I created a sample eclipse rcp application and create some Views.
I added a Window menu and under that added command org.eclipse.ui.window.showViewMenu
for showing the ShowView functionality of eclipse. But when I run my rcp application Showview is disabled.
How can I enable the ShowView menu for my rcp application? Even if it is enabled, will
I get option for Seeing only the views which I created associated with my eclipsed rcp application?

I am currently working with e4 application where I want to hide some toolbar buttons when the application is in certain perspective. In eclipse 3.x, I used to do it by perspective property tester using extension. But in e4, is there any way to do the same?
i made standalone RCP application that consists of an application window with a single view.
i want to change this program to perspective view.
so how can i change this program ?
I have built a RCP application with Intropage in HTML. I also have other perspectives in the application. How do call (or load) a perspective from a button click in the HTML intro page ?
You can find views like
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getViewRegistry().find(id)
or perspectives like
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getPerspectiveRegistry().getPerspectives()
A simple question :
I am using Eclipse 3.7 Indigo and have updated the GWT (2.4) Eclipse plugin.
Now I can't find the GWT compile button in the main toolbar.
Previously there was this symbol in the main toolbar ,
but after the update, this button has disappeared and the compile action has been moved as a submenu entry into the "Google Services and Development Tools", represented in the main toolbar by this symbol .
Is there a way to add the GWT compile button to the main toolbar or to specify a shortcut?
It's really exhausting to click on the "Google Services and Development Tools" to reach the compile submenu entry :-)
Highlight your project
right-click on it
go down in the dropdown menu to "Google"
The submenu of "Google" will have the "GWT Compile" button
In Eclipse Juno, GWT Compile option is located on the toolbar underneath the Google logo as seen here:
There is no key binding in Eclipse Juno for GWT Compile. That seems to be something the plugin could provide, but does not.
You can add a button for any command to the toolbar by go to Window -> Customize Perspective and exploring the dialog there. You may need to enable things using the Command and Menu visibility and then in the first tab you can add the buttons to the toolbar.
I don't know of a way to add the toolbar item back, but you can run the compiler via keyboard shortcut:
Debug Compile GWT Application, Alt+Shift+D, C
Run Compile GWT Application, Alt+Shift+X, C
You can also customize the keyboard shortcut if you wish, by going to Window->Preferences->Keys.
If you want to compile a GWT application, you should install the Google plugin. Here are the links.
Whenever I hit Debug or Run in Eclipse, I get a dialog asking me what configuration I want to use.
How do I set a default configuration and bind a keyboard shortcut?

How to run the last launched application
The answer lies in a preference hidden on the Run/Debug page:
Go to Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Launching.
Select the option Always launch the previously launched application. It’s located at the bottom of the dialog.
The preference should look something like this:
Now you’re free to press
F11, Ctrl+F11 or click the Run/Debug
icons on the toolbar with confidence, knowing it’s going to run what
you expect it to run.
One question arises: How do you quickly run a class as a specific
application (eg. a JUnit test) if you can’t press F11 to
run it? You have some options available:
The fastest way is to use keyboard shortcuts. Eclipse allows you to launch classes using a keystroke, including JUnit tests, Java
applications, etc using Alt+Shift+X.
Alternatively, right-click on the class and select Run As. The submenu will show available options for launching the class.
Lastly, you could click the pulldown arrow on the run/debug icons in the toolbar and select Run As. The submenu once again shows
available options for launching the class.
Eclipse plug-ins that add new project types may contribute 'Launch Configurations' to control how Eclipse executes the application. For example, J2EE based projects need to publish content and start the application server. Contrast this with simply starting a JVM for a regular Java application.
When you select a configuration, Eclipse records this for future use. You can access these by selecting the 'Run/Run Configurations' menu item or selecting 'Run Configurations' from the little drop down menu next to the run and debug toolbar buttons. You can also add new launch configurations through the Run/Debug Configurations dialog that opens. In this dialog, you should see one or more configurations that you previously launched. Selecting one reveals all the info Eclipse uses to launch your application. One tab called 'Common' contains options for controlling the your favorites menu. Checking the box next to Run or Debug will add this launch configuration to the top of its corresponding menu.
If you only have a single configuration in your menu then Eclipse will launch it when you click the associated button. If you have more than one then Eclipse launches (sometimes) the most recently used. I say sometimes because, occasionally, one launch configuration causes another to launch, which cause the last used configuration to be the second one when you would expect it to be the first one. Usually this happens to me when I launch an application, which needs to be built and the build launches a tool. When this happens, just select the correct launch configuration from the drop down menu.
You can bind a keystroke combination to the Run and Debug commands through the 'Windows/Preferences' menu item. Then select 'General/Keys' in the tree control on the left.
