Far too nice a number to have a spelling mistake in the summary. :)

Any wagers on how long till bug 100000? :-)

PDE has added an RCP Mail template (courtesy of Jean-Michel) that can show how 
to:

- add a top-level menu and toolbar with actions
- add keybindings to actions
- create views that can't be closed and
  multiple instances of the same view
- perspectives with placeholders for new views
- use the default about dialog
- create a product definition


As with other pde templates, this template has been parameterized so it is 
customizable in the wizard, e.g. you can name the product, selected classes as 
you wish in the wizard.

When the template is created, you can quickly launch it either through:
1. the link on the overview page of the plugin editor.
OR
2. through the Run As > Eclipse Application context menu item found on the 
plugin project.

It will come up in product mode complete with branding, etc.

Thanks Jean-Michel for a very nice piece of work.

verified, nice to see the splash screen appearing.

Is this new template something that could be extracted and backed into Eclipse 
3.0.1 or is it using something new in 3.1?

Would be nice in 3.0.1 as well.

Comment 7 Wassim Melhem 2004-12-16 09:41:22 EST

while the template itself uses nothing that is 3.1-specific, the new plugin 
wizard itself has undergone many changes in the 3.1 cycle to accomodate an RCP 
path.  All those changes are way too big for a maintenance release tolerance 
level.

Comment 8 Jean-Michel Lemieux 2004-12-16 10:22:19 EST

The generated example uses no new 3.1 functionality. However, launching of the
product and getting the splash screen is provided by new 3.1 PDE features.
