Is there a way to do that with Tycho? I got this answer on the tycho-users list : In your eclipse-repository project, assuming that you have a .product file, you can place another file in the same directory called .p2.inf For the contents of your p2.inf file you can put a p2 touchpoint to remove the file:

I'd like to build an Eclipse RCP application. I have a Product configuration file and a target platform with lots of third party plugins. The export from the Eclipse IDE works flawlessly. But that is hardly professional. So I'd like to get it to work on Jenkins, too. The build server gets the files from SVN, doesn't have Eclipse and should do it all headlessly anyway. I do not want to use Maven/Tycho or Buckminster. I'd like to do it a simple as possible. Since I know a bit about ant already, I would like to do it all with ant. I have an ant script with which I can build all my plugins. All I
