Hello,
I've tried to get the forms toolkit enabled on OS X based on this
article and failed:
http://www.eclipse.org/vep/WebContent/docs/newAndNoteworthy/ 1.2-M2/
I'm not familiar in designing RCP applications but I would like to start
now together with this great looking GUI builder tool.
I felt inspired as I've seen the layouts on and read about the new
capabilities for VEP on OS X and generally.
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Forms/article.html
Could someone point me what the first steps are to get VEP and forms
toolkit together?
What kind of project I have to create? I guess it should/must be a
plugin project and within there a viewpart class has to create?
Afterwards a plugin dependency has to linked to an additional created
project with the source of org.eclipse.ui.forms ?
Sorry for my confusion, actually I'm only experienced in creating swt
applications with jface.
I guess I have to study basics first, some links and orders would be
appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Andreas

I tried using Forms last night on OS X and everything worked as
expected. To use forms, create a new plug-in project, make sure that
you select the plug-in makes UI contributions check. When the plug-in
descriptor file opens when the wizard finishes, switch to the
Dependencies tab, and add a dependency to the org.eclipse.ui.forms
plug-in and save the file.
Then create a new Visual Class extending JFace Viewers or Editors, or
SWT Shell or Composite, and the Forms elements will show on the palette.
Hope this helps,
- Jeff
