I’m looking (unsuccessfully) for the controller/widget that gives the Eclipse IDE the ability to rearrange panes within the workspace. Very powerful! For instance, you can

  • combine panes into tabs and separate them again
  • place panes on the top, bottom, left, right or center.
  • place panes under, over, within the left, and within the right of current panes
  • pull panes into their on top-level window or re-integrate them into the main window
  • double click a pane to take over the entire workspace or snap it back to its original position
  • minimize a pane to a side bar
  • etc!

Any idea how this is done and if I can also use the widget to create a workspace?

    There is no single widget, which does it all. There is a myriad of classes, which combined accomplished what is known as the Workbench. That’s said, it would be difficult to reuse the functionality without starting up full-blown Workbench.

    Here are some hints where to start looking:

    The problem is that almost everything has connection back to Workbench and WorkbenchWindow classes, which make it difficult to use them without bringing the whole RCP.
