Hey all,
Sorry to ask such a basic question, but now that I finally got the hang of
creating a plugin and seeing it work (simple hello world plugin) in the
runtime workbench, I would like to make it into a wizard. Basically, I want
my plugin to provide a menu item and toolbar button (which it does now) that
when clicked, pops up a wizard with a couple of pages. At the end, it will
do some work, generate some template classes, etc. Just like a Plugin-In
wizard generates the plugin project, classes, plugin.xml, etc.
Can someone shed some light on where I can get some help doing this? I am
not at all familiar with SWT, or how to do the dialog, wizard pages, input
boxes, etc. I do see the .wizard package, so I am sure I'll use that. Just
not sure where to go from there.
One other point... I'd like to make this work as a stand-alone Swing app as
well, so is it possible to use Swing for the whole thing, as opposed to SWT?
We have some developers using JBuilder still, and may not migrate to Eclipse
for a while, so it needs to be both a plugin and a stand-alone, therefore
using Swing for the whole thing would be great. Is it possible to make the
menu/toolbar pop up my Swing dialog and go from there?
Thanks.

Hmm... nobody knows how to create a Wizard within a plugin? I can't seem to
find any specific docs on the topic.

those that don't have eclipse. For now, I prefer to use a Wizard component I
already have that is done in Swing. I am not looking to integrate Swing
components on the menubar, toolbar, etc. What I would like to do is just
display a Swing dialog and from there let it do its thing in Swing. Is this
possible?

from what i understand this may be a work in progress - i have heard of
numerous people doing a swt-to-swing or swing-to-swt composite\panel. i
myself have not taken that much notice cause i made the full transition to
swt. here are a few links:
http://chrriis.brainlex.com/projects/swtswing/index.html
this is a good one for all your general swt questions:
http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/2
some swt gui editors:
http://www.swt-designer.com/
http://www.swtworkbench.com/index.shtml
there is a class - org.eclipse.swt.internal.awt.win32.SWT_AWT that enables
calling awt from swt although i have not used and so can not comment.
mabye try searching the swt newsgroup - there has been lots of discussion on
this and you may find some good links - just do this through the eclipse
site search.

Thanks. I figured it out though, in that I simply create a new JDialog right
from the plugin, and it works. It goes outside the MDI Eclipse, but I can
live with that. I basically just needed to be able to use Swing, and tie it
into the IDE so that it can be launched from there.
