Integrating QT with Eclipse [message #1817941] Tue, 03 December 2019 07:23 Go to next message

Hello,

I have an Eclipse plugin and a QT app. Would it be possible to integrate inside the plugin? Meaning, the plugin can send/receive info from the app and vice-versa.

Thank you!

I don't know what you mean by 'send/receive info', but it should be theoretically possible to embed a QT app in a SWT widget. I don't have an answer how this exactly works, use your favorite search engine with 'embed into SWT'.

This is somewhat similar to how AWT can be embedded in SWT too, see SWT_AWT class.

Hi,

What I mean by 'send/receive info' is the ability to communicate back-and-forth between the Eclipse plugin and the QT application.

Eclipse -> QT example: I have an SWT Gui with a button. When pressed, it should communicate to QT that the button was pressed and the QT app should perform an action.

QT -> Eclipse: Same as above

Would this be possible? Spent a lot of time researching, but did not manage to find anything useful

Thank you!

If it are two independent applications, you are searching for something called Inter Process Communication (IPC) or Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). There are many solutions for that, but most involve opening a socket connection between the processes and receiving messages on that.
I don't know which protocol suits best to communicate between QT and Eclipse.

Maybe you are looking for something similar to Eclim http://eclim.org/index.html
