RCP ViewPart Wizard

Subclasses of the RCP ViewPart class can be created using the RCP ViewPart wizard. The wizard can be selected from the drop down WindowBuilder wizard menu or from the Eclipse New wizard.

To use the wizard, select the project source folder and package to contain the class. Then enter the class name, view name/title and hit the Finish button.

 

The wizard generates the following code.

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.ui.part.ViewPart;

public class RcpViewPart extends ViewPart {

    public static final String ID = "com.test.RcpViewPart"; //$NON-NLS-1$

    public RcpViewPart() {
    }

    @Override
    public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
        Composite container = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
    }

    @Override
    public void setFocus() {
        // set the focus
    }
}

When editing RCP ViewParts, all of the standard SWT layouts, containers and widgets are available. Custom or third party controls may be added via the Choose Component command.
