Hello all,
I've have a beautiful GMF application going - decent figures, honors
underlying EMF model (with the exception of a little strange DnD behavior -
see earlier post), working great within Eclipse - perfect so far.
Now I want to turn it into a stand-alone RCP application. I can't believe
how little information there is out there for creating a GMF RCP
application! Isn't anyone developing GMF products outside of the IDE? I
mean, GMF is awesome! There is so much cool stuff you can do with it!
Anyway, I've seen part 4 of the GMF tutorial which talks about creating a
GMF RCP - except - it has you create it as a "lite" pure-GEF application. I
went thru that, and my figures don't look as good - compartments turned into
labeled containers and my inner figures (defined as label figures) lost
their icons - not nearly as pretty as from within Eclipse.
So, has anyone successfully taken a GMF application - full blown, not
"lite" - and turned it into an RCP that runs just like it did from within
Eclipse? If so, it would be GREAT to hear from you. How did you do it?
Details please...
Thank you all!

At some point, we had a sample showing an RCP application using the
runtime + IResource dependency. The sample was using IResource
(workspace dependency) to store application private data; which was
hidden from the user. We hope to bring back that "lost" runtime RCP
sample in 2.0.
The runtime plug-in follows the convention used in Eclipse; ".ide" is
added to the name of plug-ins that depend on non-RCP class; except for
IResource in our case.
The generation tooling should support Runtime RCP in 2.0 (see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114200). In the meantime,
it should be possible to customize the generated code to hide any
unwanted .ide dependencies.

In the latest builds of gmf tooling you may create GenApplication
instance in gmfgen model and RCP application will be generated for you )))
But this feature is not complete yet and there will be minor compilation
errors / missing actions.

Hi,
Our eBPMN Designer and Talend Open Studio of our parteer are both based on
GMF and deployed in RCP. There are two things you should take care:
1. Filter unwanted Menu
2. Setting up the Application and its feature.
In fact, both are independent of the GMF.

Hi Yves,
The GMF Runtime team plans to look at completing RCP support in 2.0. We did
the initial work in 1.0, including marking non-RCP runtime plug-ins with
*.ide . As John says, we need to complete the documentation and testing
effort.
It would be helpful if you raised bugzillas for any issues you found when
creating your RCP application based on the GMF Runtime.
Cheers...
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
In fact, the issues I mentionned concerns only RCP, not GMF. Regarding the
pure GMF, I have reported several bugs and I will continue as usual.
Best regards
