How to add a new view with a fragment [message #1005156] Thu, 24 January 2013 10:08 Go to next message
Eclipse User
I cannot find a tutorial on how to add a new view with a fragment. Is it
right to select org.eclipse.e4.legacy.ide.application as Element Id for
the fragment and children as feature name? What to do next? I get an
exception if I then just want to add a Part ass a child for this fragment.

best regards,
Gilbert

What do you want to say with that quote?

Sorry, problems with my mailing program.

What I wanted to say was that in my RCP application I added a part stack
and took the id of this part stack as element id of the fragment in my
contribution fragment. There I defined a part and that worked well.
I think you have to define a container where to put parts in.

Greets,

Jan

Ok, it didn't work. I get the exception that a PartStack cannot be added
to a MWindow. In my fragment I used the feature "children" of the
application and added a PartStack and a Part into it. No success
Other ideas?

best regards,
Gilbert

Try this in application.e4xmi:
- add Window (Trimmed Window)
- under Controls add PartSashContainer with any id (i.e.
de.test.partsashcontainer)
- in the fragment e4xmi of your contribution plugin add a model fragment
with element id of the partsashcontainer (i.e.
de.test.partsashcontainer) and the featurename 'children'
- there add a part

That's all. I set up an example and it worked.

Well, I don't have an application.e4xmi because I don't have an RCP
application but want to extend the normal application model from the
Eclipse IDE. Isn't this possible?

The "children" feature of a window is a structured graph (a tree) of items to be rendered. You can't just add an MPartStack and expect it to be rendered correctly. Install the Application Model Editor from the Eclipse Marketplace (oops, I never updated it for 4.2.1) and use the live editor to examine an existing window.

Extending the model within Eclipse RCP is not for the faint of heart primarily because adding a view or editor requires some special setup to be properly rendered by the compatibility layer.

Brian.
