Welcome to Eclipse RCP MP3 Manager

This is an Eclipse RCP demo application to showcase many of the Eclipse RCP features. Intentionally I did not focus on business logic, that's why I chose a very simple application, a little MP3 Manager. Another purpose of this application is that new Eclipse RCP developers can take a look at some example implementation of common use cases. I hope to improve the code base over time so that many best Eclipse practices are used. Please support me and file bugs :). Here is a (probably incomplete) list of features:

• Product Branding & Feature Branding
  • Custom Splash Screen
  • Blue and Orange colored demo brandings
  • Images/Icons and About Dialog
• Internationalization English/German
• New Look & Feel using the Presentation API
  • Loose coupling of views and editors
• Tree views, table views and a virtual tree view
  • Regular Label & Content Provider
  • Using an adapter factory
• Multi-page editor
• Use of Commands & Handlers
• Local help system using the Jetty stack
• Customized update functionality
• A Wizard to rename album names
• Own Extension Points
• Using NSIS as native installer
• Editing of ID3 tags and playing MP3 files (but this is pure demo using 3rd party libraries :)
• Also an ID3 tag editor with Eclipse data binding
• A cheat sheet
• Property view support
• A virtual table view (mockup for 10000 songs)
• Dynamic language change (English and German)
• New: Using p2 for self updating

Work in progress:

• Eclipse 3.4 internationalization
  • Current babel integration work pretty well, but some preference pages still missing
• Using PluginBuilder for headless build
  • see project com.siemens.ct.mp3m.build, does not work with current 3.4 version yet
• JNLP & Java Web Start

Enjoy!
