eclipse-rcp

This is a general question but my current problem revolves around menu handling. In a normal plugin with contributes menu actions you would configure ActionSets etc in the plugin.xml configuration. This is obviously sensible. I am working on a RCP application (actually RAP) and I'm wondering if it's worth the effort to configure everything via plugin.xml. My plugin does not have to interact with an other unknown plugins so, theoretically, I have control. I can add menus and actions programmatically. I have been trying to configure a menu which contains a submenu. I have tried defining

Background My Eclipse RCP application is built using Tycho. It consists of multiple components (in the form of OSGi bundles/Eclipse plug-ins). One of these component contains the product file and materializes the product. There is a reactor POM at the application root, which builds all components in order, but I also want to build other components independently (using mvn deploy ) . Building such a single component works as follows: Retrieve the latest versions of all the component's dependencies from our company (p2) repository. Build the component. Deploy the component to our company

I'm currently evaluating maven to improve our build process. The building and creating of normal jar files works so far, although I'm not entirely happy with the Maven IDE. I'm now at that point, where all libs I need for our project are built, and I'm moving on to the Eclipse RCP projects. And now I'm not sure how to go on. There are some plugins I need to build first, before moving on to the actual RCP part. Therefore I have actually 3 problems. I want to build those plugins, the only real solution for that seems to be the maven-bundle-plugin: http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven

I want to implement a row deletion logic in a Nebula Nattable. This is what I plan to do: Add context menu to the Nattable which is described in http://blog.vogella.com/2015/02/03/nattable-context-menus-with-eclipse-menus/ Add an SWT Action to the menu which will implement the delete my question is, which is the best way to accomplish this: Should I delete the corresponding value from my data model and the table view is refreshed when I execute this.natview.refresh(); ? OR Should I get the rows from SelectionLayer and delete them (if so how do I do ?)? OR is there any default support for this

I have view which I am setting permanently on my perspective. This view can not be closed and can not be opened from Windows --> show views I struct to remove View from Windows --> view list. How would I achieve this? I tried your solution it is doing the things but it is also removing the view from perspective. Below are the steps I followed.. I have added the following view in plugin.XML <view allowMultiple="false" category="org.view.ui.IDECategory" class="org.view.ui.BannerInformationView" id="org.view.ui.BannerInformationView" name="BannerInfo" restorable="true"> </view> After this I have

I have created a pure Eclipse e4 rich client platform application application model. I created multiple perspectives using perspective stack, but I am unable to switch other perspective because there is no default perspective bar or switcher icon present in Eclipse e4. How to implement a perspective switcher in pure Eclipse e4? EPartService.switchPerspective will do the actual switch, but you will have to design and implement the UI. You could use a ToolBar in the window Trim Bar with buttons for each perspective. Alternatively a Combo as a Tool Control with a list of the perspectives, it is
