In Eclipse 3.x you can register a Wizard via the org.eclipse.ui.newWizards extension point.

This would include your Wizard in the standard dialog for new projects which can be used via the command org.eclipse.ui.newWizard.

This is also possible for the export and import Wizard commands.

This tutorial assumes what you have basic understanding of development for the Eclipse platform. Please see Eclipse 4 RCP Tutorial or Eclipse Plug-in Tutorial if you need any basic information.

The following gives an example of a wizard with two pages.

Create the following MyPageOne and MyPageTwo classes.

package de.vogella.rcp.intro.wizards.wizard;

import org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardPage;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.KeyEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.KeyListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridData;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Label;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

public class MyPageOne extends WizardPage {
  private Text text1;
  private Composite container;

  public MyPageOne() {
    super("First Page");
    setTitle("First Page");
    setDescription("Fake Wizard. First page");
  }

  @Override
  public void createControl(Composite parent) {
    container = new Composite(parent, SWT.NULL);
    GridLayout layout = new GridLayout();
    container.setLayout(layout);
    layout.numColumns = 2;
    Label label1 = new Label(container, SWT.NULL);
    label1.setText("Put here a value");

    text1 = new Text(container, SWT.BORDER | SWT.SINGLE);
    text1.setText("");
    text1.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {

      @Override
      public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
      }

      @Override
      public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
        if (!text1.getText().isEmpty()) {
          setPageComplete(true);

        }
      }

    });
    GridData gd = new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL);
    text1.setLayoutData(gd);
    // Required to avoid an error in the system
    setControl(container);
    setPageComplete(false);

  }

  public String getText1() {
    return text1.getText();
  }
}
 

package de.vogella.rcp.intro.wizards.wizard;

import org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardPage;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.KeyEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.KeyListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridData;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Label;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

public class MyPageTwo extends WizardPage {
  private Text text1;
  private Composite container;

  public MyPageTwo() {
    super("Second Page");
    setTitle("Second Page");
    setDescription("Now this is the second page");
    setControl(text1);
  }

  @Override
  public void createControl(Composite parent) {
    container = new Composite(parent, SWT.NULL);
    GridLayout layout = new GridLayout();
    container.setLayout(layout);
    layout.numColumns = 2;
    Label label1 = new Label(container, SWT.NULL);
    label1.setText("Say hello to Fred");

    text1 = new Text(container, SWT.BORDER | SWT.SINGLE);
    text1.setText("");
    text1.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {

      @Override
      public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

      }

      @Override
      public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
        if (!text1.getText().isEmpty()) {
          setPageComplete(true);
        }
      }

    });
    GridData gd = new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL);
    text1.setLayoutData(gd);
    Label labelCheck = new Label(container, SWT.NONE);
    labelCheck.setText("This is a check");
    Button check = new Button(container, SWT.CHECK);
    check.setSelection(true);
    // Required to avoid an error in the system
    setControl(container);
    setPageComplete(false);
  }

  public String getText1() {
    return text1.getText();
  }
}
 

Create the following class called MyWizard.

package de.vogella.rcp.intro.wizards.wizard;

import org.eclipse.jface.wizard.Wizard;


public class MyWizard extends Wizard {

  protected MyPageOne one;
  protected MyPageTwo two;

  public MyWizard() {
    super();
    setNeedsProgressMonitor(true);
  }

  @Override
  public void addPages() {
    one = new MyPageOne();
    two = new MyPageTwo();
    addPage(one);
    addPage(two);
  }

  @Override
  public boolean performFinish() {
    // Print the result to the console
    System.out.println(one.getText1());
    System.out.println(two.getText1());

    return true;
  }
}
 

To show the wizard you could for example add a Button to your part and call the Wizard via a SelectionListener on the Button.

Button button = new Button(parent, SWT.PUSH);
button.setText("Open Wizard");
button.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
  @Override
  public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
    WizardDialog wizardDialog = new WizardDialog(parent.getShell(),
      new MyWizard());
    if (wizardDialog.open() == Window.OK) {
      System.out.println("Ok pressed");
    } else {
      System.out.println("Cancel pressed");
       }
  }
});
