Eclipse 3.2RC2 & ViewPart

[mikeai]

Well SWT Designer doesn't work with Eclipse 3.2RC2. I got ParseException when tried to switch to design mode.

Parse failed:
Could not create representation of dialog.

Well SWT Designer doesn't work with Eclipse 3.2RC2. I got ParseException when tried to switch to design mode.

Is your ViewPart contained in a plugin or RCP Project?

What vesion of Designer are you using? Give the latest v4.3.1 build a try.

If that doesn't help, send us a test case.

My test case is simple. I've made RCP application with view from Eclipse RCP template, and then tried to see view in designer window. Eclipse is 3.2RC2, and Designer 4.3.1 from 2nd May.

My test case is simple. I've made RCP application with view from Eclipse RCP template, and then tried to see view in designer window. Eclipse is 3.2RC2, and Designer 4.3.1 from 2nd May.

I tried this as well (using the RCP Mail template) and it worked fine on my end. I also tried using our Designer's ViewPart wizard and it also worked fine.

Try this again using the latest v4.3.1 build.

If that does not help, try the suggestions in this FAQ entry in case it is an installation or configuration issue.
