I would like to add flowchart in Eclispe RCP.
So I wanted to know is there any free plugin for this purpose? If yes, can anyone please send the link.
Thanks in advance
If you need an graphical editor the best choice is using EMF and GEF. A basic tutorial is here. If you just want to present a flowchart you can use any available chart library for Java and integrate it into your Eclipse RCP application.

I have installed Eclipse UML Generators in eclipse Luna using it's update site. The installation was successful, but there is no documentation in how to use the plugin.
My objective is to generate class diagrams from java code. Can I achieve it from the above plugin?
This question is old, but the answer could help other people :
In the package explorer, right click on the package containing classes about which you want to draw a diagram, select "UML Generators"->Reverse java code
You can use objectaid plugin to generate digrams in eclipse.well documented.
this is the closest i could find to some documentation

I need to modify project creation in eclipse. I would like to add my own project creation. For example, when developer selectes File->New->Project, I want my option (i.e, XYZ Java Project) under to be available. Is this possible ? If yes, i am looking for some direction to begin with ?
Thanks.
To begin with you need to contribute your own Eclipse Plug in. Download Eclipse plugin developers IDE from this Location.
You can contribute a Custom Project Wizard through Extensions.
Define your Project Nature
For reference you can check this example Create a Custom Project in Eclipse – New Project Wizard: the Behavior
Hope this helps !!
Yes you can. A robust way to do this is to make an eclipse plugin so that it gets added to the menu. I was just looking into this myself a couple of days ago and this is what I found.
Here are some links:
O'Reilly
Better yet though, let me just show you an answer about this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/299316/879485
If you use Maven you can have a look at archetypes. Maven also has the ability to create Eclipse projects. With this you should have all the tools necessary to automate whatever project layout you need to have.
Is it possible to create an extension or plugin for Eclipse that gives support to a specific language? Where i can find information about that? Also, can i repackage Eclipse, along with that plugin, and distribute the new package, just like PDT, for example?
Have a look at this page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/The_Official_Eclipse_FAQs
There is a section "Implementing Support for Your Own Language" at the bottom of that page.
You should definitely have a look at Xtext which allows you quite easily to get first grade ide support for your own langage.
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/
It's possible. In fact support for specific languages is implemented as plug-ins. See eclipse platform plug-in developers guide and then search for details. Or look for some book like eclipse plugins.
You can repackage and distribute new package. In fact eclipse license gives you more freedom in this than for example GPL.
I'm trying to create an awt and an lcdui custom component visual designer plugin for Eclipse or NetBeans. Drag and drop functionality should be supported.
I have already found this http://wiki.netbeans.org/JavaMEComponent_VDComponentProject but I get some errors on the way and cannot complete the whole process described.
Any other links for Netbeans case?
I haven't discovered anything concerning Eclipse. Any links please?
Google donated WindowBuilder pro to Eclipse, and it was available in the Indigo release (June 2010). See http://eclipse.org/windowbuilder/ and WindowBuilder Pro>Quick Start.
WindowBuilder comes with a set of toolkits already code that can be installed (Swing, SWT, eRCP, GWT). They are pluggable, so depending on your usecase you might be able to extend one of the existing toolkits or write your own (there must be docs for that somewhere :-)
I'm looking for resources to learn how to use effectively Eclipse forms within an Eclipse RCP application. I was trying to use the newest SWT Window Builder plugin on Indigo but building forms this way doesn't really work for me eg. cannot put anything inside expandable composite etc. (I have Swing background with Netbeans designer) and I'm new to SWT.
All I can find so far is this quite old tutorial from 2005.
Any help, point to good tutorial/book/source code sample will be highly appreciated.
I've found http://www.vogella.de/ to be invaluable.
Not much changed actually since the old 2005 tutorial so it's still very usable.
Check these out in addition too:
Eclipse Forms: New in 3.3
DeveloperWorks article on making forms Web-like
Cheers,
Max
I've also got the hint to start with vogella but after the first 2 topics I realized It's to hard to start with.
What helped me much more was to create each example/sample project and look for the source. Once you understood how all works you can lookup at vogella what you exactly need.
