A tutorial on adding search to an Eclipse RCP program

Question

Could some one point me to a tutorial on how to work with the Eclipse search plug-in with custom views in an Eclipse RCP program. I have tried searching google for one, but I have found to have the word "search" in your search phrase you might as well not have it there.

I have tried the phrase "Eclipse RCP search" "Eclipse RCP search tutorial" "Eclipse RCP search plug-in" and none of my results are about the search plug-in (maybe a suggested search phrase if one can not suggest a good tutorial)

Answer 1

Implementing your custom search is not that hard. The best is to look into other plugins to see how they implemented the search. To get you started I recommed the Task-Search from Mylyn - very easy to adopt.

Just donwload the sources from Mylyn and look at the bundle

org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.search
