CellEditor in Properties view [message #104685]

I found that the classes org.eclipse.jface.viewers.CellEditor and
org.eclipse.jface.viewers.DialogCellEditor as well as the method
PropertyDescriptor.createPropertyEditor() do not exist in RAP. This limits
the customization options for the Properties view very much since I cannot
pop up any dialogs. It there a workaround in RAP for this?

Felix,

JFace Cell Editors are planned. They will probably be available in
1.2 M3.
Check back on the plan [1] for updates.

Cheers,
Rüdiger

Hi,

Sorry to hijack this thread but in the light of this plan.

I read there that you want to close the gap between RWT and SWT, do you
also plan to close the gap to e.g. JFace-Databinding where some of the
methods available like SWTObserval#observeDelayed are not available in
RAP? I noticed this when i tried to RAPify my EMF/Teneo/CDO-Databinding
application [1].

Would it e.g. help RAP if those bundles are switched to import-package
instead of require-bundle?

Another related question is how to best setup a project so that it runs
on both platforms. I tried using import-package but failed and now
switched to Require-Bundle but marked the rap/rcp ones as none mandatory.

We aim to *reduce* the gap between RWT and RWT. Closing it is an
unrealistic goal for 1.2.
The SWTObservables#observeDelayedValue() relies on
Display#timerExec() which is yet missing from RWT. Once timerExec()
is in place it should be an easy task to enable its use in
JFace-Databinding. Implementing timerExec() is currently not on our
plan. Feel free to file an enhancement request and we will try to
squeeze it in if time permits.

Frank is currently working compiling material about RCP/RAP
single-sourcing. We will publish its availability on the common
channels.
