Hi.
I want to build an application layout with SWT simlar the Eclipse one.
e.g. Java-perspective: left hand "package explorer", right hand "outline",
In concrete one application with 4 fixed sub-windows, with individuell
menues.
Unfortunatly I did not find a example and guess that a "tabfolder" do not
satiesfy my needs.
And as a newbie I'm lack of ideas.
thx
Hugo

Unfortunatly I forgot to mention that I have to use Eclipse 2.1.1. with
IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer 5.1.
When I'm right the RCP is shipped only since Eclipse 3.0.
"With previous version of Eclipse, this was possible but difficult,
especially when you wanted to heavily customize the menus, layouts, and
other user interface elements. That was because the "IDE-ness" of Eclipse
was hard-wired into it. Version 3 introduces the Rich Client Platform,
which is basically a refactoring of the fundamental parts of Eclipse's UI,
allowing it to be used for non-IDE applications."
I need to reach the layout with SWT.
any hints welcome :-)

To give some short hints, what Eclipse 2.1 is using for the GUI, have a
look at the .custom package in SWT. For example SashForms are used in
order to vertical / horizontal resize the ViewForms (which draw the 3D
Border, one is used for each "window" inside the IDE and have a title area
to place a header on the left and buttons on the right). The CTabFolder is
used to display CTabItems.
Hope that helps,
Ben

To build the layout works fine, but how to build a the tile-bar in each
view?
viewForm.setTopCenter( toolBar )
do not work.
thx a lot
