I have a requirement to show a status indicator in the status bar of an Eclipse application. I can't contribute through the ApplicationWindowAdviser (another team owns the core product), but I feel sure that I should be able to contribute through an extension point. Despite much googling, I can't find anything describing how to do this. In the org.eclipse.ui.menuContributions extensions, use "toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.trim.status" as the locationURI. You can contribute commands/custom controls to the status bar. VonC A possible solution to check: You should be able to define a fragment in order

Now that eclipse 4.5 is out and the eclipse team decided to not build the so-called "delta-pack" anymore, I don'tknow how to perform a PDE headless build with ant.. Official PDE build documentation here http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?nav=%2F4_2_0 states that variable "baseLocation" should point to "the location of an eclipse install containing all the pre-built features and plug-ins that your product requires in features/ and plugins/ subdirectories" With v4.4, it was easy, this variable was pointing to the location of the unzipped delta-pack with all the platform specific stuff But

I'm using SWT (and Eclipse RCP) to render a table. My problem is that if I change the background of a cell (a ViewerCell in fact) I can see that it has the new color. My problem is that if I select a row in my Table or if I hover over the row containing my cell in question then the selection/hover background overrides my cell color. How can I override this? Problem solved with StyledCellLabelProvider. Tell me if you want to see some code. Edit: We use it do display validation errors so ignore the validation stuff here: public class ValidationCellLabelProvider extends StyledCellLabelProvider {

I have developed an RCP plug-in (not standalone), and a Java Project with library code that the plug-in needs to call. I have configured the Java Project in the same workspace. The plug-in has a project dependency on the Java Project. The code compiles (the plug-in does some stuff with the Java Project / library code). When I run the plug-in, I get a ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mycode.ArgSet at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClassInternal(BundleLoader.java:494) Anyone know how to configure the plug-in properly? Convert your library project

I am working on an Eclipse based RCP. We have a need to prevent one of the opened editors from being closed by the user. The desired behavior is: the user clicks the X in the editor window or "CTRL+W" a dialog pops up saying: "If you close this editor, your activity will stop. Do you want to?" if they click yes, it closes, if no, it stays open. Oh yeah, and is this even possible? Thanks, gk VonC You could use a org.eclipse.ui.ISaveablePart2 , more specifically the method promptToSaveOnClose() . However, as said in this thread , it will only be shown if the editor is dirty at the time it is

I would like to have a right aligned search field in the toolbar of an Eclipse RCP application. I already created the text field as ControlContribution and the respective search action in the ActionBarAdvisor class: protected void fillCoolBar(ICoolBarManager coolBar) { IToolBarManager toolbar = new ToolBarManager(SWT.FLAT | SWT.RIGHT); //... toolbar.add(new ControlContribution("searchText") { //... This works and I have the search field in the toolbar. But how can I align the search text (or the toolbar with the search text) on the right side? Thanks, Michael If you mean positioning search

I am developing an Eclipse RCP application, and am trying to use a ILazyTreeContentProvider implementation in order to show only the visible items at a certain time. The code: Inside the class extending ViewPart: public void createPartControl(Composite parent) { viewer = new TreeViewer(parent, SWT.MULTI | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.VIRTUAL); drillDownAdapter = new DrillDownAdapter(viewer); viewer.setContentProvider(new ViewContentProvider()); viewer.setLabelProvider(new ViewLabelProvider()); //viewer.setSorter(new NameSorter()); viewer.setInput(getViewSite()); // Create the help context
