I am trying to develop an RCP application - I guess in eclipse speak that's
actually a "product"(?) - which besides a specific view that I already
wrote, and which will be "the beef" of my application, should also includes
a couple of standard eclipse views, like the Navigator view, the Project
Explorer view, the Console, plus preferably the entire Windows-menu
including the options to choose and manage perspectives and views. The File
menu with some "standard" functionality (like New..., Open..., Close, Exit
and Switch workspace, ) and the Help menu should also be part of my
application. On the other hand it should *not* include any IDE features
(like Package explorer or Hierarchy view, Java perspective, etc. etc.).
I have now fiddled for a quite a while but I am having a really hard time
identifying all the plugins that I need to include to make the listed
features (and only those) be part of my application, such that when I start
up the application in a runtime workspace it provides all the features I
listed above. Again and again, while some feature *do* show up (like the
Navigator view) others remain missing or fail at runtime due to missing
dependencies (and other features are there, that I don't want and that I
have no clue, why they are showing up...).
What I did so far was to simply include certain plugins into the plugin's
Dependencies list (under Required Plug-ins) but IMHO there must be a better,
more focused way - and not just trial and error - to configure an
application such that specific features are fully included (and properly
work at runtime!) and others are not.
Could some kind soul give me a pointer or hint how to do that? Is there some
tool or view or wizard (or whatever) to configure an application and
identify and pick features? Or how does one configure application that
should compose a subset of existing eclipse stuff with additional
self-written elements?
