Eclipse RCP File Explorer

Question

Is there a good Eclipse RCP file explorer out there? I need a platform independent file explorer which should be extensible through plugins. I only found File Arranger , wich seems to be outdated.

I just ask cause i want to develop such an explorer, but it wouldn't make sense if there is already a solution out there.

Answer 1

I did not find any recent File Explorer.

The Navigator view based on the old ResourceNavigator ( bug 268083 ) is now based on the CNF (Common Navigator Framework) , which can be adatped for all sort of trees.

Other plugins exist to add explorer-like feature ( pathtools :
_{(source: googlecode.com )}
), but none propose directly a file explorer.

Answer 2

I done something like a File Explorer in college.
Protip: use CNF with Apache VFS, and you can extend it to explore a FTP, a Zip or anything you want.
