Eclipse JFace FieldEditor日期？

Question

I'm building a preferences editor for my Eclipse RCP application using the existing IWorkbenchPreferencePage framework (see http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Field-Editors/field_editors.html for a good tutorial).

It has editors for a number of different types of data:

• BooleanFieldEditor
• IntegerFieldEditor
• StringFieldEditor
• RadioGroupFieldEditor
• ColorFieldEditor
• FontFieldEditor
• DirectoryFieldEditor
• FileFieldEditor
• PathEditor

However, one thing which doesn't seem to exist is a nice DateFieldEditor (ideally with a button to bring up a calendar to allow choosing of a particular date).

So my question is, does such a org.eclipse.jface.preference.FieldEditor subclass exist, either in standard JFace or in a 3rd party plugin or project?

Alternatively, even a SWT calendar component would be useful, because I could build the rest on top of that pretty easily.

Answer 1

JFace doesn't have such a FieldEditor . But there is an official feature request for a DateFieldEditor that even has a basic implementation attached to it. At the very least you could use that as a template to create your own field editor, if it doesn't work for you as is.
