How to use it in my RCP app? [message #648745]

Hey guys!

I'm working on a RCP application which has to come with some functionalities to manage connection profiles to DB2 servers. Since it's way to much overhead to write all the stuff myself, I though it should be possible to use DTP as a Plugin to my RCP Project to use the wizards and stuff.

But where do I start? I'm pretty new with Eclipse development and kind of lost here... How do I use the DTP from my Java code?

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael...

One place to start is with the FAQ... http://wiki.eclipse.org/DTP_FAQ

I did a presentation a year ago that has some info on using DTP in RCP
as well -
http://www.slideshare.net/bfitzpat/dtp-in-the-real-world-dtp -in-rcp

Hope that helps. We haven't done a whole lot with DTP in RCP to be
honest. It comes up now and again.

Good luck! If you have additional specific questions, feel free to post
them as well and we'll see what we can help with.

Thanks for the note Smile

I already googled it up and found your presentation.

To be more precise: is there a way to use the wizards from the DTP Plug-in to bring that functionality to my app without having to code them myself?

Well, the easiest way is to simply import the plug-ins you want. Most of
the Connectivity plug-ins are what you'll need for the wizards and such.
And then just include the Enablement plug-ins you want or need in
addition to the basic stuff.

Figured that much, but I still have no idea how to call any of the wizards or dialogs Sad

Let's say I wanted to use the database connection wizard to add a new database in my application. How do I do that?
