Hi!
I want to know if it is possible to register "New Wizards"
programmatically or if one has to go through the extension point for
doing this?
The reason is that I would like to instantiate a bunch of parametrized
"New Wizards". The parameters for these are not known beforehand.
TIA,
Anders

Last I looked into it there was no API for it, so I did it like using the
code below.
I created the XML in a string (for the new wizards) and then fed it to
this method.
// Add XML as a contribution as if it were present in the plugin.xml
file
public static void addContribution(AppEditor editor, String
contribution)
{
ByteArrayInputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(contribution
.toString().getBytes());
IExtensionRegistry reg = Platform.getExtensionRegistry();
Object ut = ((ExtensionRegistry)reg).getTemporaryUserToken();
IContributor cont =
ContributorFactoryOSGi.createContributor(Platform
.getBundle(editor.getPluginId()));
if (false)
System.out.println(contribution);
if (!reg.addContribution(is, cont, false, null, null, ut))
Util.impossible("Contribution not added due to error");
//$NON-NLS-1$
}

Thanks! I was thinking along those lines as well, but I eventually made a
decision to make a "wrapper" wizard that encapsulated all the other "new
wizards" dynamically. That way they could be even more flexible in their
presentation to the end user - even though they would not appear
"natively" in the new wizard dialog...
I find it somewhat strange that there is so little support in general in
Eclipse for extending extension points programmatically (I could be wrong
but this is not the first time I encountered this type of problem).
Anyway, thanks for you input!
BR,
Anders
