The approach outlined in this article can easily be used as a starting point for the implementation of arbitrary multi-page editor solutions that contain GMF-based graphical editors.

Some complexity is accidental, so we continually strive to remove its overhead from our application. The latest crop of frameworks and dynamic languages has demonstrated just how far simple implementations can go. However, many applications have an essential complexity that cannot be further reduced without sacrificing end-user functionality or integration.

If you are a debug provider for one of these languages, then you probably have a requirement to provide support for debug-time memory inspection and manipulation. The Eclipse debug framework provides a Memory View, along with an extensible framework to simplify and standardize this task. This article introduces the Memory View and describes how to add your own customized memory support. Categories: Debugging, Embedded, Memory View Eclipse Corner Article

| The Model Development Tools Object Constraint Language (MDT OCL) project provides the building blocks for Model-Driven tools to weave OCL declarative specifications into software artifacts. We showcase some of these possibilities, taking as starting point a plug-in to visualize OCL abstract syntax trees (ASTs) in the form of annotated trees. This example motivates some practical tips about patterns for OCL visitors, including using Java 5 generics and achieving conciseness by letting MDT OCL take care of the "walking" order. To really reap the benefits of OCL-enriched specifications, tools in our modeling chain have to be able to transform such expressions into the target software platform (e.g. compile into Java, translate into SQL). Work in this area is summarized, to ease jump-starting your own OCL processing project. Categories: Model-Driven Development (MDD), Modeling, Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) Eclipse Corner Article

Similar to the Snippets view that comes with the Web Tools Project, this plug-in allows you to drag and drop pieces of code into the editor. We follow object-oriented best practices so the snippets can be loaded from any source, such as a database (like Apache Derby), filesystem, or Web service.

| Swing and SWT are sometimes seen as strictly competing technologies. Some people have strong opinions on which UI toolkit to use exclusively for client applications. However, in the real world, ideological extremes are often impractical. Some valid use cases require both technologies to coexist in a single application. While mixing the two toolkits is not a simple task, it can be done, and it can be done such that the two toolkits are smoothly integrated. This article discusses the steps necessary to achieve good Swing/SWT integration. It focuses on the use case of embedding existing Swing components into an SWT-based Rich Client Platform application.

| The Declarative Services (or "DS") specification is one of the newest parts of OSGi, and it came about as a result of some of the issues with wiring together service across bundles. It's not that this task is difficult but it does require a fair amount of boilerplate code. It also requires you to be cautious about threading issues, which means you can easily shoot yourself in the foot. Categories: Equinox, OSGi EclipseZone Article

| Eclipse is designed as a modular platform, with the ability to install and use plug-ins to extend the core functionality. To achieve this, Eclipse is built upon OSGi, a open modular system for Java with six years of commercial use behind it. Although this is a necessary part of Eclipse's modularity, it's enhanced through the use of the extension registry and extensions/extension points.

It features some widgets, such as the CDateTime widget, that draw their own interfaces. It also includes widgets, such as CompositeTable, that let you use existing SWT widgets in new ways. In all, the Nebula widgets address areas that in the past have been major holes in the feature set of widgets available in the SWT API. Categories: SWT, Nebula DeveloperWorks Tutorial

| Working sets are static filters for resources. You define a working set as a list of resources (files, for example) and then only those resources are shown. For example, if you want to work in project A, and see project B for reference, you don't want to have your Package Explorer cluttered with the rest of the alphabet. By default, Eclipse offers working sets for Resources, Breakpoints, Java Resources and Plug-ins. If you have your own plug-in, and some view in it can be cluttered with information, you may want to define your own working set type, and filter your view based on it. This article aims to describe how to add a new resource type to the working sets already defined in Eclipse. (Note: This article was developed and tested against Eclipse 3.2.)
