Hello Everyone

I am trying to figure out a way to take my GEF project and make it into an
RCP application. Hopefully so all I'll have to do is double click an exe
and my editor will be there. Anyone know of a way or any good examples /
tutorials for doing this?

Thanks,
MS

1. define a product extension contributes to
org.eclipse.core.runtime.products

2 let org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench be the application

3 configure the necessary properties(refer to Help) for the application
above.

4 define a product file through Eclipse wizard, then export it as
executable file after configuration.

5 double click as you like:)

please first go through this RCP tutorial
http://www.vogella.de/articles/RichClientPlatform/article.ht ml#editor_s1a

after this if you have knowledge of GEF then it wont be difficult at all to integrate GEF with RCP :)

So I made a product file, made "org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench" be my
application, I added all the required plugins, and everything was working
fine. I could double click on an exe and there would be my app.

But today after updating some functions (not related to the RCP) I export
again. Everything appears to work fine until I try to start my project.
I get this error message in the log:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench"
could not be found in the registry.

Anybody have any ideas / suggestions?
