Custom editor and toolbar items [message #894393]

Hi,
I have a custom editor that overrides some of the methods from the Graphiti DiagramEditor. I have done something similar to this thread. On opening the editor, the items (Layout, Zoom, Grid...) don't show up in the main toolbar. Am I missing something here? Is there anything in addition that needs to be done for the toolbar items to show?

Fixed. It was because I had not provided the "contribtorClass" in the editor extension.

Probably you will need to add
org.eclipse.graphiti.ui.editor.DiagramEditorActionBarContributor (or a
subclass of it) as the contributor class to your editor's plugin.xml entry.
This class adds the stuff to the menu and toolbar.

Is it planned to use the menu contributions extension point for this?

I haven't tried that, but it should already be possible by adding stuff to
the editor's id using that extension point.

I was thinking of migrating the contributed actions (which are pre 3.3) to use the menu contributions extension point... That would allow custom editors to not worry about setting the contributorClass...

Ah, I see...

Sounds like a good idea. Would you please file an enhancement bugzilla for
this?

Thanks,
Michael
