Hi,
while rewriting my old "E3" application as native E4 application, I do
missing some esteemed features.
Default JFace resources:
The good old E3 workbench, does initialize some JFace resources like
the predefined colors used from at
org.eclipse.jface.viewers.StyledString (COUNTER_STYLER,
DECORATIONS_STYLER and QUALIFIER_STYLER)
At the E3 workbench, these colores will set from the presentation
engine, but E4 does nothing.
Exist's a plan to integrate this into the E4 workbench or have I write
my own functions for this?
Shared Images:
The old E3 workbench provides shared images simply requestable by a String.
I know E4 has the org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.IResourceUtilities, but
there you can only request ImageDescriptors based on EMF URI's.
Exist's a plan to integrate something like a "ISharedImageService" into
the E4 workbench or have I write my own functions for this?
SelectionDialogs:
Inside the old E3 workbench plugin, exits some nice dialogs like
ListDialog, ListSelectionDialog, CheckedTreeSelectionDialog ...
Because I often use these dialogs, I have exported the sources and does
change all needed points, to use it inside a native E4 application.
Is there an interesting to add these dialoges into the
org.eclipse.e4.workbench.swt (or an other) plugin?
If true, I'm willing to contribute this (as first draft).
Greetings
Heiko

No plans yet but you can get something much more prowerful with e4 where
images are disposed automagically when not referenced any more.
See for examples:

you can take a look at the e4xmi tooling which makes heavy use of it

Yes there where already plans for this but nobody had the time, I'd say
post to e4-dev
