Hello Peter, I’m try to run example in eclipse 3.6 (helios version) and I´m having some problems to generate the code (second part). Could you give me a help? Thanks.

Hi Jan,
glad you found out how to make sure you’ve got all required bundles up and running. Usually, clicking on “add required bundles” is the way to go. Maybe I should clarify the tutorial in this regard.

Ah, got it!
For some reason, the “Run as” > “Eclipse Application” launcher by default did not include all the necessary runtime plug-ins needed to know and use the newly generated editor.
Try “Run as” -> “Run Configurations…”, tab “Plug-ins” and select Launch with: “all workspace and enabled target plug-ins” instead of “plug-ins selected below only” — or leave it, but click “Add Required Plug-ins” and check it with “Validate Plug-ins”.
(This is Eclipse 3.5.2, maybe I am falling behind ?)

Thanks for a great tutorial and a smart product – I can’t make it work but that is probably my fault entirely

I have followed the tutorial very faithfully, and everything looks exactly like described up to the point where I try to run the generated editor – the spawned workbench simply does not know the file extension or the editor and uses the default Text Editor instead.

Any hints where I should start looking?

Adrian,
no problem.

The outline usually is not used to display all files in your project. The project explorer and package explorer are the views that are intended to be used for this. You can customize their behaviour using the Common Navigator Framework. If you want to write your own IDE and thus can change the UI behaviour as you see fit, you might want to write your own navigator which allows users to open files with a single click. When your IDE is running as a part of Eclipse you shouldn’t alter UI behaviour in this way, as this will confuse users.

Hope this helps.
