Decorate a class shortcut [message #471189]

Hi,

I would like to add some options for class shortcuts on ClassD.

First, I would like to had a popupMenu Action for navigating to the
owning package of the shortcut if it exist.
I tought of a simple popupMenu extension with an ActionFilter to
determine whether the editPart is a shortcut. But I'm not so sure about
how to open the diagram corresponding to the package. Any idea?

Second, I would like to add a decoration to a shortcut depending a
parameter that would be set by the user.A kind of "Mark as navigable"
action. The best would be to add a little something (text or icon) to
mark the selected shortcut. From where should I start to make this,
whether in the editPart class or can I make this from an external
plug-ins for leaving UML2Tools code clean.

Thanks for your help
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

1) One may initialize as much diagrams from model file as he/she wants,
therefore there may be several 'contaning' diagrams for the element .
Shortcut element has a domain model Id data only. I don't see any
possibility to implement navigation to 'containing' diagram. Good news is
that you can implement your own "Create shortcut action". Have a look at
UMLCreateShortcutAction and UMLCreateShortcutDecorationsCommand. The last
one (UMLCreateShortcutDecorationsCommand) creates annotation that contains
all information about the 'source' element. You can add some additional
information in the annotation and then implement navigation.

2) Shortcut signs are painted with UMLShortcutsDecoratorProvider. You could
write your own DecoratorProvider and use existing one as a template. Do not
forget to register it in plugin.xml =)

Good luck,
Tatiana.

Hi Tatiana,

thanks for the good answers, it works great.
In addition, I have created a dialog to select the diagram to link to.
To do so I have modified the UMLElementChooserDialog to obtain a diagram
element URI. It is OK but I need to ameliorate the LabelProvider.
Furthermore is there a simple way to filter the nodes to have only
diagram elements visible within umlclass_diagram files ?

By the way, the original UMLShortcutDecoratorProvider doesn't appear to
be declared in UML2Tools RC3fix, the icon isn't visible on class diagrams.
Seems like a little bug.

Thanks
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

You've got diagram URI. That's great! Now you can get
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.notation.Diagram:

TransactionalEditingDomain editingDomain =
GMFEditingDomainFactory.INSTANCE.createEditingDomain();
Resource diagramResource =
editingDomain.getResourceSet().getResource(diagramURI, true);
Diagram diagram = diagramResource.getContents().get(0);

Then take diagram's children and views' children by getChildren().
UMLNavigatorLabelProvider review may inspire you with LabelProvider.

You are absolutely right, shortcut mark doesn't appear on diagram. There is
bugzilla #189608 "Add shortcut mark". I already put a patch, it should
appear in the release build.

Best regards,
Tatiana.
