RE: [jwt-dev] Plugin mode check

Hi Florian,

Along with the views the “workflow perspective” lays out, I think there are other JWT behaviors too dependent upon the plugin mode like the “New Workflow Wizard” which presents a dialog box to select a folder within your workspace if JWT is running within Eclipse.

My RCP app also implements a view to user’s local workspace using Common Navigator framework. Hence, I would like the “New Workflow Wizard” to not skip the first page which lets the user select a folder within the workspace when running within an RCP application.

I think an extension point approach would definitely be more suitable to override such default behaviors but since I do not have much experience with defining them maybe Chris can shed some more light on the issue.

Regards,

Ravi

Hi Ravi,

I also stumbled about that a few weeks ago. Actually, this is in my opinion a bug. I have it on my to do list to open a new bug for that in the Eclipse bugzilla. In my solution (where I also built an RCP application on top of JWT), I changed the JWT locally and said that if the name contains “RCP” then it should be in another mode than if only in plugin-mode.

But I didn’t commit that patch yet and are not completely sure that it is the best way to work with that. Maybe there is a better idea? Something which is always present when having an application? Maybe we could create an extension point for that?

As Chris implemented this, I guess, he might have further ideas...

Best regards,

Florian

Betreff: [jwt-dev] Plugin mode check

Hi,

The plugin mode check done by GeneralHelper has been hard coded for “agilpro” as below:

if (Platform.getProduct().getName() != null

&& Platform.getProduct().getName().toLowerCase().contains("agilpro")) //$NON-NLS-1$

{

return false;

}

else

{

return true;

}

I’m trying to integrate JWT with my RCP app and unless I have “agilpro” in my product name the “workflow editor” perspective opens up the “Package Explorer” view which fails. In JWT 0.5 the code checked for “eclipse” in the product name which seems to be the right approach.

So, how do I get around this in JWT 0.6?

Regards,

Ravi
