| Die Implementierung von Enterprise-Eclipse-RCP-Anwendungen ist komplex und erfordert das Nachdenken über eine Vielzahl von Aspekten. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass es sich hier um eine noch relativ junge Technologie handelt, liegt noch keine Erfahrung auf breiter Basis vor, wie dies bei Java EE-Webapplikationen der Fall ist. Mit dieser Artikelserie soll dazu beigetragen werden, diesen Umstand zu ändern. Categories: Java EE, Enterprise, RCP Enterprise Eclipse RCP

You will also learn advanced techniques, including how to create custom wizards and section headers.

| Since Eclipse adopted the OSGi runtime in version 3.0, there has been some tension between the Extension Registry, which has been a feature of Eclipse from its beginning, and the Service Layer, which came from OSGi and pre- existed the involvement of Eclipse. The cause of the tension is that these two models overlap somewhat, and because they are both intended to solve very similar problems. However “the Devil is in the details”, and these two models are different enough to make it impractical for them to be merged. Therefore developers of Eclipse plugins and RCP applications need to make a choice between the two. Categories: Plug-ins, RCP, Equinox, OSGi, Extension points EclipseZone Article

switched Incremental Epic to a more comfortable base. However from the very start the plug-
in concept permitted a clean architecture.

| Eclipse has been enormously popular as a tooling platform. With the use of Eclipse as a Rich Client Platform (RCP), Eclipse made a step towards being a runtime platform. Now, with the emergence of Eclipse on the server, Eclipse clearly has leapt into the runtime world. So what makes Eclipse capable of adapting to these different environments – what makes Eclipse tick? Categories: RCP, Equinox, OSGi TSS Article

| Obfuscating RCP applications can be a challenge for a number of reasons. First, RCP applications are composed of many plugins that must be obfuscated at the same time. And second, classes often need to be excluded from obfuscation because they're referenced by plugin extensions or extension points. In this article the author takes you on a tour of the process they use to build and obfuscate a large-scale RCP application. Categories: Plug-ins, RCP, Obfuscation RCP Quickstart Article

| SWT and JFace are Eclipse's graphical libraries. They enable you to build nimble and powerful Java GUIs--but this is only the beginning. With Draw2D and the Graphical Editing Framework, you can go beyond static applications and create full-featured editors. And with the Rich Client Platform, you can build customized workbenches whose capabilities far exceed those of traditional interfaces.
SWT/JFace in Action covers the territory, from simple widgets to complex graphics. It guides you through the process of developing Eclipse-based GUIs and shows how to build applications with features your users will love. The authors share their intimate knowledge of the subject with you in a friendly, readable style.

| SWT's Image class can be used to display images in a GUI. The
most common source of images is to load from a standard file
format such as GIF, JPEG, PNG, or BMP. Some controls, including
Buttons and TreeItems, are able to display an Image directly
through the setImage(Image) method, but any control's paint
event allows images to be drawn through the callback's graphic
context. SWT's ImageData class represents the raw data making up
an SWT Image and determines the color for each pixel coordinate.
This article shows the correct uses of ImageData and Image,
shows how to load images from files, and how to achieve graphic
effects such as transparency, alpha blending, animation,
scaling, and custom cursors. Categories: SWT, User interface, RCP Taking a look at SWT Images

In this article the design and implementation of a view will be examined in detail. You'll learn how to create a simple view based on SWT, and a more advanced view using the JFace viewer hierarchy. We'll also look at ways to achieve good integration with many of the existing features in the workbench, such as the window menu and toolbar, view linking, workbench persistence and action extension.

stay in the API "sweet spot" to avoid the risk of being broken
as the platform and its APIs evolve. These general ground rules
are also recommended practice for plug-ins that must declare API
elements of their own. Categories: Plug-ins, RCP, Framework How to Use the Eclipse API

| Managing images in a large graphical application can be a
daunting task. Since modern operating systems such as Windows®
only support a small number of images in memory at once, an
application's icons and background images must be carefully
managed and sometimes shared between widgets. This article
describes the image management facilities provided by the
Eclipse Platform, along with some best practice guidelines to
keep in mind when writing your own Eclipse UI plug-ins. We
assume the reader already has a basic understanding of Eclipse,
the UI extension points defined by the Eclipse Platform, and the
Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT). Categories: SWT, User interface, Plug-ins, RCP Using Images in the Eclipse UI
