primary stage vs window stages? [message #1186279]

Hi efxclipse community..

I have got a question concerning the stage objects in org.eclipse.fx:

E4Application.createE4workbench: adds the primaryStage to the top level eclipse context
It appears, this stage is never shown?

Windows in the e4xmi model are rendered with a Window renderers, which also create stage objects. DefWindowrenderer.WWindowImpl.createWidget does this and adds the stage to the window's Eclipse context. This stage is shown, when the window is made visible

What's the point of having the primary stage being in the context if its never used? Just being a dummy?

Thx for some enlightenment,
Bernhard

Hi,

Yes as of today it is only a dummy and not used. Treat it as it is not
in the context. I've put it there because was not sure if I'll need it
in the IPresentationEngine.
