GEF Simple Doubts!
by aatish

Rate this Message:
Hi, I am very new to GEF. I am on a mission to make a Graphical Editor. My first step is to make something similar to Shapes Diagram example/ Database Schema Editor. That is, I want to make a plugin which opens and works inside the Eclipse. I don't want to make a standalone application. I have the source code of Database Schema Editor but there is no plugin.xml from which I can learn how to make a plugin. Please help me, guys. It is very urgent.
Thanks a lot, Aatish

This isn't really a GEF developer question. I would suggest in future
that you ask generic Eclipse development questions in the eclipse.newcomer newsgroup [1] or in #eclipse on Freenode [2]. That said... have you tried the Hello World wizards?

Thanks for your reply.
I did try the Hello World thing. But, I don't know how to customize it according to my needs. I am currently using the RCP template for creating the rich graphical interface. But that opens as a stand alone application and all the figures are seen in that stand alone app. Can you please tell me what changes should be made in that basic Hello World template so that my editor runs inside eclipse. Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it. -Aatish

Hi,
I have asked people out there. Few of them responded but no body knows the solution to it, i.e. to make a plugin which runs inside Eclipse and not as a standalone app. If you know then please help me. It is urgent! Thanks a lot, Aatish

All the hello world generated plugins will run in Eclipse, not as a
standalone app. Just export them using File > Export into a jar and you can install them into your downstream target's Eclipse. For testing, however, you will still have your development Eclipse (where the sources are) + a second Eclipse (where you test the plugins you just built). Maybe you accidentally checked a box on the wizard for "RCP?" If you don't want to export each plugin using File > Export, you could build an update site and publish the URL so people can get your bits that way. Or use Athena [1].

Aatish,
These mailing lists are meant for developer discussions, that is, those developing GEF. Your question is a general question about Eclipse Plug-in Development, and Nick's suggestion of the newcomer newsgroup is a great one. There are also a number of tutorials and books on the subject of Plugin and RCP development. A quick google search for "Eclipse Plugin Development" reveals at least 6 relevant articles (on the first page). (Have you read these?) There are also a number of books on the subject. http://www.eclipse.org/community/books/ As an aside, if you are telling people to hurry up and answer because "it is urgent", you are likely to get very little help. Many people volunteer here on their own time (when they could be spending time with their families, working on their garden, etc...). When you say things like "It is urgent", you are essentially saying that your problems are more important than the problems of others. This attitude will not get you very far. I would suggest reading through some of the introductory articles on Plugin Development, and maybe even go through the RCP book. This will bring you up to speed on Plugin development. In your particular case, you will want to look for information about contributing new views and editors to Eclipse. Good luck, Ian On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 3:21 PM, aatish <aatish.mandelecha@...> wrote:
