| [e4-dev] Fwd: Eclipse 4.2 Application platform based Products |
Hi Sopot
thanks. I took your changes and added the possibility to set some attributes for the text label and the progress bar through the service API to make the component more flexible. I also changed the layout from using a GridLayout to fixed positions.
I also tried to add support to make the progress bar to be INDETERMINATE, but this doesn’t work on my Win7 machine. I’m not sure why … could be an issue with the UI thread being busy in the background, so the progress bar has no chance to update in indeterminate mode. This is probably just academic, because nobody will really need an indeterminate progress bar on the splash screen … so we could just skip this feature.
As you suggested, I will opened bug 382224 for a discussion on the implementation details: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382224
Greetings
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
I really liked it and I implemented a sample progress bar and used it on a
simple prototype twitter client I am building on E4AP. Take a look at the
picture and tell me what you think. Maybe we can open a bug and track theprogress and get the most skeptical guys in Platform/UI take a look at this
:) I also attached the changes in the service. Eclipse should point out the
other changes needed.
I agree that some parameters should be read from .product but I think whenthis is publicly tracked we can take more feedback in order to get it right
the first time.I also used patch https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=214769

Hi,
the splash service has not evolved much since my last post on the forum. Attached is the current project with minimal dependencies. I love the E4AP and would therefore happily contribute and deepen my understanding of the framework. I could also invest some time in an effort to make the splash service more usable in a general way.
General Issues:
a) customizable position of the text (read from product definition?)
b) get the splash image osgi is using as a default (where to look?)
Progress Bar:
i) add a progress bar with custom position (read from product definition?)
ii) add API to set "totalWork" and "worked" for the progress bar
Thinking about a progress bar raises the question of how the total work load can be estimated. It will probably be best to leave this in the hands of the application. Some more events during the startup of the framework would be usefull. Is there a discussion going on somewhere on which events to include?
Greetings
Christoph

For 1) I can provide an initial implementation as a continuation of my work on bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=376821 once this bug has been decided upon. Also I could join my efforts with Christoph if he likes to contribute his work on the forum post you mentioned.

Hi All,
Recently I tried porting a lot of RCP 3.x tutorial material to the Eclipse 4 Application Platform. I wanted to use “native” e4 only (and nothing from the compatibility layer). Currently I am having some issues and need some help.
1) Is it possible to provide a splash screen WITH progress bar? Doing it with the same mechanism that works in 3.x doesn’t work in “native” e4 apps. I know how to do it manually, like it’s described at http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/328812/, but are there any plans to support this out of the box?
2) Are there any plans to put standard commands like “Save” or “About” into the native e4 workbench layer? Right now everything is in org.eclipse.ui.workbench
3) What about the standard icon sets? Right now everything is in org.eclipse.ui with dependency to org.eclipse.ui.workbench
I am asking because in the future I would like to provide full featured Eclipse 4 Application Platform based applications without using and deploying the “old” 3.x bundles.
Thanks
