Dynamic plugin loading in RCP [message #437633]

Hi All,

We have two application which are display and admin tool. They are all
based on RCP.

My question is :

Is there any convenient way I can perform to swith between them? I think
they are application based on RCP 3.0 runtime core, if we can dynamic
switch from one do another, that will be great. And will be very easy to
integrate two application wrotten by RcP together. That might be the
reason we choose RCP to write application.

Thank you very much!

You should be able to do this without too many problems. All you need to do is ensure that the two components are set up as features, then install both feature sets into the one RCP app. It should be as easy as activating a new perspective to be able to switch between them; though rather than having the Open Perspective menu it might be easier for your users to have an Action that opens a new perspective.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your help.

I just lanch them in the single RcP, and switch perspective. But one
problem occurs, only the view switch. Tool bar and menu bar still live
there.....

That's almost certainly because you've created the actions as 'global' actions, which are visible in any perspective. It's also possible to create actions that are specific to a single perspective (or, for a single view). If you were to associate all your 'admin' actions with the 'admin' perspecive(s), then they'd only be visible when the admin perspective visible.

This is why (for example) the Java perspective has Java-specific actions like 'Source' that are not visible in the Resource perspective.
