Yeah this question turns up often, turns out the patch won't work for
various reasons, mainly the DetachedWindow class no longer extends
Window. I'm still working on trying to create a new patch, things do
not look promising at this point though.

I know it's not API and doesn't help with actually setting up a layout,
but there is a way to do it for specific releases of Eclipse
programatically (once eclipse is up and running).

WorkbenchPage page = WorkbenchPage)window.getActivePage();
page.detachView(IViewReference)

It's an internal method, so there's no gaurantee that it'll stay in that
class or form, but it works.

Thanks for the tip but it could not work with 3.1 or 3.2M1 due to
restrictions access on the required library
org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.2.0.jar .

Do you know if a public API will be offered in 3.2 to figure out that
issue ?

Stephane.

It's true that those APIs are restricted, but unless you activate some
kind of strict compliance, it won't prevent you from doing stuff.

My guess is no, monitor https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=70050

I assume that I should alter the MANIFET.MF for the Wrokbench Plugin ?

I don't believe so ... it should be giving discouraged access warnings,
but there's nothing that prevents it from compiling or running (unless
you somehow activate strict compliance).

Thanks Paul,

You don't also happen to know if there is a way to position and resize
the view after detaching using this methodology do you?

I don't remember seeing anything ... maybe you can get ahold of it's
detached window shell and resize and move that.

I do not have customized Eclipse. I am running Eclipse/RCP 3.2M2 win32
with JRE_1.5.0-04.
When I am lauching the RCP app, it warns me there are errors... Indeed,
when running I got exceptions...

ErrorLog :
java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
Discouraged access: The type WorkbenchPage is not accessible due to
restriction on required library
C:\outils\sdk\3.2M1\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench _3.2.0.jar
Discouraged access: The type WorkbenchPage is not accessible due to
restriction on required library
C:\outils\sdk\3.2M1\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench _3.2.0.jar
Discouraged access: The type WorkbenchPage is not accessible due to
restriction on required library
C:\outils\sdk\3.2M1\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench _3.2.0.jar

The discouraged access are not warnings but errors into the ErrorLog
Any idea to turn off strict compliance ?
