Description Thomas Berger CLA 2020-12-21 05:35:51 EST
I downloaded WindowBuilder from git (https://git.eclipse.org/c/windowbuilder/org.eclipse.windowbuilder.git) and import the GIT archive into my workspace using Eclipse 2019-12. I receive the following 2 errors:

The import org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TableTreeViewer cannot be resolved	TableTreeViewerTest.java	/org.eclipse.wb.tests/src/org/eclipse/wb/tests/designer/rcp/model/jface	line 16	Java Problem

The import org.eclipse.swt.custom.TableTree cannot be resolved	TableTreeTest.java	/org.eclipse.wb.tests/src/org/eclipse/wb/tests/designer/rcp/model/widgets	line 16	Java Problem

As a result, I cannot proceed, the project in error:

http://blog.vogella.com/2010/01/13/treetableviewer/
says
"There are many snippets using Tree with multiple columns e.g. http://wiki.eclipse.org/JFaceSnippets#Snippet026TreeViewerTabEditing. Please note that TableTree and TableTreeViewer are deprecated framework classes and one should always use a TreeViewer inconjunction with TreeViewerColumn"

As a quick fix I have commented the lines causing the error. What I understand, the code in the string - which WB uses to generate - needs to be updated, but this is beyond my capacity as beginner.

maybe some can have a look fix this?

Resolved.

The bug was repurposed to a webmaster request. Reopening.

Done. It may take some time to fall out of the cache.
