Hallo, All

Is anyone know how to achieve Swing JDesktopPane/JInternalFrame
functionality in SWT/JFace? Only similar i have found is IWorkbenchPage.
But it is not clear how (if it actually possible) to use it in
standalone application.

I will be appreciated for hints.

Thanks in advance,

Mikhail Galyutin.

Just use the rich client platform ( RCP ) of Eclipse, you can use the
view/editor system like the standard IDE too.

I believe MDI is supposed to show up in SWT at some point.

In the meantime, if you're happy limiting yourself to Windows platforms
you can use my implementation of MDI:

Hi,

Great library. Unfortunately, I do not plan to limit supported
platforms. Anyway, thanks a lot.

Thank you for your answer.

RCP is a great thing, but it forces to use eclipse runtime model.
In my case that means a lot of redesign.

Anyway, thanks for the tip.

Mikhail.

You could forget the eclipse plugin model and start your application
from the WorkbenchAdvisor... that way you have an eclipse framework in
the background and don't need to make your application compatible to the
plugin model. Maybe this could be a sollution for you.

I am not shure I know what you mean.

How can I start WorkbenchAdvisor? What have I put in static void main,
or have I still to use org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main?

Thanks,

Mikhail.

Hi,

I think I have found a solution: CTabFilder and CTabFolderListener.

If you are listening on itemClosed, then the Close button will be
displayed on a tab. This is exactly mechanism EditorWorkbook uses for
visualisation.

Many thanks to Alun and Henning Rogge for replays.

You could use the eclipse.exe file ( with a modified config.ini ).

Instead of your mstatic void main, your programm would contain:

public class ClientApplication implements IPlatformRunnable {
public Object run(Object args) {
WorkbenchAdvisor workbenchAdvisor = new ClientWorkbenchAdvisor();
Display display = PlatformUI.createDisplay();
int returnCode = PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(display,
workbenchAdvisor);

display.dispose();
if (returnCode == PlatformUI.RETURN_RESTART) {
return IPlatformRunnable.EXIT_RESTART;
}
else {
return IPlatformRunnable.EXIT_OK;
}
}
}

The run method you choose in config.ini is called by the eclipse.exe
starter, you create your own ClientWorkbenchAdvisor and start the
platform with it ( and your main task if necessary ).
