Setting the right editor title for the workbench [message #51853] Tue, 24 March 2009 13:47 Go to next message

Hi,

I know this may sound like a trivial question, but I've been trying this
for quite some time and can't seem to find a proper solution.
I have a custom editor and I want to set the opened element as the title
of the whole workbench (i.e. of the whole Eclipse shell). Currently the
title reads "<Perspective> - - Eclipse Platform". I have an EditorInput
that implements IEditorInput and the getName() method, respectively. I
thought this name would appear in the title, but it does not. Is this
the right procedure to do it and if so - are there any circumstances,
under which the title would be ignored?
To make it a bit clearer - I'm not building a standalone RCP app and I
don't want to set a custom title like "This is my app v.123". I just
want to set whatever property needs to be set to show the correct
default title :)

Cheers,
Alex

In case someone else is also stuck on this - you have to implement
getToolTipText() in your IEditorInput ... o_O ...
