For those of you who want to run the Eclipse IDE on top of JavaFX you should clone the following repos as well and use the '''efx_tmp''' branch:

* https://github.com/swt-javafx/eclipse.platform.ui/
 +
* https://github.com/swt-javafx/eclipse.platform.text/
 +
* https://github.com/swt-javafx/eclipse.jdt.ui/

You need to import the following projects:

* org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench

* org.eclipse.jdt.ui

You can launch 2 different inner Eclipse:
 +
* org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench - swt - git.launch: which uses the native SWT-Port
 +
* org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench-git.launch: which uses SWT on JavaFX
 +
 +
You have to launch the "''org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench - swt - git.launch''" and switch to the <strong>Java Perspective</strong> before you start the "''org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench-git.launch''" for the first time.

How to contribute


Contributions

Generally speaking any contribution is welcome. An easy way to contribute is to port one of the SWT-Snippets http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/ to the at.bestsolution.efxclipse.runtime.examples.swt-bundle. The code currently holds a lot of calls to Util.logNotImplemented() track them down and implement them so that they do the same as they do in the other SWT ports
