I want to extend the Visual editor in a particular way.
I have a suite of Swing visual classes, along with their own
customizers.
I want these customizers to have access to the plug-in code from
another plug-in of mine, but as they run in another VM
that does not include plug-ins in its classpath, this is problematic.
The constant restarting of the VM of the editor is also a problem, as I also
want my
customizers to have access to certain information, the link to which dies
every
time the VM restarts, and rebuilding this information is rather costly.
I would like to run the Visual Editor in the Eclipse VM, with its classpath
obtained from
the amalgamation of all suitably enabled projects in the workspace.
I see the problems this would cause in terms of hot code swapping if you
change the
beans that an actual visual representation is using, add new projects etc,
but I think that for my purposes it would be preferable, as I intend to
assume that
the beans from which screens are built to not change within a particular
edit session
by a user of these beans.
I don't suppose there is any way of achieving this kind of thing via
extension points etc.?
