Steps for creating an e4 application

In the last chapter we used a wizard to create an Eclipse e4 application . This chapter provides a checklist of the necessary steps to create a new e4 application. All these steps will be later executed in detail.

To create a new basic e4 based application you:

  • Create a new plugin project

  • Maintain the dependencies to the necessary e4 plugins

  • Create an Application model description in a file which is typically called "Application.e4xmi"

  • You create a product configuration which uses the pre-defined application "org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.E4Application".

  • In "plugin.xml" you point your application to the correct Application model description file, via the property "applicationXMI".
