Hi

I like to use the palette in a standalone swt application. Since I have
no clue how to do that, I looked for some examples and found this page
with some helloWorld examples. Unfortunately I am not able to get those
to run. Eclipse keeps on telling me this :

The type org.eclipse.ui.part.EditorPart cannot be resolved.
It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Any idea, whats wrong ? BTW, the gef.jar is in the classpath.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Chances are that that example is quite old and hasn't been updated for
Eclipse 3.0 (where several packages were re-orged).

Add this to your plugin.xml and see if that makes a difference:
<import plugin="org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility" optional="true"/>

Eclipse.org has a migration guide to convert pre-3.0 plug-ins to be 3.0
compliant. Check that out. Also, if you right-click on the plugin.xml in
Package Explorer, you can go to PDE -> Migrate to 3.0.

If all you want to do is learn about the palette, why don't you try one of
the examples supported by GEF?

Thanks, I will try that.

Well, I was actually looking for a very simple implementation of a
palette somewhere, but all I found were those 2.x examples. All 3.x
examples are just plugins and as easy to understand,... guess I have
to go through these again.

To bad there are no such easy snippets available as they are for swt.
