New Automated Build

ECF now has an automated build and server setup to run automated builds. It will be going active sometime within the next
week (5.11.2007), and we will be doing daily, and weekly integration builds. Thanks particularly to Pete Mackie and
Ted Kubaska for making this possible, and getting the build environment together.

Examples of Extending MultiRosterView Context Menus
|
The ECF MultiRosterView can now be easily extended with additional functionality.
To do this, all that is necessary is to implement the new Platform UI extension point:
org.eclipse.ui.menus.menuContribution. Here's an example that adds an URL
sharing capability to the MultiRosterView context menu, when a roster entry is
selected. The following is from the org.eclipse.ecf.presence.collab.ui plugin.
First, the extension declaration:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ecf.presence.ui.MultiRosterView?before=additions">
<dynamic
class="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.collab.ui.URLShareRosterEntryContributionItem"
id="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.collab.ui.dynamic2">
</dynamic>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
With this declaration, the following code will be invoked when the user clicks the
right menu button on a roster entry (from URLShareRosterEntryContributionItem):
protected IAction[] makeActions() {
// check for Roster entry
final IRosterEntry entry = getSelectedRosterEntry();
IContainer c = getContainerForRosterEntry(entry);
// If roster entry is selected and it has a container
if (entry != null && c != null) {
final IChannelContainerAdapter channelAdapter = (IChannelContainerAdapter) c
.getAdapter(IChannelContainerAdapter.class);
// If the container has channel container adapter and is online/available
if (channelAdapter != null && isAvailable(entry)) {
URLShare tmp = URLShareRosterContributionItem.getURLShare(c
.getID());
// If there is an URL share associated with this container
if (tmp != null) {
final URLShare urlshare = tmp;
// Create action for sending
IAction action = new Action() {
public void run() {
// Actually send URL to selected user
urlshare.sendURL(entry.getRoster().getUser().getName(),entry.getUser().getID());
}
};
action
.setText(Messages.URLShareRosterEntryContributionItem_SEND_URL_MENU_TEXT);
action.setImageDescriptor(Activator.imageDescriptorFromPlugin(
Activator.PLUGIN_ID, Messages.URLShareRosterContributionItem_BROWSER_ICON));
// Return action for sending
return new IAction[] { action };
}
}
}
// Else return null...meaning we have no menu contribution to make
return null;
}
