Hi,
I am currently working on an application which has
been built using the eclipse platform as the base. The
application requires to be enhanced so that the new views
developed using "org.eclipse.ui.views" extension point are
shown and hidden using some crawling animation.
This kind of questions is about pure-UI, JDT-dev is about Java
development tools. So I've forwarded it to platform-ui mailing-list.
I would like to know
1.
Is it possible to achieve the same using the eclipse platform?
Say, by modifications in the source code of eclipse?
I tend to believe that yes, it is possible; but I can't tell how...
2. By some third
party tools or plugins which can be used to achieve the
animation effect?
The Nebula project contains a component which allows to animate some
SWT widgets. It's called CWT
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Nebula_CWT_Animation and
http://blog.richeton.com/swt-animation-toolkit/ . However, I'm not
aware of a recent activity on this project, so if you use it, you'll
probably have to remove some dust and fix some bugs there.
But since Nebula is a welcoming project, it shouldn't be a problem:
