Eclipse as background for app [message #36850] Mon, 02 December 2002 13:46 Go to next message

Hi,

I would like to develop the app in SWT but basically SWT is missing jface
(docking framework) from eclipse
as well as GEF cannot be that easily standaloned.


My question is: Is it possible to use an eclipse as a background for an
application.

Just remove all the stuff such as compiling and stuff and write only own
jface windows and dialogs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Since I've spotted that eclipse is build from plugins i found this could be
theoritically possible.

I'm not shure what you mean with that.
Do you want all the nice features from eclipse
e.g the plugin, resource, perspective,view ..... mechanism but not the
developer centric things like the java ide?

Than theres no no problem.
A small note about stripping eclipse is here:
<"http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/144.edit">
But for starting you can just write your own views, editors, perspective
and try it out. Its pretty easy once you got familiar with the concepts.

Otherwise if you just want to have an app only having a standalone jface
window i didn't tried it out
<wild guess>
but i think its also no problem if its worth the time.
but its more complicated since you need to figure out how to make thinks
independent from the eclipse framework e.g. the EditorInput
</wild guess>
maybe someone has some experience in that thing.
