Hi all,

I cannot use SWT in a RAP application because the IDE Eclipse for RCP and RAP doesn't contains the good plugins. How Can I generate a version with all the plugins for these.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,

RAP port of SWT widgets are located in "org.eclipse.rap.rwt" bundle. You have to use this bundle instead of "org.eclipse.swt".
When start working with RAP your first step is to install RAP Runtime target platform [1].

Best regards,

Hi Antonio,
keep in mind that RAP porting of SWT is not a 100% porting.
You will find several API and/or classes missing: this is normal, behaviours of a desktop library are not identical to those of a web interface.
Since Sirius is in the title of your post I suppose you are trying to create/port a Sirius application on the web with RAP, which I don't think is a straightforward task.
In the past I was able to use GEF on RAP, but for instance I couldn't do it with Graphiti,
Things might be changed since then, but graphic libraries are often a hard task to deal with, especially trying to use desktop-based APIs like those of SWT.
Sirius team itself is porting it to the web with different approaches, see here

Hi Ivan and Vincenzo,

Thanks a lot for your remarks. I have solved the pb.

Now Just a last question, with your remarks I imagine that it's not possible using rwt/swt in RAP to embed a Sing component in a swt.Composite??? Have you information on this.

Thanks a lot

Antonio

Hi Antonio,
if you are referring to Swing (but I read 'Sing' in your message) I can say that yes: it is possible to embed a Swing component into an SWT one.
I did it in a true SWT desktop application in the past, but couldn't say if this would work also for a RAP application.

Hi Vincenzo and Ivan

I know that using SWT_AWT on a desktop it's possible to embed a Swing panel in a composite, my question is in a RAP dev iti's this still possible?

If not will try to use GEF tools but now GEF is developed using JavaFX, and i think that RAP and JavaFX are not compatible, it's true?

Regards

Antonio
