Follow the steps outlined there, but start from the RCP Mail App (which you can generate from New>Plug-in Project wizard) and use that as your application/product. Then you can define the initial perspective to show what you want.

When i try to validate the plug-in, eclipse tells me that is missing

Well, is working now but i have to add required plugins every time i want to run the product.

Anyway, there is no diference using this product or the other product (old product) that i have. Cause the all the perspectives (java,debug..) are still in the ui, and compile button and all the menus.

Is possible to only have :

* Principal menu bar
* Package explorer
* Xtext Editor

??

without all the others things of eclipse like buttons, ... !!

Thanks, in advance.

If you use the RCP mail app, it only comes with on perspective and doesn't show the perspective bar. Other perspectives that get added shouldn't show up.

To use XText you would need to take the RCP mail app product (create a product in that plugin using the RCP mail app application) and add the runtime bundles needed for XText (probably EMF as well), and probably org.eclipse.ui.ide.

But your RCP mail app WorkbenchAdvisor (and other advisors) control the configuration of your menus, trim, toolbars, etc.

So if you start with RCP mail app, create an RCP mail app product, and then add the plugins needed for XText to it you can then modify the RCP mail app perspective and open an XText editor.

If you run into problems, please describe exactly what you did and how far you got.
