Possible to use SystemRemoteFileDialog/SystemRemoteFolderDialog without RSE open [message #24037]

Is it possible to make use of the
SystemRemoteFileDialog/SystemRemoteFolderDialog classes without being in
or possibly even activating the Remote systems view or Remote Systems
Explorer perspective?

I have another perspective and view from which I need to browse a remote
system for which I already have the host name/address and a
userid/password.

I started out trying some code like below but ran into a number of issues
with the bundle not being loaded and values not being initialized.

new RSECorePlugin();
IRSESystemType[] systemTypes =
RSECorePlugin.getTheCoreRegistry().getSystemTypes();
if(systemTypes != null)
{
System.out.println(systemTypes);
}

Host host = null;
SystemProfile prof = null;
prof = new SystemProfile(hostAddress, true);
host = new Host(prof);

IRSESystemType type =
RSECoreRegistry.getInstance().getSystemTypeById(IRSESystemTy pe.SYSTEMTYPE_SSH_ONLY_ID);
ISubSystemConfigurator sub[] = null;
SystemRegistry reg = SystemRegistry.getInstance();
try {
reg.createHost("builtIn", type , hostName, hostName, id, remoteHost, 0,
sub );
} catch (Exception e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
diag = new SystemRemoteFileDialog(l_Form.getShell(), "browse remote file
system", host);
diag.open();
Object o = diag.getSelectedObject();

Is this type of usage even possible?

Hello Zackery,

sure, the dialog classes work without activating the RSE perspective;
just for example, if you create an empty project in the Resource
perspective and then do File > New > Folder > Advanced > Link to folder
in file system > (Disabled default, select File System : RSE) > Browse
you'll see the dialog but without the Perspective.

What you're trying to do in your code, though, looks totally odd. You
cannot instanciate a plugin class yourself, the Eclipse Framework would
do that for you.

Please look at the EclipseCon 2008 tutorial slides for some example of
programmatically creating a connection and opening a browse dialog --
I'm quite sure that this should work from any control outside the RSE
Perspective.

Links to the EclipseCon 2008 tutorial slides as well as the example
code are available from the first item in the "Events" box on the
TM Homepage:
http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/
Note that parts of the example might not compile because they were
written against RSE 3.0M6 but some APIs have changed since. The
concepts, though, are still valid.

Cheers,
