How to add PropertySheet to RCP application? [message #461087]

Hi,

In my RCP application, I want to use the PropertySheet, first, I wrote the following code in my Perspective class:

public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(true);
IFolderLayout right = layout.createFolder("right", IPageLayout.RIGHT, 0.29f, layout.getEditorArea());
right.addView("org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.PropertySheet ");

}

when it launchs, an exception occurs:
Exception in org.eclipse.ui.internal.FolderLayout.addView(String): org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException: View descriptor not found: org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.PropertySheet
Reason:
Exception in org.eclipse.ui.internal.FolderLayout.addView(String): org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException: View descriptor not found: org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.PropertySheet

So, I think I need to declare that I need the org.eclipse.ui.views, so, I add it in the dependencies page and try again, but this time it even can not launch.

I guess I should declare the views extension in the extensions page, so I did, but in vain.

I am confusing, how to use the propertySheet?

Thanks. Robin

You'll need to add the org.eclipse.ui.views bundle, and then click on 'add required bundles'. It's also a good idea to have a checkbox 'validate configuration prior to launch' selected by default. Both of those are found on the launch configurations window, which you can get to by Run -> Run... or Debug -> Debug...

You'll also need to add that as a dependency to your RCP application to ensure that ti's started when the app comes up.

Thank you.

By your advice, I found my mistake: the ID descriptor string for PropertySheet not includes 'properties'.

Thank you very much.
