Re: [gef-dev] GEF outside of Eclipse, not yet?
|
Yep, that's actually the whole point behind RCP (Rich Client Platform). RCP just factors out all the workbench code (the code that manages the view, editors, plugins, etc...), and you can build your own (branded) customized platform.
The best way to experiment with this is to use
File -> New -> Other
Select Plug-in Project
Give it a Name -> Next
Select Create Rich Client Application -> Next
Choose RCP Mail Template
Then if you click on the plugin.xml, you can launch the sample mail app. You can also export this whole project. Once you have an RCP application up and running, you should be able to add GEF to it.
However, Rasmus is right, this is not really appropriate for this list. There are several articles on Eclipse.org about RCP. For questions, checkout the platform newsgroup and maybe even the newcomer newsgroup.
Sorry for spamming the list with this information. I just remember starting with Eclipse, and getting started is not easy.
Good luck,
Ian

And I can package the RCP into a stand-alone product?

Yes, you can use GEF outside of Eclipse (in an RCP application). You can't use GEF is a straight SWT application.

Is it still not possible to use GEF outside of Eclipse (like RCP)?
Is it easy to change GEF to do so? A couple of hours' work?
