Hi,
I currently extend ViewPart to create the view for my contents. I would
like to extend GraphicalEditor since GraphicalEditor provides useful
action for my app. I use eclipse 3.3
1. Is it possible to add the graphical editor within a View. When i
tried this, i could see the View available through the show view menu.
2. Is is possible to add a graphicaleditor without a extension. I just
need only one instance of this editor (as a view).
Thanks in advance.
Kathir.

Hi Anthony,
I looked at the source code and examples. Actually i am looking at a
different thing here.
I would like to use GraphicalEditor to create my View. But for this i
need to give an extension .shapes so every time there is a file opened
with this extension my GraphicalEditor opens.
I would just like to use the functionalities of the GraphicalEditor but
i want it to have it as a view inside my application.
If there is a specific package i need to look at the GEF source, please
do mention that !
BR,
Kathir.

This is what i have in my plugin.xml file. The com.mycat.MyEditor
extends GraphicalEditor and it throws ClasscastExcpetion. This used to
work for me in eclipse 3.0, now i am using 3.3. Is there any way to make
this work !

Hi kathir
I am not convinced this was ever possible. GraphicalEditor extends
EditorPart and the view extension point requires you extend ViewPart, hence
your ClassCastException. At the highest level, EditorPart and ViewPart have
not changed in principle since Eclipse 1.0, they are difference beasts and
not interchangeable.
Cheers...

Hi Anthony !
Thanks very much for the reply !
3.0 GraphicalEditor extends the EditorPart but the 3.2 GraphicalEditor
doesnt extend EditorPart it directly extends the java.lang.Object.
I am missing something very basic here !
I want to use all the benefits (like zooming and printing) of the GEF
GraphicalEditor but i want that as a view inside my rcp application.
When i use Editors extension to add the editor into the application. I
need to give an extension for the editor extension which will be invoked
everytime i create a file with the particular extension.
Is there a way to use the editor as i mentioned !
BR,
Kathir.

Its not correct, when i looked at the source code, 3.2 GraphicalEditor
still extends the EditorPart - ( Somehow API documentation shows
differently - Sorry for the wrong info.

Hi Kathir,
I checked the CVS version history and:
2.1 GraphicalEditor extends Object
3.0 GraphicalEditor extends EditorPart
3.2 GraphicalEditor extends EditorPart
No much I can offer other than the simple fact that the API in 3.x is what
it is.
You can always create a new class to put a graphical editor in a ViewPart.
Cheers...
