Comment on Using FormEditor with a single page by Patrick

Hi idiotgenius,

Glad you found this tip helpful. As for saving, form editors rely on AbstractFormParts which generally map to form sections. Form parts are registered with the ManagedForm controller and then notified when a save has been requested (commit method is called). You can take whatever action you like in the commit method.

The PDE editors can serve as a good example here. Check out the org.eclipse.pde.ui source bundle and examine the source code.

Hope this helps,

— Patrick

Comment on Getting started with PDE Build by Laurie

Thank you for this sample of using PDE. I struggled with getting a build to work, researched the web for several days. I came across your example through one of my searches and had my build working in about 2-4 hours. I struggled with a few error messages. Today I figured it out by comparing what you had to what my build had. That was extremely helpful. I just wanted to say thanks for developing and sharing it so freely.

Thank you so much for publishing the missing puzzle piece. I was looking for it after reading the article Prakash wrote. And especially the progress indicator on the status bar.

I think I know what’s going on here. Helios builds will require a slightly different setup because the RCP Runtime Binary is packaged as a p2 repository. I’m going to write a blog post soon with an updated example download. In the mean time, I’ll email you the example and if you could test it out, that would help me a lot.

Thanks,

Hi Wes,

There are only two things that affect whether the launcher class can be found:

1. eclipseLocation must point to a valid Eclipse installation.
2. The equinoxLauncherPluginVersion property must match the version of the org.eclipse.equinox.launcher bundle.

There is nothing specific to PDE Build in all of this, we’re just configuring the classpath of a regular Ant java task. If you’ve set the launcher version properly, can you double-check that eclipseLocation points to a valid Eclipse installation?

Patrick,

I seem to be getting an error in your tutorial. Any input on fixing the issue would be greatly appreciated.

pde-build:

[java] exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/equinox/launcher/Main
[java] Caused by java.lang.classnotfoundexception: org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.main

It can’t seem to find the “main” class that is necessary to run the equinox launcher.
