Hi to all, i am working with eclipse oxygen, i download pydev 6.3.2 and this was added to eclipse.

Now i want add Pydev in my custom rcp application, i read vogella book but i can't figure out how do this.

I'm not intimately familiar with the structure of PyDev, but I'm pretty sure it will be based around the org.eclipse.ui.ide framework, at a minimum. There may be separation between ".core" (setting up and executing Python) and ".ui" (UI views, preferences, etc. to configure PyDev).

So how you go about doing this rather depends on your RCP app. Are you shipping a custom IDE (e.g., based on org.eclipse.ui.ide)? If so, you might just be able to include the PyDev features into your product. PDE's Ctrl-Shift-A (Open Artifacts) is great for exploring what features and bundles exist in your target platform; my guess is that the PyDev features are `org.pydev.*`.

If your RCP app is not an IDE-like app, then embedding support for Python will be more difficult. You might be best approaching Fabio, the developer of PyDev, and seeing what can be done.

Brian.

Hi Brian, thanks for the answer.

I have a e3 rcp application with Pydev Perspective already working but i want updated the technologies that i am working now that is i why start with e4.

In e3 i add the pydev plugins trougth Windows, Preferences, Plug-in Development, Target Platform.
Then i added in Dependence Tab in plugin.xml the "com.python.pydev.*"
Last step was create an button and in the handler put the next code

public class ShowPydevPerspective extends AbstractHandler 
{
	@Override
	public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException 
	{
		ViewUtility.OpenPerspective("org.python.pydev.ui.PythonPerspective");
		return null;
	}
}

When the app run and click on the button the pydev perspective appears with all the context.

I try to do the same steps in e4 but is not working.

Thanks.

Regards,

If you're still using the Eclipse Workbench APIs (org.eclipse.ui.*) then it should work fine. What error are you seeing?

Brian.

You should specify features, not bundles. Only use bundles when you have intimate knowledge of why particular bundles should be excluded: although p2 will normally install most dependencies, p2 may not be able to find decoupled dependencies that are expressed via mechanisms like OSGi services and the Eclipse Plugin registry. You probably want to include the `org.eclipse.platform` feature, which is the base for most IDEs, and then include the PyDev features.

I have no experience including PyDev in a different product. But the process I'd follow is:

Open your .product file in the PDE Product editor.
In the Overview tab, select "The product configuration is based > features"
In the contents tab, add org.eclipse.platform, and the org.pydev.* extensions.
Save and then select one of the Launch buttons in the upper right and test.
