Spring with Eclipse RCP anyone?

[mjeaslea]

I too am desperate to see some sample code about using Spring from within Eclipse.

Something like a Eclipse treeview bound to an Spring model would be excellent

Even some basic code would be fantastic - has anyone seen any web pages with this sort of code? Any Sourceforge projects?

Cheers

Sorry for the wait..

I have now published what I have done on my webpage. You can find it at: http://folk.uio.no/olepaa/spring/

Sorry to mjeaslea, I havn't got any code that binds it to a treeview yet, but I don't expect it to be to hard.

Good luck.

Thank for posting the code, i've just downloaded it and started having a look.

What i'm wondering is the most approriate way to use the spring ApplicationContext object within my RCP product.

E.g. is it the Content Provider class in Eclipse that wraps around a set of calls to Spring?

Do you have any small samples that use the Alternative Classes you've provided?

Cheers

olepaa,

The code could successfully load the config files, but all other resources required by the libraries failed to load...

My RCP is using ibatis and Spring. From the console I saw Spring could not find the SQL error code XML inside its spring.jar; the same problem happened when iBatis finding the DTD from its jar too.

Is there anyone successfully solved Eclipse's classloader problem with this AlternateClassPathXmlApplicationContext?

And BTW, I didn't use the Spring plugins; instead I have them placed at my project's lib. Is it the trick that made iBatis and Spring could not find resources from their own jar? :? Could you give me some hints on this?

TIA,
Raymond

I realise that this thread is old, but I thought I'd share a project I found for Eclipse RCP Spring integration: https://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-spring/

I have yet to implement it - just found it an hour ago, but it looks promising. If anyone is using it, or has a found something else, I'd appreciate your comments.

Cheers
