I would like to integrate my desktop application inside of unity editor, is it possible to do that?
For example by using Editor Window as a wrapping of my application?
Any solutions?

In my custom plugin I am trying open compare result inside a wizard page but they always open in an editor or as a new dialog.
I am overriding setVisible(booolean)method, so as soon as wizard page is visible I am opening compare editor using CompareUI.openCompareEditor()call, but this opens up a new editor in the background.
Is it possible to open compare editor results inside a wizard page.
Thanks!!
There is no existing support for this.
You could read the source of the dialog that is displayed by openCompareDialog.openCompareDialog - this is org.eclipse.compare.internal.CompareDialog.
It looks like it might be possible to do the same thing in a wizard page without using internal classes by adapting what that dialog does.
I am developing a Visual Studio Extension. It shows a tool window. The element is s user control which is automatically generated. I want to use a window instead of user control. The reason behind this is, I want to use Metro style window. for which I need a window control derived from MetroWindow class. But as the tool window is generated using a windows control, I am unable to apply metro style to it as it is not a window and I am unable to derive it form metro window class.
I'm used to using tabs rather than having many new windows open. I've recently changed (work) computers and now whenever I open an old script or start writing a new one it opens a new instance of the matlab editor. The question is, does anybody know how to change the default to a new tab within the same editor? (hope that makes sense).
Thanks
Open 2 scripts or more. On one of the editor windows press the circled triangle (I am sure it has a proper name):
Select Dock All in Editor.
The files should appear as tabs docked to the matlab desktop.
You can now undock the editor using the same button (you should undock the editor, not a specific file)
Any file you open now should be in a new tab.
I am developing RCP plug-in with GEF framework.
I've created basic graphical editor (GraphicalEditor and IEditorInput)
IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
page.openEditor(new TEditorInput("T"), TGraphicalEditor.ID,false);
When I run the application I get editor with a header that contains the tab with the name of the editor and control buttons to maximize and minimize the editor.
What I need is to display just the editor, without the header.
Can it be done?
To my knowledge, it is not possible to just hide an editor's tab.
However, you can try two workarounds:
Have your GEF editor be displayed in an Eclipse view instead of an editor and open such a view as a standalone view. An example of how to open a GEF diagram in a view can be found in GEF's Directed Graph Example. An example of how to open a view as standalone can be found in one the Eclipse RCP official tutorials.
Extend the presentation factories extension point to control how workbench parts are displayed (which includes control over the part stack tab).
I suggest you try the first approach, as to me it seems easier to implement.
The idea with editors is that you can instantiate them multiply for different editor inputs. I am not aware of any way to restrict the number of open editors to just one (well, it appears you can in Eclipse 4.2 if that helps you)
For views, what you want can be done by setting the perspective to fixed and set showTitle of the org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions extension to false on the view. Maybe you can use a view instead of an editor and control the editor input yourself?
(For example, using an editor, the default Open action would instantiate a new editor, while you probably want to replace the contents in your only editor, right?)
I have an sample editor which opens up by selecting an action from a sample Menu created in the menu bar.
How do i associate this editor with a file in Project explorer view?
I mean if i double click on the file in project explorer view , the editor should spawn up.
Basically i want this editor to work like a regular eclipse editor.
Please let me know your suggestions or any online material which explains the framework on how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Karthik
Have a look at IWorkbenchPage.openEditor(IEditorInput input, String editorId). Here you specify the input object of the editor and the ID for the editor.
In a RCP application, the IEditorInput is usually made up by you - nothing fancy is needed unless you want to persist the editors - and ID is specified via the org.eclipse.ui.editors.
