[platform-dev] editor in RCP app not working

["Andreas Pakulat" <apaku@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

if this isn't the right list for the question, please feel free to direct me
to the proper mailing list.

I created a very basic RCP application with 3 views and wanted to create an
editor for it now. So I added a new extension to the plugin.xml havin class
and id point to the class for the edior and gave a name. contributors is
filled with org.eclipse.ui.part.EditorActionBarContributor, as I don't need
that now.

Then i created the class as subclass of FormEditor (I want to display such
forms) and created a FormPage subclass to display a label and a text field.
But it seems that the code for my Editor is never run, so question is: What
have I forgotten to do.

I'm new to Eclipse and RCP programming and a little bit lost on where to
look for any errors (I do see some errors from classes in
org.eclipse.update.ui but they don't seem to be related to my problem)

Thanks,

Andreas
