Hi Tim.

There are three possible repos that you'd need to check out, depepdning on what you're trying to do:

http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.tools.git hosts the Eclipse 4 tools, like the model editor, the CSS editor, and the CSS spy.

http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git is the Platform UI code base. The Eclipse 4 platform has been merged into this repository since last year.

http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui.git is the old Eclipse 4 code -- it has since graduated from the e4 incubator and been merged into the Platform UI code base. This repository is effectively obsolete.

What are you trying to do?

Thanks for your answer Brian!

I want to reuse the e4 Quick Search in my application.
First I have to check out the required code, I think it's the repo: eclipse.platform.ui.git
What target platform I have to use for this bundles?

Right -- you want the platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git repo. If you develop using 4.2, you won't need to worry about setting up a target platform for the next while as everything will be based on 4.2. Or put another way, your 4.2 installation is the target platform for now.

Brian.

As Brian mentioned, the Eclipse 4.2 SDK will provide the correct target platform for you to work with the bundles in eclipse.platform.ui.git.

You want to start off by importing org.eclipse.ui.workbench, that's where the Quick Access/Search Field code is.
