Note: I put the example project in a ZIP file, you can use that to have a look to the actual code, Download. Start In the first step, we create a sample plugin project (Mail project): Make the perspective bar visible This needs to be done in the ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor.java class, in the preWindowOpen method: IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer …
In my recent RCP app some unwanted preferences, contributed from other plugins showed up: To remove them, just add the following code to your WorkbenchAdvisor class: public void postStartup(){ PreferenceManagerpm=PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getPreferenceManager(); pm.remove( "org.eclipse.help.ui.browsersPreferencePage" ); //remove single contribution pm.removeAll(); //just remove all }

Selecting a row by index in a table viewer isn’t very straightforward. There is no method like tableViewer.setSelectionIndex. Here is a snippet how its done: int selection = 5; //row we want to select tableViewer.setSelection(new StructuredSelection(tableViewer.getElementAt(selection)),true);
If you create a new RCP application a view gets a tab like this: To remove the tab, use the “addStandaloneView” method in your perspective. Here is an example: public class Perspective implements IPerspectiveFactory { public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) { String editorArea = layout.getEditorArea(); layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false); layout.addStandaloneView(View.ID, false, IPageLayout.LEFT, 1.0f, editorArea); } } The result:
If you create a string in an EMF model, its null by default: If you want to have an empty string, instead of null, you have to enter a “Default Value Literal”. For an empty string, just click on the value and hit enter (very obvious): To get the null value back, just click on …
Here is short code snippet to open an URL with the systems standard browser: public void openUrl(String url) throws IOException, URISyntaxException { if(java.awt.Desktop.isDesktopSupported() ) { java.awt.Desktop desktop = java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop(); if(desktop.isSupported(java.awt.Desktop.Action.BROWSE) ) { java.net.URI uri = new java.net.URI(url); desktop.browse(uri); } } } java.awt.Desktop is supported as of Java 6.
