I plan on using Eclipse with a graphical editor to access and modifiy data
in an object database. I have already developed the model for the editor
and other views with EMF. Now I am at the point of needing to load or
create an instance of the model for the editor to use.

My question is this. Is there an example of doing something similar that
would give me an idea on how to have Eclipse run with out something like a
'project'.??

I would like to have a navigation view that presents a simple list of
'records' in the database, then a selection of a record would 'load' or
create an instance of the model for editing. I would like the navigation
view to load automatically when I start Eclipse to get things started.
There should be no dependency on a 'file' or 'project'.

Thanks for any help.

Mark.

Mark,

You can write your plugin to work inside the Eclipse SDK and simply ignore
the workspace model. There is no requirement that your plugins include a
dependency on the org.eclipse.core.resources plugin (where IWorkspace,
IProject, IFolder, IFile, etc are defined).

Alternatively, you can write your own standalone application based on
Eclipse. For more info on the latter, please see:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-ui-home/rcp-proposal/rich_client_platform_facilities.ht ml

Either way, you probably want to create your own perspective containing your
own view(s). The view can populate itself when it is opened. You might
want to use the jobs API to do this in the background. See:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform -core-home/plan_concurrency.html

HTH,
Nick

Nick,

Thanks for your reply.

I quickly read through the tutorial on rcp, and this sounds almost perfect.

Can you comment on the stability of Eclipse 3 at this point. I was shooting
for delivery of this app in late April, but need to start implementing now
of course.

Mark.
