We try to implement a search within a e4 project.

We tried two solutions till now:

1) Use the standard eclipse.search (3.7.1) plugin:
The problem we encountered there, is that the when calling follwoing line to execute the query we get an exception:

org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet.

...since in the InternalSearchUI on line 130

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getProgressService()

is called.

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getProgressService().registerIconForFamily(SearchPluginImages.DESC_VIEW_SEARCHRES, FAMILY_SEARCH);

What can we do about that?

2) the e4searchconsole seems not to be ready to use...

Has anybody experience or a hint how to use eclipse search or how to implement a search in a e4 project.

For #1, the current search console only works in Eclipse 4.2 (with the UI workbench compatibility/bridging layer), not in Eclipse 4 (E4Application).

For #2, they have been working on the search console. I would contact them and see how much of workbench they need to deploy their search console.

But what does it mean? Will the standard search (until 3.7) be modified to work in e4 and if yes what is the plan? Or is the search console the only way? We need this feature for our business RCP application, trying to develop without compatibility layer.

Thx for clarifying
Beat

In Juno, the focus is on supporting plugins using the standard IWorkbench APIs (so the compat layer). Eclipse 4 and EAP (Eclipse Application Services) will continue to get more work in Juno+ (2013) but if it's not there now, it is unlikely to be by the time Juno releases.

The 3.7 search console won't work in an Eclipse 4 RCP app as it needs the IWorkbench APIs. I don't know the state of the new search console (and what it needs to work), you would have to contact the contributors to find out.
