Hello,
I have a rcp application in which there is a button. When you click on
this button, it brings up a shell containing other things. The problem
is that when I close this shell, the all application is closing.
- Here is the code of my button calling the shell:

buttonnouvelleconsultation.addMouseListener(new
org.eclipse.swt.events.MouseAdapter() {

public void mouseDown(org.eclipse.swt.events.MouseEvent e) {

; // TODO Auto-generated Event stub mouseDown()

Medclipse_Consultation_Consultation_PopUp_Consulte.main (null);

}

});

- Here is the main code of my pop-up shell:

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = Display.getDefault();
Medclipse_Consultation_Consultation_PopUp_Consulte thisClass = new
Medclipse_Consultation_Consultation_PopUp_Consulte();
thisClass.createSShell();
thisClass.sShell.open();

while (!thisClass.sShell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
/**
* This method initializes sShell
*
*/
private void createSShell() {
sShell = new Shell();
sShell.setLayout(new FillLayout()); // Generated
sShell.setText("CONSULTATION"); // Generated
sShell.setSize(new Point(743, 524)); // Generated
createScrolledComposite();

sShell.setSize(new Point(743, 407)); // Generated
}

And the question is: how to do so that when I close the pop-up shell,
the main application is not closing with. Thanks.

If you are popping up a shell from within an already running display
thread you shouldn't be calling main and creating a new display. You
should instead simply bring up your popup. You disposed the display in
the popup's main. But that is the same display that the rest of your
application is using, so naturally that shut them down too.

All you need to do is:

Medclipse_Consultation_Consultation_PopUp_Consulte thisClass =
new Medclipse_Consultation_Consultation_PopUp_Consulte();
thisClass.createSShell();
thisClass.sShell.open();

PS: You should make the shell you create be modal to your application
too so that your application is disabled until your popup is complete.
I'm assuming that is what you want to do. In that case you need to
create your shell with:

new Shell(applicationParentShell, SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL);

this will make it look like a popup dialog and your application won't
continue until it has been closed.
