RAP e4 3.14 and clipboard [message #1832762]

Hello,

In the web site, it is written :
Clipboard support
Clipboard (read/write) support is now available for browsers based on Chromium - Chrome, Opera, Edge. There is limited support for Firefox (write only). Currently it is only possible to transfer plain text data. The implementation is using the same synchronous SWT org.eclipse.swt.dnd.Clipboard API, which is not supported when you run the application in JEE_COMPATIBILITY mode.

But org.eclipse.swt.dnd is not included the RAP e4 3.14 targert plugins.

How can I add clipboard supprot ?

Thanks

Clipboard clipboard = new Clipboard(Display.getDefault());
clipboard.setContents(new Object[] { "clipboard text" }, new Transfer[] { TextTransfer.getInstance() });
clipboard.dispose();

The problem is that Clipboard class is not receognized in RAP e4 3.14.

The plugins is missing. May be, it is only for RAP ?

I just stumbled across this entry just now...

The RAP/RWT implementation of the org.eclipse.swt.dnd.Clipboard class is part of the RWT bundle, i.e. https://git.eclipse.org/c/rap/org.eclipse.rap.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.rap.rwt/src/org/eclipse/swt/dnd/Clipboard.java, and therefore available in RAP out of the box. As soon as you require the RWT bundle, or import the above Java package in your MANIFEST:MF you should be fine.

Regards
Markus

Hello,

The link is not working...
RWT bundle is already added to my RAP e4 application and the package does not exist.

The forum software added an additional comma , at the end of the URL. If you remove ir, the URL is working. Here is the same URL, this time hopefully without , at the end:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/rap/org.eclipse.rap.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.rap.rwt/src/org/eclipse/swt/dnd/Clipboard.java

How did you "add" the bundle, i.e. how does the MANIFEST.MF look like in the bundle where you want to instantiate/use the Clipboard class?

Hello,

I have the package included.
I have tried again and it works.

The last problem is that support of clipboard is not included in the widget SWT Text

Thanks
