Adding a view [message #449862] Tue, 23 May 2006 10:12 Go to next message

I'm having trouble adding a view to Eclipse 3.1.

Using the plug-in editor, I select the Extensions tab and click New. I
select the org.eclipse.ui.views extension point in the list. But when I
right click the extension point and select New, my only choices are
"Generic" and "Extension ...". From my experience with Eclipse 3.0, I
was expecting options like "view" and "category".

I tried to check the log file, but it seems like that has moved also.
Is there no .log under .metadata anymore?

I'm using Eclipse 3.1.2, Build id: M20060118-1600. I downloaded it as
the WTP bundle.

When this happens it means that your target platform is only runtime or
binary, not an SDK target ... the SDK target includes the source
plugins, which include the schema files. You need those schema files to
see "view" and "category".

Thanks, Paul. That's exactly what happened. I just started reading the
McAffer-Lemieux book on RCP. Early in the book they suggest configuring
the "target setup" with the eclipse-RCP-SDK-3.1-win32.zip. I neglected
to read closely enough and downloaded the eclipse-RCP-3.1-win32.zip by
mistake.

Thanks again,
