For XWT editor palette use org.eclipse.e4.xwt.vex.customPalette extension point.

But, how to add custom widgets to XWT "designer" palette?

Thanks.

Use the same concept, but the EP is in the bundle
"org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tools.ui.palette"

You can find it in the bundle org.eclipse.e4.tools.ui.designer, which adds
XWT palette.

"org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tools.ui.palette.paletteContribution" is the correct extension point.

<extension
point="org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tools.ui.palette.paletteContribution ">
<Contribution
targetId="org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tools.ui.designer.XWTDesigner" >
<Resource
provider="your.palette.provider.YourPaletteProvider"
uri="palette/your.palette" >
</Resource>
</Contribution>
</extension>

I used a subclass of org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tools.ui.palette.page.resources.URIResour ceProvider as palette provider.
Next you need to define the palette file "palette/your.palette" somehow like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<palette:Palette xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:palette="http://www.eclipse.org/e4/xwt/tools/palette.xmi">
<entries name=" Controls" icon=" platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tools.ui.editor.custompa lette/icons/riena.png ">
<entries
toolTip="Create a YourWidget"
content="&lt;YourWidget x:Class=&quot;your.widget.YourWidget&quot; x:style=&quot;SWT.NONE&quot;&gt;&lt;/YourWid get&gt; "
name="YourWidget"
icon="platform:/plugin/your.palette/icons/yourwidget.gif"
scope="Composite"/>
</entries>
</palette:Palette>

Keep in mind that you are required to register your widget with the xwt designer, otherwise it will not load.
Your palette provider might be a good place to do that, eg in the getPaletteResourceURI() method.

cheers,
