Project Explorer in RAP [message #825008]

Hello,

my question is if in general the Project Explorer is supported in RAP. For example the outline view works perfectly for me, but when I tried the the following code I receive this Error on startup:
"View descriptor not found: org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer"

public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
	layout.setEditorAreaVisible(true);
	layout.addPerspectiveShortcut(ID_PERSPECTIVE);
			
	IFolderLayout left = layout.createFolder("left", IPageLayout.LEFT, (float)0.1, layout.getEditorArea());
	left.addView(IPageLayout.ID_PROJECT_EXPLORER);
			
	IFolderLayout right = layout.createFolder("right", IPageLayout.RIGHT, (float)0.70, layout.getEditorArea());
	right.addView(IPageLayout.ID_OUTLINE);

I tried to add the navigator plugin to the target platform, but this bundle requires org.eclipse.ui which requires jface and so on.

I am happy for any help here.

Thanks in advance.
Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
there is a RAP port of CNF in the incubator. See this bug for more details:

Hello Ivan,
thanks a lot for the fast reply.

I imported the navigator plugin from cvs and also had a look at the usage example provided at the bug page. In the usage example they extend CommonViewer and set up their own navigator with a content provider and so on.

Is this what you are pointing to? I just want to clarify this before I put a lot of effort in coding my own project explorer and afterwards I get to know that there was an easier way.

Regards
Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
sorry, but I'm not familiar with CNF and I can't help you much.
Best,
Ivan

Bernhard,

the Project Explorer (quite naturally) has a dependency on
core.resources. The single-workspace-concept of the resources plug-in
doesn't make much sense in RAP. In most cases you'd probably want to
have one workspace per use. Please search this forum for further
discussions on this topic.
This is why the Project Explorer isn't available in RAP. Where Ivan
pointed you to is the Common Navigator Framework (on which the Project
Explorer is based).
