Question

I’d like to change at runtime the name of my eclipse RCP application, so to include the name of the project the user is working on.

This seems a pretty simple question, but I was only able to find a way to set the name statically (in the article “branding your application”).

Answer 1

In your ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor get hold of the IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer and set the title there. e.g:

public void preWindowOpen() 
{
    IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer = getWindowConfigurer();        
    configurer.setTitle("Custom Name..."); 
}
