[news.eclipse.tools] [JFace] How do you convert an application into a st

[Hans Deragon <hans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings.


  I reported bug #35715:

http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/votes.cgi?action=show_bug&bug_id=35715

  Apparently, I need to initialize the platform before using JFace.  The 
response in the bug report suggest that I should convert my application into a 
 standalone plugin using the org.eclipse.core.runtime.application.

  How do you do this?  I looked at the documentation, but I cannot figure out 
where to start, i.e. what menu item to call up to refactor the project.

  Also, I am assuming that converting my standalone application into a 
standalone plugin will work outside the Eclipse platform (i.e. without Eclipse 
running).  If such is not the case, please advise me and I will remove any 
JFace references out of my code.  Also, is there some special magic that needs 
to be done to get a standalone plugin running by itself, or I only need to 
provide the required packages?


Sincerely,
Hans Deragon
