This management requires some form of persistence, however a "channel" storage of these information. In fact, in most cases it should be possible, for example: reload the data stored during a previous run or share data with other instances [...]

Tutorial: an Application for showing SWT Examples

In this tutorial we will create an application in order to test the features of the Standard Widget Tootlkit (SWT) library. The figure below shows what the result will look like. INTRODUCTION First we will create a minimal RCP application, using the Plug-in Project creation Eclipse Wizard. The next step will consist into adding a third-party view (SWT Examples, from the Eclipse download site) to our minimal RCP application just created. The result will be an application that will allow us to test deeply all of the SWT library features. The main goal of this tutorial is show how easy [...]

Managing menu items visibility

In order to manage the visibility of a menu item we can extend AbstractSourceProvider. Let's see how to do that. First of all we have to create a class that extends AbstractSourceProvider. This class is intended to hold the state variable and provide it to the platform when needed. In this example we intend to manage the visibility of a menu item depending on the user profile. [java] package com.rcpvision; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; import org.eclipse.ui.AbstractSourceProvider; import org.eclipse.ui.ISources; public class SessionSourceProvider extends AbstractSourceProvider { public final static String SESSION_USER_CAN_SEE_PREFS = "com.rcpvision.session.user-can-see-preferences"; private final static String CAN_SEE = "canSee"; private final [...]
