How to call dialogs and wizard declared in e4xmi-file ? [message #1453711]

Hello,

I was defining a multi-page (multi-part actually) wizard in my Application.e4xmi file and now I'm wondering how I can call this wizard, either in a declarative way or programmatically?

When I put it somewhere at the root of the xmi, it opens when starting the program, which is not a very interesting behaviour for a wizard. When I put it in a shared elements section, I don't know how open it: is there some EAP-service for this?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

P.S.
Neither the Eclipse 4 RCP book nor Eclipse Luna Help (nor some searching on the Web) says anything about declaring wizards (and dialogs too for that matter) in e4xmi-files. Is this something specific of efxclipse ?

Wizards are *NOT* yet supported by e(fx)clipse, nor are they in e4+SWT.

They are an experimental feature that was introduced in Luna but because
nobody stepped up to do an implementation for SWT (I made clear that I'm
not going to be the dumb one who will do this once more for free).

We could look into this for 1.2 / 2.0 of e(fx)clipse until then you see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=426111 but at the moment
it NOT very high on my list (at least without getting funding).

If you want to contribute something like this feel free to provide patches!
