Developer Papercuts

Did you ever wounder what defines if a project is “pure” Java project or a Plugin project?

Have a look at the “.project” file. This file contains the description of your project. It contains a XML tag “natures” where the nature of the project is described. A plugin project has the nature “org.eclipse.pde.PluginNature” and a java project has the nature “org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature”.

These tags will also steer some behavior of the development environment, e.g. a project with PluginNature will update the java class path if you change the dependency information in a plugin project. For example if you add the “org.eclipse.pde.PluginNature” to an existing Java project you get the PDE menu for your project.

I finally found the time to write a small converter to convert the source code of code examples from my webpage to browseable HTML pages. The output is not nice formated but should help people which are having problems to get a specific example running to see what the problem is.

I currently included only a few examples from new all-time favorite Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) with Eclipse Europa (3.3) – Tutorial
If you would like to see other examples posted please drop me an email.
