Eclipse 4 RCP (aka E4) documentation

Question

Is there at least anything other than Vogella\'s tutorials and his book, which is completely based on those tuts? Examples from his repo are often either incomp

Answer 1

i was in the same position for my sparetime RCP-Project and was about to give up

since Neon the situation has been improved a lot

my approach

• take the tycho-Example from vogella for headless-build

• add your custom parts with 'hello world' and play around to learn

• for database-access use a declarative Service using jpa

an example will be

http://relations-rcp.sourceforge.net/

for logging and error-view

https://github.com/buchen/portfolio

this project eye-opening!

in general:

search Application.e4xmi in Github by date descending and you will find excelent examples and full working products

Forget about e3 and stick to plain e4. Take Advantage of the latest api's

• make a i18n plugin and use

  @Inject @Translation Messages messages;

• use ISideEffect as Binding

for me it becomes fun to code with e4
