Description Eddie Galvez CLA 2006-03-31 15:50:07 EST 
I think I got the Component right (since I see that the OLE Editor class is org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OLE)...

I would like to submit a feature request to see the OLE editor extracted away from the ui.ide plugin and appear as a supported RCP component.

What troubles me is that RCP has a lot of ole code and checks that go very deep before bailing out due to not having the ui.ide bundle loaded. This results in RCP apps that will display "no in-place editor support" even though the IEditorRegistry will return true to isSystemInPlaceEditorAvailable(String), it seems.

Boris, I'm actually more concerned that we may be reporting the editor as 'available' when it won't (might not?) work...

Is this still a problem in 3.3 RC4?

I have a little RCP app that has IResources but does not include an IDE plugins.  I am able to open a Word file in-place (OLE).  My app *does* have some code copied from the IDE WorkbenchAdvisor but that's it.

Mind you I thought I saw the "no in-place editor support" error recently but wasn't sure how it came about.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
