Non IDE application Based on Eclipse. [message #58546] Fri, 03 October 2003 00:25 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Originally posted by: derisor.arcor.de

Id like to develop a new application. The constraints I have are the following.

1) The user shouldn't know they are using eclipse.

2) The application is a media object management application and not an IDE so I
don't need developer tools.

3) The application should take advantage of the plug in framework at the core of
eclipse.

So what I'm shooting for is an eclipse stripped of everything non-essential and
an open slate. I downloaded the platform but it still has the concepts of
projects and other developer components within it. I would like to rip those out
and use my own menus and features. My questions are:

a) Is this possible?
b) Is there any place that has documentation on how to accomplish such a trick.

TIA

It would be rather defecult, since eclipse was ment for building IDEs, so
the project notation, CVS support and more. You can however use SWT as your
GUI library instead of Swing.

Hi,

In Eclipse 3.0 plan
( http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_p lan_3_0.html)
there is a plan item to split the general ui framework and the ide-specific
parts (look under Rich Client Platform). For Eclipse 2.x you have to remove
the unnecessary plugins.
Another (maybe) interesting links (which can help you with Eclipse 2.x):
- http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/2586
- http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/2587

HTH,

Kraythe,

It's very possible, even with Eclipse 2.1. Genuitec has a very active
consulting practice that has been assisting companies in doing exactly what
you're interested in for quite some time. I believe the first paper to
propose this idea was written by one of our VP's over a hear ago and is
available here:
