[ZEST] Plugin View Example [message #246027]

Hi,
i want to make a graph Visualization from a UML Model. The Part to get
the Information from UML is already done. But i dont know to put this
together for a Plugin with a View. The Incubator Visualization is too
complicated for me. Has anyone a simpler Example for me?
Thank you and sorry for my english!
Peter

Peter,

Understanding Eclipse plug-ins can be a bit tricky. Have you stepped
through a simple plug-in Example. If you create a Plug-in project, and
select a template (a plug-in with a view), this should help get you
started. Of course, this is not a graphical plug-in, but the PDE viz
was based on this. Once you understand this, you can see how Zest fits
into the picture. (See the Zest snippets for other Zest examples).

cheers,
ian

Sounds like it's looking for icons that are not present in your setup. You should check out the entire project, not just the source files (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/CVS_Howto).

thank you for your answer
I realised that the problem lay in the icons but I've downloaded the 3 images and I've put them at the root of my project . But the problem is that I forgot the "/" when writing the path of my icon Very Happy

again thank you so much
