Hello,
I am primarily a RCP developer building an application. My RCP editor and view parts have a lot of GUI components that I woud like to build in a GUI builder. I want to know how I would do this using myeclipseide and matisee4myeclipse? I see a way to create a new. How will my RCP view display this form?

Is more RCP support planned for Matisee4MyEclipse?

I am still evaluating myeclipse. If I cannot build rcp applications using a GUI builder then myeclispe is of no use to my company.

Thanks,
KTC

KTC,
If you are looking exclusively for RCP tools using the Eclipse platform, please take a look at Instantiations toolset.

Thanks for pointing me to instantiations. But can i use myeclipse+mantiss4myeclipse to design editorpart and viewparts? I don;t want full rcp support like the instantiations toolkit. I want a gui builder to build the editorparts and viewparts. Can your professional edition do this?

Thanks,
KTC

KTC,
The Matisse4MyEclipse is a Swing-based designer, it cannot create EditorParts and ViewParts.

The following is from a description of Matisse4MyEclipse. Guess i misunderstood. Thanks for clearing up that MyEclipse is not for me. It looks like MyEclipse is not the right toolset for me.

“…..Matisse4MyEclipse was developed by Genuitec’s R&D lab to meet increasing customer demand for MyEclipse to provide world-class Swing RCP developer tools.”

KTC,
The follow description is accurate, Matisse4MyEclipse is to developer *Swing-based* RCP apps, the question you had was specifically for Eclipse-based concepts (EditorParts and ViewParts), these are Eclipse/SWT constructs and not part of Swing, so MyEclipse doesn’t support them.

Again I really think the Instantiation toolset is what you are looking for if you are building ontop of the Eclipse platform, they are really good tools.

Hope that helps.
