Re: [Java-gnome-developer] bonobo and eclipse

[Mark H. <mh...@ti...>]

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

Java-Gnome provides an API for writing java applications with gtk or gnome
interfaces. Eclipse uses an alternative, SWT, for its interface. If you want to
get eclipse to use a bonobo editor, you probably have to use a swt bonobo
component. 
I could be wrong though, so if you'd like to loko at eclipse source more, please
feel free to do so. AFAIK, the only eclipse plugin related to java-gnome did not
do anything with a java-gnome ui, it just had helper scripts for creating
java-gnome projects. Again, I could be completely wrong about this --
unfortunately this eclipse java-gnome plugin is no longer maintained and the
developer cannot be found.
