    What support does MyEcplise offer for designing the UI for an RCP application that is SWT based not SWING? I’m hoping it has a round trip capability to visually layout SWT controls and then switch to a code view.

    Thanks for helping!

    tvogel,

    1)Can you share your build id from Help > About MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench > Build id? Paste it here.

    2) Matisse4MyEclipse only supports Swing but you could install the WindowBuilder plugin using the MyEclipse Configuration Center. The related software for that has a SWT designer.

    Here is a thread which lists the update site for WindowsBuilder according to the base version of Eclipse for your MyEclipse (Ex : If you are working on ME 9.0 then use the update site for Eclipse 3.6).
    http://code.google.com/javadevtools/download-wbpro.html

    3) Here are the steps to install it using the update site :

    1. Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on Help > MyEclipse Configuration Center.
    2. Open Software tab
    3. Click on “add site”. This will open Add Update site window. Add the update site url and name.
    5. Expand WindowsBuilder under personal sites till the child nodes. Right click on each child node and click on [add to profile]
    6. Click on [Apply x changes]
    7. Accept software licenses when prompted
    7. This will open a wizard which will guide you through the rest of the steps
    8. When prompted, please choose to restart the IDE

    4) Here is a thread which explains install through update site with screenshots :

    Let me know how this works for you.

    If you are using MyEclipse 9, then open the MyEclipse Configuration Center using Help > MyEclipse Configuration Center and go to the Dashboard tab. Under “MyEclipse Features”, select the “SWT Designer for MyEclipse” and apply this update.

    The SWT Designer is part of the Window Builder Pro series of products and supports the development of JFace/RCP applications.

    Hope this helps.

    Brian – Thanks! The install worked fine.

    Are there any starter kits / examples for using this tool?
