Eclipse RCP - Stacking a view with the editor area?


Is it possible, when developing an Eclipse RCP Application, to stack a view with the editor area? Like this?

Stack View Sample Illustration

I have multiple lists/tables and I want to create a kind of preview composite. When an Item on a list is selected by single mouse click, I want my preview composite to show the data of the item.

If the user double clicks an item, I want to open an editor in the stack behind the preview composite.

Is there anyway to achieve this?

Thanks.


Solution

  • No, there isn't. You could open a viewpart on the editor area but then, you will not be able to have editors and views as tabs
