I have created a custom plugin which replaces the existing welcome page(Intro page) to the page I wanted. I used the below link to make it work on eclipse run configuration:-
https://help.eclipse.org/neon/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/ua_intro_minimal.htm?cp=2_0_19_0_1_2
I had to edit the plugin.xml of Eclipse SDK to make it work. Below are the steps:-
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.intro">
<introProductBinding
introId="org.eclipse.ui.intro.universal"
productId="org.eclipse.sdk.ide">
</introProductBinding>
</extension>
// Change the introId to "org.eclipse.intro.minimal" so that the extension code looks like this.
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.intro">
<introProductBinding
introId="org.eclipse.intro.minimal"
productId="org.eclipse.sdk.ide">
</introProductBinding>
</extension>
The above configuration works well when I am running the plugin as project. However when I try to export the plugin as jar file and import in Eclipse SDK then the default welcome page is shown on load. Theres no way I found where I can specify to pick the Intro screen from the new plugin added.
Does any user faced the similiar issue?

I´m beginning with Acceleo.
I installed eclipse-modeling-luna-M6-win32.
Then i installed acceleo by update on eclipse.
(is there any better option?)
Trying to use the uml2java example.
To run it i tried to run org.eclipse.acceleo.examples.uml2java.
It gave me:
Error
Couldn't load class org.eclipse.acceleo.examples.uml2java.main.Uml2java from project org.eclipse.acceleo.examples.uml2java
Couldn't load class org.eclipse.acceleo.examples.uml2java.main.Uml2java. Check that its containing package is exported.
I did not change the code.
I checked the MANIFEST and it has on the runtime: org.eclipse.acceleo.examples.uml2java.main
I also saw that there is an UI project that as i understand is a plugin but i don´t know what to do with it (so that it will create a new menu on eclipse).
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks.
it worked using eclipse indigo with the latest acceleo. i don´t know if it´s possible to use a more recent eclipse version. also works with eclipse kepler.
This fixed the problem for me. Try adding the "bin/" directory to the Classpath in the Manifest file.
Right click the MANIFEST.MF file and "Open With >" "Plug-in Manifest Editor".
This gives some tabs at the bottom. Use the "Runtime" tab. On the bottom right of this screen there is a place to edit the classpath. Add "bin/".
I got this idea from Etienne's answer in: Can't generate java from UML using Acceleo in Eclipse
How to compile GreenDao examples and DaoExampleGenerator without eclipse?
You can use Android Studio to do it.
Gradle is integrated and download dependent libraries.
Just be aware on the paths in Android studio (uses the main project path containing all modules (one module in android studio is a project in Eclipse).
It worked for me.
dropdown on the run button click on Edit Configuration, then, click + button and add new Application and on config : Check on below image then click apply and ok.
Next what you need to do is on dropdown, choose your daogenerator then run the application it will compile the dao class
then it should looks like above and click run. It should works!
Good luck!!
I've followed this tutorial:
Eclipse Plugin
This tutorial explain why create a HTML Editor.
I need a Text editor,just for auto-highlight some words, anyway I thought this tuto should be a good one to start with.
The thing is that I created the Plugin project and the only thing that I changed it was the extension "pat" instead "html, htm", just that. After that I created a .pat file, but eclipse doesn't open it with my plugin, and my text editor is not in the editor's list.
Any suggestion??
Let me know if you need more information.
My guess is that you have just created the plugin, but aren't running it in your current Eclipse instance. That can be verified by opening the view "Plugin registry". That will show a list of all plugins, see if the plugin you have created is in that list.
If you click on the run button in Eclipse you will open a run configuration dialog. In one of the tabs, you get to choose what plugins should be available. Make sure your plug-in is selected. This will start up a new Eclipse instance that will run your plugin.
To make your plugin be a part of your ordinary Eclipse installation, you will need to export it to a jar and copy that jar to the dropins catalog.
On my Mac computer, I follow the tutorial on this page to get the Taipan example run, but still failed so many times.
Switch to the Plug-in Development perspective and open the models folder within the org.eclipse.gmf.examples.taipan project. Explore each of the models found hereand their element properties. You'll notice that there are full and RCP versions of the generated Taipan examples to explore.
When I try to run as "Eclipse application", it launches a new eclipse app but the dialog box Examples does not have the 'Taipan Diagram' as it says:
create an empty project and a new 'TaiPan Diagram' found in the Examples folder of the New dialog
What are the possible causes? Someone helps me to solve it out?
I'm assuming that your plugin is working fine and doesnt show compilation errors?
Then the most likely reason is that you havent chosen your plugin to be active in your launch dialog.

I have problem with configuration GXT with GWT Designer. I have all new releases of Eclipse, GWT plugin and GXT and cannot configure GXT to work with GWT Designer. I setup my project so that I can compile my GXT project and run it in browser.
However I can't design in GWT Designer. I don't see any GXT widget in GWT Designer.
All forums reffer to Google Web Toolkit -> Configure for using Ext-GWT (GXT) but I don't have this option.
I have done all steps defined in setup.txt of GXT.
The only thing that is not working is GWT designer do not see GXT widgets.
Regrads,
Folks:
It simply appears that GXT 3 is not supported in the latest version of Windowbuilder. Period. All the instructions given in this thread work well for GXT 2, but GXT 3 has radical differences (different styling mechanisms, for one thing!) that Windowbuilder cannot seem to handle.
This is a bug that needs to be fixed in Windowbuilder.
I see this is an old article, but might still help people with the same problem.
If you right click on your gwt.xml file, the options are visible, if you click on your project, the options are not visible. That's the problem I was having.
I had this problem. I solved by installing:
(If you are using Eclipse Indigo)
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2gwt/latest/3.7
Just check for the version you have. That should do the trick.
"select your GWT module file and right-click to select the Google Web Toolkit > Configure for using Ext GWT (GXT)" http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/features/gwt/gxt.html
Read setup.txt in ext-gwt zip:
STEP 1 -> Create a Google Web Application Project project within Eclipse.
Copy the contents of the /resources folder in the download to a {foldername} location within your war folder.
Substitute {foldername} with the name of the folder you've created for resources within your war folder.
STEP 3 -> Add the following stylesheet to your host page.
STEP 3b -> If you are using Charts, add the following script to your host page.
STEP 4 -> Add the following entry to you projects module xml file.
STEP 5 -> Eclipse Setup (should be similar for other development environments)
These instructions assume you have a existing project and launch configuration.
Add gxt.jar to the project.
a. Right click on project name in 'Package Explorer'.
b. Select 'Properties' from content menu.
c. Select 'Java Build Path'.
d. Select 'Libraries' tab.
e. Add the gxt.jar either with 'Add JARs...' or 'Add External JARs...'.
Add GXT jar to launch configuration.
a. Choose Run / Open Run Dialog.
b. Select your appropriate launch configuration under 'Java Application'.
c. Select the 'Classpath' tab.
d. Add the gxt.jar to the classpath.
that happened to me too. I had to install WindowBuilder Pro from the update site (you can found it here) and after that the "Google Web Toolkit > Configure for using Ext GWT (GXT)" option appeared.
Support for 3rd party components like GXT and SmartGWT is only available in the full version of GWT Designer available here...
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/download-gwtdesigner.html
Install the full version and then follow the instructions here...
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/features/gwt/gxt.html
I just had the same problem. The only way I got it working is this:
I installed the full version of GWT designer as recommended by Eric Clayberg's answer (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/download-gwtdesigner.html)
However, the instructions at http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/features/gwt/gxt.html didn't work, because there simply isn't any "Google Web Toolkit > Configure for using Ext GWT (GXT)" for me either.
So instead, I created a new Project, using: New Project > WindowBuilder/GWT Designer/Model/GWT Java Project:
I went through the Wizard, clicked Finish, and then it asked me about a GXT installation. The important thing is: You must select this now, I don't see any way to add this later. So navigate to a GXT installation folder. In that folder, I had to rename my "gxt-*.jar" to "gxt.jar" first, otherwise it couldn't be found (!).
Now, when opening a Java file using "Open With > GWT Designer", and selecting the Design view tab at the bottom of the editor - voila, the GXT menus appear.
