Hello Eclipse,
I Just recently starting setting up Eclipse as my workbench and keep
thinking that the RCP side of Eclipse may be something I'm also interested
in. For the GUI aspect of my project there have been two approaches I've
been considering:
1) a docking system
2) a scenegraph
Eclipse seems to excel at docking and plugins, in the past I have looked
into InfoNode, Jidesoft components and also the Java Plugin Framework
(JPF). I do not know much about what wizards and facilities there are for
docking/plugin development, is there any video tuturials avaliable so I
can get up to speed faster?
The new Sun scenegraph project (https://scenegraph.dev.java.net/) is the
latest thing in ZUI and has replaced piccolo/jazz as the new king of ZUI
coolness. A very nice thing about the new scenegraph is that it integrates
Swing components so they to can be mixed in with nodes and manipulated
with the same transforms. This component is central to my project and can
not be substituted.
I've always leaned toward doing the whole interface using the scenegraph
only, this would be my preference as Flash like interfaces are great and
suite the main view of my application. However, it is possible that the
scenegraph can always be a component inside a RCP view as well.
If both systems are combined is it still possible to make the scenegraph
component inside a RCP view go to full screen and back again? I want to
give users this option, I'm not sure if RCP views restrict this kind of
thing.
By the way, how do I get Eclipse to go full screen?
best Regards,
Thom
