Good to hear from you. The best way to learn everything regarding eclipse RCP development is to stick on to the RCP newsportal. I have found it very useful.
Learning curve is steep but its worth the effort. I believe Myeclipse has a GUI building tool, I haven’t used it though…

You look to be very expert in Eclipse RCP development. I am now initiating a product devlopment using Pure Eclipse Java platform. It will be using SWT, JFace and will be a stand alone RCP application.

My and my teams knowledge is very basic in RCP development. Can you suggest how we should start?Also suggestions about acquiring knowledge in RCP, SWT,JFace, any free or commercial GUI building tool, Multithreading models for high performance.

Iphone at ~32K is costly but its worth every penny. The cool interface, works as an ipod with excellent voice characteristics which no other brand can boast of. Remember a Nokia N 75 with very less features went for very good sales figures in India with a price tag close to 30K at start.They have addressed the video recording and other features which was missing in the original version.

I have nothing against Android.. it will be the future if Google plays its cards well…after all they are so good at doing that…they surprise people a lot .. Gmail is one example….

The competition is good as far as the consumers are concerned…more useful applications and goodies

Some good news – Samsung is coming up with Android phones soon. I personally opt G phones to I phones. Apple overprices their products.

Could you imagine paying Rs. 31,999/- for an iPhone?

Happy to know that the article was helpful to you.Have you defined the views you wanted in your custom perspective.Check everything once again to see whether you missed out anything. I will be able to help you if you can show me some part of the code where you defined your perspective etc.

i converted plugin project into rcp project but at the time of running project i am not able to see the project structure in my custom perspective view but able to see in java perspective package explorer.

Sorry that, I am so late to reply. .

And regarding your query.

# 1. Yup, it will work as far as I know. I haven’t tried this though.Logically, if you do that, you just need to click the “Add Required Plugins button” .

# 2. I truly agree that it is hard to find actions by looking through a plugin.xml file. I really don’t know whether any shortcuts or easy paths. Are you using the Plugin Manifest editor to view the file or opening plugin.xml in text editor from inside the eclipse? Former is much easier to understand what actions a plugin contributes.

I am very very sorry for the late reply.

I don’t know whether your issue is fixed or not.
Let me know. As such I dont know the solution to your query. I will give it a shot and find it for you if you are still looking for a solution.

Thanks,

Thank you for this article. It helps me a lot. Right now, I’m trying to convert the collab example in the new Eclipse Communication Framework (org.eclipse.ecf.example.collab) to an RCP. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with.

1. I see that you add the Mylyn plugins in the product configuration. Can I add it in the dependencies tab of the plugin.xml file?
2. How do I find the actions that a plugin contributes in its plugin.xml file? Take the collab example I’m wrestling with, it is so intertwined with others that I’m losing my way among them.

Thank you very much.
