When adding views to an RCP application, the right click menu only has “Generic” as a choice. Based on a Google search, this indicates that the RCP bundles are not installed. I have reviewed the Software Center but can not find the install for these bundles.

Is there a pre-built install for RCP development within MyEclipse or do I have to add the bundles by hand? If by hand, can you list for me the correct bundles?

tvogel ,

Thank you for the steps.I could see the issue at my end.
I will discuss it with the dev team and get back to you.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

MyEclipse is not an IDE targeted for RCP development so we do not include all RCP bundles. That said, you will need to include Eclipse RCP JDK to be able to work with RCP applications.

Go to MyEclipse Configuration Center > Software tab. In the Browse Software section type RCP. You will see Eclipse RCP JDK under Eclipse 3.6( Helios) Discovery > Uncategorized section. Add it to the profile, apply the changes and follow the wizard. Restart the IDE when prompted.This should get you working with RCP applications.

Also take a look at this thread which details about RCP development in Eclipse and the required features to be added to Eclipse for the same. You can work on the same lines with MyEclipse.

Hope this helps.

Swapna,
Thanks that fixed the issue.

I did have an additional problem that the companion library could not be found after the install. I followed the instructions in https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/install-of-rcp-sdk-ontop-of-8-6-causes-quot-companion-erro/&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=companion+shared+library which resolved that issue.
