Hi,
I've been searching for some asnerws for 2 days and I cannot find this so
i'm trying here.
What I need is to build some application that wil allow to build screen
templates using widgets. So generally i need to build gui for building
other guis. I think that pretty good solution is to use eclipse rcp and
VEP plugin. Unfortunatly I cannot find if it's possible. The best solution
it would be to build using rcp application add menu bar, tool bar, and
visual editor. On the left there is a list of components that can be used
to build on the right some screens.
Is it possible? Can i fully use VEP Because that's exactly what i need.
I need to take full some functionality of VEP and add this to my rcp
application, so I can make sreens add some components etc. Is it possible
to this like descriped above, or i've to use only some components in rcp
like menu, toolbar views and edtitors and this visual editor build from
scracht?
thanks for help
and sorry if the subject's been discussed, but i couldnt find it

Yes it is. For instance Check out Crabide.ui from nokia. They do exactly
that on top of VE.

But now, VE as it is today is not really RCP freindly.
It assumes many pre-existing stuffs: Workspace and resources, JDT, and so
on.
Helping us make it RCP friendly would be great!

Yeah, Carbide.ui is a good example. Thats what I'm planing to do. Just
for another Problem. We now know it could be done. But how to start. My
first try is to start the visual editor in my RCP. I added some Plug-ins
for Resources, made a new Project and opened (after adding more Plug-ins
) an Editor. I've done the same with the java-Editor. I see, i can do
it. But where can I find an API-Reference for the VEP. Or does someone
know how to start the special Editor from the VEP?

There are some samples in CVS, may be they can give a starting point?

Yeah, looks quite well. I reached a similar Level by now. But I want my
product to look less Eclipse. And also loose some Eclipse functions. My
customer should only access the program he should not reach, maybe
creating his own Java Code. But i'm still working in this.
