Hi there,
I'm an undergraduate with a Singapore University majoring in computer
engineering. For my final year project I was to develop a collaborative
plugin for eclipse. This plugin is created in such a way that is based on a
server client architecture and a copy of the file is downloaded from the
server side. Each mouse movement/cursor is sent back to the server through
messages.
Now I would like to enquire if Eclipse has any built in support for radar
views meaning such that the Server can "see" where is the current
mouse/cursor is in Client A, Client B. ===> likened to a monitoring kind of
mode (think a security centre with multiple cameras looking at a particular
place).
My apologies if it sounds complicated. I hope someone will be kind enough to
hint me the right directions.
Thank You
Adrian

Hi Ken,
Sorry for the confusion caused and thank you for replying.
I was hoping to find out if there were any Eclipse API that allows me to
have multiple views.
And yes, I would like to send the position of the mouse cursor to the server
with the intention of imaging/superimpose multiple cursors from various
views( from various desktops) into 1 common view.

Adrian,
If by "view" you mean a ViewPart or a WorkbenchPart or something
Eclipse related, then no, there is no API for this sort of thing that
currently exists, as far as I know. If by "view" you mean computer
screen or window, I'd probably recommend using something like VNC in
read-only mode to achieve your goal, although that doesn't give you much
opportunity for Eclipse development...
