Hi,
I am trying to build my own eclipse data based RCP application, and for
that I need some basic functionality. It needs to connect to the DB, so I
would like to re-use some of DTP's plugins. I just need a view within
which I can create new profiles, connect/disconnect, and browse database
objects. I know the existing DTP plugin already does that. What I wanted
to know is which plugin to use as the starting point so that I can build
my application on top of it.

I tried using org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.generic, but it fails
to load because its missing some dependencies, however,
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity and
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui load just fine.

Can I use the org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui.dse as the starting
point? Will it provide me with all the necessary functionalities. Can
someone point me to a an example usage of the dse plugin.

Thanks for all the help,

Regards,
Rahul Pilani

Hey Rahul,

You'll need pretty much everything in org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity
with the exception of the oda and derby plugins (unless you want derby
support). You'll also need the plugins in org.eclipse.datatools.modelbase
as well.

For specific DB support, you can mix and match plugins from
org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.

This will get you a fully functional DSE complete with visualation of the
SQL models (i.e. schemas, tables, columns, etc.).

Hope that helps.

Sincerely,
Rob Cernich
