I'm developing an eclipse application in Linux and I'm fairly new to eclipse RCP.
My application is built from already existing plugins, such as eclipse's project explorer, etc.
I'd like to add the pydev python console as a plugin to my application.
I know that adding plugins to an eclipse application is done through the extensions tab on MANIFEST.MF but I can't find any examples on google on adding the pydev console.
Can someone help?
Thanks,
Dolev.

I am currently working on eclipse plug-in that involves many modules, and I would like to debug and run this eclipse plug-in from IntelliJ.I open this project in IntelliJ to edit code but when I have to run/debug this project I have to open eclipse IDE and start it from there. How can I use IntelliJ to do this?
I haven't actually tried this ... but you could try launching the RCP application stand alone but with the remote debug parameters specified for in your application's .ini file.
Then just point IntelliJ to the appropriate source and attach it's debugger to the running app.
Why do you want to do that? Eclipse has multiple tools for the plugin development that you will miss in IntelliJ. Also you need to build your plugin as product headless and then attach a debugger to it.
In my opinion it doesn't worth the effort. I would install Eclipse and devolop with eclipse.
I downloaded the eclipse language pack from the following site:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/babel_language_packs/R0.10.1/indigo/indigo.php
I put the downloaded plugins in the plugin folder of my eclipse installation.
My question: How do I use these plugins with my eclipse RCP application now?
I seem to be unable to add them to my application because I can select them no where. I also tried to drop them into the plugin folder of my RCP application after I exported the application and adding the plugin names to the config.ini but I had no success.
I'd appreciate any help on this topic since I'm stuck :(
Since 3.6 or so, Eclipse doesn't try to find additional plugins in the plugins folder; it will only consider what has been installed with p2 (i.e. via the "Install New Software" menu or the marketplace).
There should be a dropins folder next to the plugins folder; put the language packs in there and Eclipse should automatically pick them up.
See the documentation for details.
We are writing an Eclipse plugin that will work in a ClearCase environment i.e., our plugin will work along with the ClearCase SCM plugin for eclipse(available from IBM).
When developing the plugin, our eclipse(RCP & RAP) don't need ClearCase plugin. However, when we launch the plugin thru "Eclipse Application Launcher", the new eclipse does need the ClearCase plugin.
Is it possible to configure the "Eclipse Application Launcher" to include ClearCase plugin(or any different plugin that's not in the base eclipse) when it fires up another eclipse instance?
I could not find a way to do this from the documentation.
I think Target platform is what you are looking for.
You can use a pure Eclipse release(such as Juno) as development tool, then use another collection of compile and runtime plug-ins via specifying a target platform.
I need to create a dynamic web project in Eclipse but the option doesn't appear anymore.
I installed Google Web Apps engine(JAVA) and its SDK along with GWT, ever since the option for dynamic project has disappeared.
Also the option to generate web client from WSDL files is no longer there.
I've tried re-installing the web app toolkit for eclipse but still it's not working.
Any pointers to get back these options would be great
Thanks
Maybe Eclipse WTP plugin has been accidently removed. Have you tried re-installing WTP using this location ? If I were you I would have reinstall Eclipse from strach or even better try Spring ToolSuite which integrates with Google Plugin for Eclipse seamlessly (usign Extenstions tab on STS Dashboard)
I have downloaded eclipse i'm trying to create a form in eclipse, where i can see the tools with texbox, button..etc in eclipse ? please help me to get the toolkit. I used the toolkit in Visual Studio, is there any toolkit for eclipse? I'm using Eclipse Indigo, in vista system.
For desktop apps (Swing or Eclipse SWT), there's WindowBuilder. It's one of the core features that is included in the Eclipse for Java Developers package you can download from www.eclipse.org. If you downloaded a different Eclipse package, use Help > Install New Software to install WindowBuilder into your Eclipse.
For web pages, the Eclipse for Java EE Developers package includes a Web Page Editor with source view and "design" view. Design View has a palette of components that you can drag and drop to construct a page.
