Create an Eclipse ViewPart
JavaFX allows you to embed JavaFX scenes into SWT UIs using the FXCanvas class. The following tutorial will guide you through the creation of a JavaFX-enabled ViewPart.
- File > New > Project ...
- Select "Plug-in Project" and click the "Next" button.
- Enter a project name and click the "Next" button.
- Make sure that "This plug-in will make contributions to the UI" is checked and deselect the RCP creation. Click "Next".
- Select the "JavaFX Eclipse 3.x ViewPart" template and click "Next".
- Keep the default settings and click "Finish".
- The result of the wizard is a new OSGi bundle with your ViewPart class.
- Implement your view by adding some JavaFX code to your ViewPart class.
- Launch an "inner Eclipse" by bringing up the context menu on your project and select Run As > Eclipse Application
- In the running application, bring up Quick Access (Ctrl+3) and enter "My Fx View". Select the presented choice to open your view.
- A view with your JavaFX content will be shown at the bottom.
