Eclipse Common Navigator Framework

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Michael “Mike” L. Baird, http://bairdphotos.com/
Just finished to correct mistakes (thanks to Francis) in the article I posted about the usage of the Common Navigator Framework (CNF). In doing so the article incorporates the information already covered in different blogs, but also focuses on the specific use case of providing a view of data structure completely unrelated to the Eclipse platform resources. So the aim is not to add some content to the “Project Explorer” which is an example of resource-oriented CNF usage, but to provide a view on a completely own data model. This post fostered some communication with Francis regarding the CNF documentation provided in Eclipse, so I’m happy if my contributions can be valuable. As usual, this kind of content goes to TechJava….

EclipseDemoCamp The Galileo Edition of Eclipse is already in the pipeline and the community is happy to celebrate this with a series of events. In Hamburg we do it in two ways – there are Eclipse DemoCamps and Eclipse Stammtisch. This time Peter and Martin managed to put both events together. To make it short:

I’m attending. If you want to attend, make sure you find a minute to write you name down in EclipseWiki.. If you want to read more, look at the original post at TechJava…. See you on the DemoCamp.

helpEclipse Platform provides a help system that can be used during creation of the help content for your application. It is very convenient while used inside of the IDE, but needs a special approach if used in the RCP. This article tries to gather the information which may be useful.

You can find more on that in post just published by me on TechJava…
