Eclipse e4 RCP minimize/maximize missing on view parts?

Question

When creating an RCP application using Eclipse Juno (e4 platform), view parts do not provide the minimize/maximize toolbar actions.

What is also missing is the double-click action on the view part header which would minimize and maximize the view accordingly.

I also noticed, that the header bar of a view part is slighly lower than it was in previous releases, such that an action button doesn't really fit in it (drawn over the border of the header - see image).

I just created the example RCP app providing a simple intro page.

It seems to me like a bug on e4 or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

I faced the same issues. I followed the options on this link for migrating from 3.x to 4.x and it worked for me. http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2012/06/18/migrating-from-eclipse-3-x-to-eclipse-4-e4/ Basically added the following as dependency to my plugin and run configuration.

• org.eclipse.equinox.ds
• org.eclipse.equinox.event
• org.eclipse.equinox.util
• org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt
