I am developing an Eclipse plugin and I have created my own custom marker view for my own custom markers. Now I want to add a GroupBy-menu to the view like the GroupBy-menu of the Eclipse Problems-view where I can group markers by type, location etc. I know that I have to use the markerGrouping of the markerSupport-Extension point but I don't know how it works.

I have implemented Eclipse RCP product in 4.5 (Mars) version. There is a part with toolbar. I want to show the part toolbar always in full span (covering the entire width of the part) and not on the part stack (on right side of the part tab).
I tried to add Part-Toolbar-FullSpan tag to the Part and also to the part toolbar but it is not helping.
I also tried to create a custom toolbar but that approach did not work out.
Do you know how I can show the part toolbar in full span?
Thank you.
Part-Toolbar-FullSpan appears to be for the e(fx)clipse JavaFX stack renderer only so it won't work with SWT.
The SWT stack renderer org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.renderers.swt.StackRenderer uses the setTopRight method of CTabFolder to manage the toolbar. This will only push the toolbar on to a separate row when there not enough space for it on the tab row.
So it looks like the only way to do this would be to define a custom renderer factory and override the stack renderer. Unfortunately for what you want this would be a substantial change to the renderer.
I'm working on an Eclipse RCP 4 application and trying to add a HandledToolItem that displays both a label and an image to its left. Problem is whenever i add the image it only displays the image and hides the label. Is there any other way of getting this implemented other than creating a new ToolControl with a Button or a custom Toolbar that can handle this?
It would be nice to have the HandledToolItem because of the simpler management through Commands and Handlers.
Add FORCE_TEXT to the Tags (on the Supplementary tab) for the HandledToolItem in the e4xmi file.
I'm developing an Eclipse plugin where I need to add custom items to Eclipse's problems view. Custom items under maybe custom categories (for example list a bunch of problems under a category named "security").
I have looked into marker, but these are for file editors. I want to add custom items to the problems view without having to do anything with a source editor. Is that possible? Or do I have to create my own view?
Thanks!
I think you just need to add the problem view to your plug-in.
org.eclipse.ui.views.ProblemView
You can create markers on Folders/Projects. You don't need to have a File to create a marker. The markers can be grouped via the type of Marker in the Problems View
The Problems view only supports displaying markers.
Markers are associated with resources (usually files) but any plugin can create them, they don't have to done by editors.
Is there a way to (programmatically) make a certain IMarker be shown in the problem view, similar to what happens when the user selects "View in..." from the context menu? I have a wizard which may cause markers to appear, and I would like to make these markers visible in the problem view when the wizard is complete.
You will just have to make your markers to be problems. However there are separate Markers view that shows all the markers.
To show marker you can use MarkerViewUtil.showMarker(..)
Ignoring all good API rules, you could look into the internals of FiltersConfigurationDialog to create a new resource filter in the problems view programmatically. But I repeat: there is no API for creating problems filters and this might then break at any time.
I'm trying to build a similar menu like in http://www.gwt-ext.com/demo/#menuButton. But i am using the SmartGWT instead of GWT-Ext and GWT Designer in Eclipse. I have built the SectionStack and add to it 3 sections. My problem is that i do not know what components to add in each section to get the selected items as in the example 'Showcase Explorer' menu of the link. Like the example i want to fill each section with several text lines but if i add just Label components then there are not selectable like in the example (when you view the menu in accordion mode).
Why dont you use http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#menus_category_treebinding this menu instead?
