How can I create a RCP application, which looks exactly like the Eclipse IDE with all menus, views, dialogs...? Here is one example: http://richclientplatform.blogspot.com/2007/12/oil-and-gas-industry-using-eclipse.html I followed Lars Vogel's tutorial to create a simple RCP application: http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html . ... what are the next steps? The ide bundle provides you with classes and extension points that allow you to use the workspace metaphor but it does not include the extensions that add all the functionality that you would see in the Eclipse IDE. Since

I'm a beginner with Eclipse RCP and I'm trying to build an application for myself to give it a go. I'm confused about how one actually goes about handling model objects. None of the examples I can find deal with the problem I'm having, so I suspect I'm going about it the wrong way. Say I need to initialise the application with a class that holds authenticated user info. I used my WorkbenchWindowAdvisor (wrong place?) to perform some initialisation (e.g. authentication) to decide what view to show. Once that's done, a view is shown. Now, that view also needs access to the user info I had

I maintain an Eclipse RCP application launched with WebStart. Java 7 u45 made some security changes, and now my application crashes on startup. I've added to the manifest: Permissions: all-permissions Codebase: * Trusted-Library: true This removed all of the warning messages from the Control Panel. But I still have a classloader issue when trying to load my IApplication implemenentation, probably the first of my classes to load. This is new to update 45. I have experienced the same issue and managed to solve it by doing following: In all manifest files (for each JAR in your RCP project) add

How to create new Eclipse RCP project using Maven ( preferably m2eclipse )? I read that there's plug-in for Maven that have idea about Eclipse. ( Maven Eclipse Plugin ) And then it looks like I need to find some Maven Archetype to create Eclipse RCP project, but I could not. At this point I am in doubt if I go right way. I just want to use maven dependencies resolution and other features in my RCP application development. P.S. I found that it is possible to "Enable Dependency Management" via m2eclipse. The other option is to make 2 project: maven project and Eclipse RCP project that will

I am new to to Eclipse RCP and SWT/JFace. I intend to purchase the Second Edition of the well known Eclipse Rich Client Platform book by Jeff McAffer, Jean-Michel Lemieux, Chris Aniszczyk. I wish to know from people who have read any of the editions of the book whether the book serves as a good introduction to both the topics (RCP and SWT/JFace)? Or would I need separate reading material for SWT/JFace? I read the first edition of the book in 2007 when I started a project with Eclipse RCP development. It was a really useful introduction on how to build RCP applications and what concepts are

I need to customize the look & feel of my RCP application. I took a look at Eclipse Presentation API and I suppose it allows to customize everything in workbench except controls. So is there any solution to customize controls? I made some research work and implemented some ad-hoc SWT cunstomization using control canvas drawning. May be there are better solutions? In Swing you can use Synth theme. It would be great if some 'skin' framework exists for SWT. One way of customizing an RCP app is by using a plugin_customization.ini file. Like this: Create a new file called "plugin_customization.ini"
