Custom editor embedded in an html file [message #206417]

Hi.
I've been looking for a while to extend the wst html editor to handle my
script language in very much the same way that the html/javascript editor
works. For instance when I'm writing:
<script type="text/javascript">
...
</script>

I guess that triggers a different partition type in the html document
which is associated with a different (in this case a javascript) editor to
handle that partition. I have the editor I want to use, but I just can't
get it to trigger correct in my html files.

So is it possible to define a new partition type to the html editor (is it
even the html editor i should touch?) and associate it with a new (or
existing) editor?

I rather not get into the source for this kind of operation, some xml def.
somewhere (or even in the graphical configuration) should be able to fix
this but all help is appreciated.

Thanks.
Andreas

The partition type goes through the source viewer configuration,
which in the HTML editor's case will load support for scripting
languages from defined extensions. That they're implemented by
another editor is just the details. For JavaScript, you can examine
the extensions to org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration in
org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.ui/plugin.xml that are handling the
"default" and JavaScript languages. For other languages/types, the
partition type used will be computed dynamically based on the
attribute value, org.eclipse.wst.html.SCRIPT.language.VALUE from the
language attribute's value or org.eclipse.wst.html.SCRIPT.type.VALUE
from the type attribute's value if it is present. In theory any
client-side scripting language support can be plugged in this way.

That said, this support has to be coded specifically to work with
scripting within a DOM model. The script source is not treated
specially otherwise.

Hi Nitin and thanks for the reply.
I think I'm missing something (like the wtp) cause I can't find the
archives/plugins/extensions you're talking about. Though I'm having
problems downloading it from the update manager, for the last two days it
complains about the site is down (http 503), I'll probobly work it out
somehow.

My target environment is Eclipse 3.2 (no possibility to upgrade to 3.3).
What do I need to be able to accomplish this task (BOM)? Do I need the
source/sdk for wtp do you have any good pointers to documentation how to
setup the environment and even greater explains eclipse's and wtp's
editing framework? I really need to get the basics sorted before I'll
solve this task so any pointers for that as well would be appreciated.
I'll continue digging into this thing in the meantime.

Again, thanks.
Andreas
