Hello,
As discussed on previous threads, I am trying to build what will
essentially be a custom Workbench that will enable to me launch all of
my tools ( some of which are Swing-based, so they all will have their
own window ). This custom-workbench will also facilitate the
data-transfer between tools and to outside processes.
I am having problems starting my Plugins though. What I want is to be
able to have a "Start Tool" button that will instantiate a new Plugin
and put up its window. I have tried several approaches:
1. org.eclipse.core.boot.Platform
Plugin zui = Platform.getPlugin( "org.isb.example.zui" );
this returns a non-null plugin but it does not seem to be initialized.
I can get its IPluginDescriptor from it, but I can't make the JFrame it
is supposed have appear, and it never seems to run either the startup()
method or any constructor.
2. org.isb.example.zui.ZuiExample ze =
org.isb.example.zui.ZuiExample.getInstance();
In the Plugin docs this is suggested and I made a static method that
would return an instance of my Plugin, supposing that it was actually
started which it never was. I then tried to pass my plugin a
IPluginDescriptor but that made Eclipse crash.
So if anyone has any hints that would be great. I am also not opposed
to switching to the Eclipse3.0M1 release from my current 2.1 release if
this sort of issue has been better addressed.
Any help welcome,
--rowan

Dave,
So I got it to run on Windows.
go to:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/csbi/
download the one that is for win-0.1
then edit integrator.bat to reflect where your install is, this means
doing a regexp to replace "X:\integrator" with whatever your path is.
There should be a window that opens with two buttons a "Test Me!!!" and
a "JInteract". TestMe will open a new window that will show some text,
try right-clicking-and-dragging ;)
The JInteract one will open up an internal program called JInteract, and
if you are an MS/ICAT person you might know what it is.
