SWT app running as collection of plugins, not JARs? [message #498814] Wed, 18 November 2009 12:25 Go to previous message

(As this is my first post, if you could please point me elsewhere if I'm
in the wrong group with this...)

We've been working on an RCP app, but discovering that we're not
actually getting enough value or layout configurability with RCP views
and editors, while SWT/JFace seems to fit the bill nicely. However,
we'd still like to use the Eclipse plugin architecture, and start the
SWT app as a plugin, rather than completely standalone via 'java
-classpath' with a bunch of JARs. To do this, do I just need to replace
the 'Application.start' method that Eclipse normally provides (that
calls PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench())? Or is something else
required? Is there an example someplace that I can look at that does
this--uses plugins and SWT/JFace, but doesn't use the Eclipse Workbench?

Thanks!
Dave
