I would like to transition a custom IDE from Eclipse to Eclipse Theia.
Is it possible to run Java UI based on SWT library to display in a window inside Eclipse Theia?
This will make transition process easier as some UI would not need to be re-implemented from scratch.

I was wondering about using fxml in eclipse.
I watched a Video about JavaFX where the Creator handles the UI with a fxml File(He uses Eclipse too).
But my Eclipse doesnt recognize that I use fxml(Maybe doesnt have fxml?).
Is there any way I can add fxml to eclipse?

You can also get the e(fx)clipse plugin (which allows you to create fxmls) by opening Eclipse, clicking Help, scrolling down to the Eclipse Marketplace, and searching e(fx)clipse. Install, and then just restart Eclipse. To create a new JavaFX project, go to File->New->Project...->JavaFX->JavaFX Project, and you should be good to go (these instructions are based on using Eclipse Neon).
I'm new to Eclipse RCP applications. I'd like to create an application with views that can be docked, minimized, dragged, etc, like in the Eclipse IDE.
Using Eclipse Luna on Mac OS X with e4 tools 0.17, I've created a first application by New Project -> Eclipse 4 Application Project. If I create a Part Stack, the parts show as tabs, but these cannot be dragged and docked.
What do I have to do to activate the docking framework?

I recently installed latest version of NetBeans and when I tried to make a new project type "Java Desktop Application" it won't appear in Java category.
Please help?
I've installed this plugin:
Java Swing Framework Library
JDK Project for Netbeans
Even I installed all of java plugins. But no luck!
By Java Desktop Application you may be referring the "Swing Application Framework" and that was halted by Sun Microsystems before Java 7 around year 2009 end.
For developing Desktop Applications using Java in NetBeans you have multiple options as follows:
Using Matisse UI Builder
The Matisse UI builder is available in NetBeans and you can create JFrame and JDialog classes in your application which can be used as your UI in any Java application. This approach needs a lot of boilerplate code to be written for creating windows, menus and dialog boxes. The next option is better if you want a professional cross platform Java Desktop Application
Using NetBeans Platform as base of your application
NetBeans IDE is built on the top of NetBeans Platform and you can also use the NetBeans Platform to build your own Desktop application with many conventional features out of the box coming from the NetBeans Platform. The NetBeans IDE comes with NetBeans Modules project types where you can choose the "NetBeans Platform Applciation: project type to create a desktop application. There are lot of tutorials and help available for the NetBeans platform on NetBeans users list and platform mailing list.
If you are still looking for the answer, or if anyone out there who want help, then here is an option. I think you want the drag and drop option, right? Here you go.
Just Start new project as Java and Java Application as shown below:
And then give any name to your project, like helloworld as shown below:
After you click finish button, the helloworld package will be opened. Now go to the left (mostly) or right side of the screen there is a list of projects. Go to your project and right-click on Source Packages -> New -> Other as shown below:
Now another window opens, and select Swing GUI Forms from Categories and JFrame Form from File Types, then Next and give the name and location for the class.
Now the form should appear on the window. You can now go back to source code and go forth to Design as you want. Have a nice coding.
I wrote an Eclipse plug-in using SWTBot to automate Eclipse through its GUI. Actually I'm running this plug-in from Eclipse with Eclipse Application run configuration to test it. That opens a new Eclipse instance. After that I can start the plug-in with a toolbarbutton using ui.actionSets extension.
I'd like to start an Eclipse from command prompt and would like this plug-in to start automatically. In my case Eclipse shall be started with GUI of course.
Do you know any working solution for this problem?
You can use the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point. You need to provide a IStartup implementing class that is called when the workbench is started.
Note: this is not a complete fail safe method, as the user is able to disable this extension point in the Workbench > Startup preference page.
new to eclipse RCP environment. I have a Webstart Apps/jnlp that I would like to add into an already made rcp client. Was wondering if It was possible to integrate it into the RCP so it will appear under the menu toolbar so if it was clicked from the menu upon the jnlp will load into the browser. How will I go about doing that, would it need to be as a plug-in?
Thanks for any help!
I have never tried it, but how about writing a simple plugin with a menu contribution, command assiciated with that menu would open somewhere small viewpart with Browser component and finally, that Browser component would get the resource you need?
