How was this eclipse eclipse made?

Question

I'm looking for a plugin for Eclipse that will add a new context menu, and when clicked, a dialog box will appear, and users will be able to choose from a list of things to install. I would like my dialogue to have the same look and feel of the attached screen (from eclipse when editing a new plugin).

So my question is: any idea on how this interface was created? This is HTML, and if so, how can this be done? Or are these Swing user controls or something like this? I am new to Java, so I cannot ask the question correctly, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This multi-page editor contains elements created using Eclipse Forms based on SWT.

Answer 2

This editor is probably executed using MultiPageEditorPart , although I cannot find the exact class. (Update: Found a class , although I don't think this will help much ...)

To create such an editor yourself, you should start by creating a new plug-in project using a plug-in with a multi-page editor template. Perhaps this tutorial will help you get started.

Note that this will be an editor (placed in the center of the Eclipse desktop and used to edit some file), and neither a view (placed on the side, providing some additional functions), nor a dialog box. Instead, you may need to create a multi-page wizard containing one page for each tab. This will be more in line with the overall look of Eclipse. The above link also gives some tips.
