Documentation

[bradMaupin]

Thanks for creating the document as it has helped me out already (and I've been programming w/ RCP for 5 months solid). I also see some other items I will read to figure out some RCP aspects that I do not currently use or understand.

Great to also see your enthusiasm and that RCP will be moving forward.

Thanks for addressing the JIRA issues. I hope you can tell that mine were basically the result of some misunderstanding of RCP. I hope my formBuilder example is some help in creating a new, more powerful builder.

As you asked what i would read about.

I mentioned the command framework a little bit more detailed.

And Browsing the Java Doc:

i am also interested in SettingsManager, Wizard.

The document is excellent, even though the fact that you are not a native English speaker shows. (Don't get me wrong, my Dutch/Flemish/French would not be anywhere near comprehensible!)

If you want to put the source document somewhere, I'd be happy to proof it for you.

As far as content goes, I'd really like to see more examples of Wizards (perhaps with one page depending on the values entered in a previous one).

Thanks a lot for doing this!

Sure, I'd be happy to... Mind you, it's written in word 2007 (although I hate MS, Word is still the fastest way to write a somewhat good-looking document)... Just PM me your e-mail address.

I do know my English isn't perfect at all, but it serves its purpose: getting the message to the people . As for the wizards, I'm actually looking into adding a more elaborate example, but adding this in a document in a concise way isn't easy (I don't want to create a document with 5 consecutive pages of code).

Hi Lieven,

thanks for doing this, I think the documentation has been the major limiting factor in people using the project. I've just printed it out and I'll read it in detail the next few days and send my comments and suggestions.

One thing out of left field. Geertjan at javalobby did a great series of articles aimed at an introduction to Spring RCP. Have you thought of contacting him to see if there's a way of using his articles as part of the documentation, either integrated or as a standalone series?

[LievenDoclo]

Yeah, I read all of the articles and added some stuff I forgot. Peter Karich also wrote some articles, which I read off course. I'll contact Geertjan one of these days to get his input, since I think he too might be able to provide valuable input.

Adding an example to use the progress monitor with the statusbar in the documentation would be nice

[LievenDoclo]

I'll take it into consideration

Another possible addition to the documentation with an example: A correct use of a master/detail form

[ccamr]

yes i would also like a concrete documented example for the master/detail concept.
