JIDE on Eclipse Platform

[finger77]

Hi all,

I think JIDE is a very good swing framework. I feel that the Eclipse platform is lacking on a jdk compatible desktop framework. Would JIDE be ported to the Eclipse platform?

[JIDE Support]

Our components are fully Swing compatible. We have no plan to rewrite our components in SWT. However if you can any other Swing components such as JTable, JTextField in Eclipse, you can use ours as well. I recently read news at http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-3.0-200406251208/eclipse-news-part1-R3.html which says "SWT now supports embedding Swing/AWT widgets inside SWT widgets." If so, you will have no problem using all components from JIDE.

Thanks.

The link to eclipse's website (reference to the Eclipse support for Swing is not valid) Can you please advise where to look for that ?

[JIDE Support]

Hi Nik,

I just updated the link to reflect the corret location. When getting on that page, search for "embed" and you will find it.

Thanks.

Hello,

I will try the demo QuickFilter within Eclipse SWT Shell and some features
doesn't work:
- pop menu on [?] filter button
- Edit cell doesn't accept key!!!

Do you know if i have to do something more to provide the compatibility?
I have to choose a powerfull library and JIDE is very attrative but we want to use RCP...

run my code please :

... to run the example use in eclipse the option
Run As...
--> SWT Application

thanks

[blumbroso]

I have tried with JDK 1.4.2 and it works fine!!

but with JDK1.6 no!...

[JIDE Support]

Can you elaborate the two issues? I didn't understand what you mean by "filter button" and "edit cell".

- pop menu on [?] filter button
- Edit cell doesn't accept key!!!

Thanks,

[blumbroso]

ok...

- pop menu on [?] filter button
--> When you click on the "?" near the the textfield for search

- Edit cell doesn't accept key!!!
--> when you enter in a cell of the table

if you try my code in JDK1.6, you will see in one second what i try to tell you.

PS: on eclipse project add the SWT library in build bath

[JIDE Support]

I didn't realize it was a JDK1.6 only thing. I just tried in JDK1.6 and it is not working. For popup menu, I debug and find JPopupMenu#show method is called but nothing is display. For the edit cell, it doesn't accept any keys at all. I think this is beyond the reach of JIDE. I tried to do

return new JScrollPane(new JTable(tableModel));

in getDemoPanel which means not JIDE code is used, I still cannot edit the cell. So you probably report this bug to Swing team against JDK1.6 before it is formal released.

Thanks,

[bogdoll]

Hi,

it is now 3 years later as the previous post. and it seems I have exactly the same problem.
Most mouse stuff doesn't work in the jide pivot grid which is embedded into an eclipse RCP.
I'm using JDK 1.6.

I can't click into an cell to get there an editor, I can't resize the cell, also the mouse wheel
doesn't work. If I use my test program outside of eclipse all works fine.

Any news on that problem?

Thanks,
Dieter

[JIDE Support]

Even though people are using Swing (including using JIDE) inside SWT through Swing-SWT bridge, but IMHO, it is far from perfect. Most importantly, it is not going to be a long term solution. We will not provide any technical support on using JIDE inside SWT. It is not we don't want to but not possible for us to support.

Thanks,

[manser]

@bogdoll

Ignore this post if you've already bought a full licence for JIDE and you still have this issue.

We found in our evaluation of JIDE that the evaluation popup was causing our application within the Eclipse RCP to have issues (similar to what you're describing). We're pretty sure that it's the evaluation popup (which causes threading issues between Swing and SWT) because we had encountered the exact same issue when we were evaluating JGo. The issue was solved once we purchased the full version of JGo. (the JGo developers tested some sample code for us though which confirmed that it was the popup)

I can't guarantee 100% that these issues will be resolved when you purchase the full version of JIDE since we're still currently evaluating it ourselves. Perhaps someone is able to test some sample code for you with a licenced version?

[JIDE Support]

Hi manser, I think bogdoll purchased a license already. Thanks for trying to help though. We always appreciate it.

Is there any extra thing that i need to include while i run this example. I am using SWT Application to run

[JIDE Support]

There is a setting in the eclipse project to copy resource files to class output folder. One of the resource pattern we put in our example eclipse project is to include "*.txt.gz" as we used several such files for the demo data. Since you probably create an eclipse project yourself, so this setting is omitted.

[makebill]

Please ignore previous post. My issue is resolved.

[makebill]

Hi, Is it possible to achieve attached tabular format using Jide & swing.... If so is there any example available....

[JIDE Support]

Yes, very easy using the CellSpan, CellStyle feature to do it. You can find several examples in our examples folder.

[makebill]

thanks . Basically my application is SWT/Jface based and i am planning to use JIDE with swing only for this table purpose. Also would like to know if this support Data binding (specifically Jface databinding) and all values are populated frm database. Does it support add row and delete row by clicking add and delete button

[JIDE Support]

The JIDE Data Grids product provides feature related to the database. It can use JDBC ResultSet directly or to use Hibernate. It can even use the database or hibernate to do the sorting and filtering instead of sorting/filtering locally. However it doesn't support any modifications to the database (basically, CRUD) out of box, for which you will have to add your code to do it. I don't know much about the JFace DataBinding but I would expect it works similar to other bindings that depend on the property change listener etc. It is probably similar to our BeanTableModel which can take a list of objects (aka POJO) and use reflection to call its properties and populate the whole table.

[makebill]

yaa exactly... and we are using ibatis.
