I'm running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and wan't to access the Display from the activator in an OSGi bundle. Below is the start method for my activator: @Override public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { ExecutorService service = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(); service.execute(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { Display display = Display.getDefault(); Shell shell = new Shell(display); Text helloText = new Text(shell, SWT.CENTER); helloText.setText("Hello SWT!"); helloText.pack(); shell.pack(); shell.open(); while (!shell.isDisposed()) { if (!display

How to change the title (last part of it) of a running Eclipse? I am speaking about Eclipse distribution itself, not about my program written for Eclipse. Currently I have the the following title: 1 this part is set in Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> Workspace name . Other parts are autogenerated. I want to change part 2 which is now Eclipse . I have several Eclipses installed and want to refer them here. UPDATE I found file plugin.xml inside ./plugins/org.eclipse.epp.package.standard_XXXXX and found it containing a setting <property name="appName" value="Eclipse"> </property>

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

It's my first time to develop an RCP application with Eclipse 3.8. My question may seem weird but it is really confusing for me. Where can I put the code for my application? If I create the needed classes for my app where can I use their objects? In the Application.java class? I'm confused, and Internet tutorials focus only on the visual aspect and SWT, not on how to code. An eclipse RCP application is basically an eclipse plugin. I suggest starting off with an RCP application based on a simple template (e.g., the Hello World template). To create such an application, create a new plug-in

I want to add a new filter to the Project Explorer, to hide from the user some projects that are created automatically in an Eclipse RCP Application. So far I've found two extension points: org.eclipse.ui.ide.resourceFilters Allows me to filter Navigation org.eclipse.jdt.ui.javaElementFilters Allows me to filter the Java Viewers I expect there is a similar extension point for the Project Explorer, but so far I haven't had any luck getting it. I tried importing org.eclipse.ui.navigator and org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources but I could not find any interesting looking extension point either I

Does anyone have experience in building an application based on Eclipse RCP with Gradle ? I'd like especially to know: How reasonable is it to build Eclipse RCP plugins and products with Gradle? Are there any Gradle plugins to achieve this task (like the Tycho plugin for Maven)? Do you know any tutorials or articles describing such an approach? Questions is three years old, nevertheless... Here is the solution: https://github.com/akhikhl/wuff there is a pdePlugin available for Gradle written by Gregory Boissinot. The plugin is available at https://github.com/gboissinot/gradleplugins .
