Using JViews Maps in SWT applications
The Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) is the windowing toolkit of the Eclipse™ development environment and the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP).
An Eclipse RCP application with JViews Maps is implemented in the same way as a Swing application. Additional considerations are explained in Using JViews Diagrammer in SWT Applications in Using JViews products in Eclipse RCP applications.
Installing the JViews runtime plug-in
Rogue Wave® JViews Maps provides jar files in the form of a pre-packaged Eclipse plug-in. The name of this package is ilog.views.eclipse.maps.runtime.
In order to install the Eclipse plug-ins, you need to install from the local site as shown below.
For Eclipse 3.7 and later:
1. Launch your Eclipse installation.
2. Go to Help/Install New Software.
3. Add a new local site: Click Add, then Local, and then specify the directory <installdir>/jviews-framework/tools/ilog.views.eclipse.update.site
4. Select the features you want to install, and then click Next.
In your applications, you need the ilog.views.eclipse.maps.defense.runtime plug-in and its dependencies:
*ilog.views.eclipse.maps.runtime
*ilog.views.eclipse.diagrammer.runtime (optional)
*ilog.views.eclipse.framework.runtime
