eclipse-rcp

I exported my eclipse plugin through the "Export Wizard" in the manifest and seems like everything went well (no errors). It created a .jar file within a plugin directory in a zip file. I thought putting the jar into my Eclipse plugin directory would install it (after re-launching eclipse) but that didn't work.

I need to add an import wizard into my eclipse-rcp app. For that I would like to use existing wizard with only my categories. I found couple of examples in the Internet, but they didn't help much.

How do I get the name of the current eclipse project? I'm in a GMF view and need the projectname when some submenu of the popup menu ist used. This GMF class has a straightforward answer, if you have access to the ResourcesPlugin name: IProject project = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject(myBundleName); The generic answer (from a potentially outdated code ) could be like (if you have an editor opened): IEditorPart editorPart = getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor(); if(editorPart != null) { IFileEditorInput input = (IFileEditorInput)editorPart

In Eclipse RCP, I am creating views for the Perspective using IPageLayout.addView(...) But this way I don't have a reference to the view. Therefore I don't know how I can tell ViewA to update ViewB. What's the best pattern to use here? DJ. Besides what VonC has mentioned above, you can also use ISourceProviderListener if the changes you need are not triggered by selection. Have ViewB implements ISourceProviderListener Create an implementation of ISourceProvider and register it in the services Have ViewA get the ISourceProvider and update it to trigger the changes in ViewB Read the
