on Jul 16th, 2010Sample code updated

I just uploaded a new version of the Eclipse RCP book second edition sample code. You can connect to the software site (http://eclipsercp.org) and updating your current Samples Manager or installing the new one if you don’t have it already installed.  We are also making available an archive of the software site for those looking to get around firewall issues.

Below is a quick summary of the changes in this new version:

  • General clean up of glitches and errata reported by readers/reviewers
  • New target platform that is smaller and more complete
  • Chapter 14 code updated to better reflect the use of p2
  • Chapter 9 product definition updated to export and produce the correct launcher on Mac
  • Fixes to avoid NPEs and other problems when login to a chat server was not possible

Check out the new samples and be sure to let us know on the forums if there are problems.

    Hi,
    Just bought the book and installed the Sample Manager. While I get RCP Book menu item, and access to the chapters view, I do not get the RCP Book > Load Target option, no do I see a Load target Button in the samples manger view.

    Please advise.

    Right click in the Sample Manager. There should be a “Load Target” menu entry.

    Hello
    I bought the book and try to install the software. But for chapter 10, I receive a bunch of compilation error. There seems to be an mismatch of the samples with the jivesoftware-libraries (a lot of constants and method calls used in the samples are missing). Do I miss something?
    Best Regards
    Anders

    Thanks for the complement. Its all in the CSS. I’m by no means an expert. We just started with a simple clean theme we already had and did some tweaks. Sorry, not specific words of wisdom.
