It is theoretically possible, but it is not something we currently support. You will most likely need to create a custom subclass of ApplicationContext that uses the AWT/SWT bridge to host the context's DisplayHost in the SWT Composite.

Out of curiosity, what is the use case you are trying to address?

Thanks for the pointer. I was able to integrate pivot jars into the RCP. Now the next step i was trying is to render the labels,text, etc onto the eclipse view.

For swt we use the Composite object to render.
Eg:
Composite parent;
label l = new label(parent, SWT.WRAP);
l.setText("Test Label");

Was wondering if its possible to render the pivot label object onto the RCP's Composite parent object?

Thanks,

With Eclipse RCP, you're operating in a plugin (OSGi-type) environment, so you'll probably need to configure something in the manifest or one of the plugin declaration files.

There should be a tutorial somewhere about integrating third-party jars.

Thanks for the reply. I do have all the jars in the build path already. Still it never works.

Sounds like you need to make sure the Pivot JARs are on your classpath.

However, you are somewhat in uncharted waters. Pivot is based on AWT and Java2D, whereas Eclipse uses SWT. You may need to use the AWT/SWT bridge to accomplish what you are trying to do. This is not something we have tested, so you may run into issues that we are not aware of and may not be able to resolve.

But please let us know how it goes. Others may be able to share some experience that may help, and we will try to be of assistance if we can.

Hi,

Was trying to use pivot in an Eclipse RCP application. When I try to instantiate any object (like Label) within a view, i get a run time exception of NoClassDefenition found.

Any one has tried this before?  Any examples?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
-Manoj.
