Is there an example of using Red Deer with a (non Eclipse) E4 Application? [message #1769872] Fri, 04 August 2017 06:45 Go to next message

I have already read https://github.com/eclipse/reddeer/wiki/Getting-Started
(and some other e.g. https://dzone.com/articles/red-deer-recorder) but all seem to target for an Eclipse-Install, is there an example of using RedDeer with a (prebuild) E4 application instead of using the current Eclipse Workspace as a basis?

Especially the Recorder would be usefull it starts if I choose Eclipse as the Apllication to record but if I choose my own product it simply do not show up. Do I need to first install SWTBot like described here (https://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Generator#I_want_to_record_on_an_existing_application.2C_without_IDE) and RedDeer (what features are required for this?) or do I need to choose a completly different aproach?

I got it running now to record events, but sadly I encountered the following Exception now:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet.

According to this https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/490073/ it seems for some reason eclipse 3.x API is called, does Reddeer (Version 1.2.1) not support E4 or is something missing in my setup?
