[news.eclipse.technology.ercp] Re: Develop eSWT app with Eclipse 3.2

["Mark Rogalski" <rogalski@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, it seems you're confusing the different types of application models. 
There are 3 possible:

1) Stand-alone app - jar file contains your app. No manifest needed since 
manifests are only needed for running in the OSGi framework. You have to 
have the eSWT jar on your classpath and the eSWT dll in your bin path. You 
start it like "j9 -jcl:foun11 -cp \eswt-converged.jar;\my-app.jar 
mypackage.MyMain "

2) RCP app - your app is a plug-in. It has a class extending 
AbstractUIPlugin. It is a jar in the plugins directory. eSWT in available 
via OSGi - no need to put it in the class/bin paths. You can start it like 
you tried.

3) eRCP app - your app is a plug-in. It has a class extending ViewPart. It 
has an extension for "org.eclipse.ercp.eworkbench.applications". It is a jar 
in the plugins directory. You launch it by starting eWorkbench and launching 
it from the workbench.

Since you said you only want to use eSWT and not the rest of eRCP, you 
should be following model 1.
