Editor extensions [message #78833] Wed, 26 July 2006 07:25 Go to next message

Greetings!

I was just wondering how one can use org.eclipse.hyades.test.ui.forms.BaseFormEditor
(based on Eclipse forms) for an editor extension. Alternatively, how one
can make a forms-compliant editor that also implements org.eclipse.hyades.ui.editor.IEditorExtension.

I tried just subclassing BaseFormEditor, but ran into a classcast exception
when the framework tried to cast it into an IEditorExtension. Subclassing
BaseFormEditor and implementing IEditorExtension didn't work either, as the
getSelection() methods implemented by both were incompatible.

I'm guessing the BaseFormEditor class isn't in there just for fun. How do
I utilize it? I'm extending the org.eclipse.hyades.ui.editorExtensions extension
point - is there some other extension point that will happily accept a BaseFormEditor?

Thanks,
Henrik W Lund

Hello Paul,

Yes, I have. I reimplemented it, using TestLogViewer as a template for forms-compliance,
and BaseFormEditor for form content. It now looks exactly like BaseFormEditor,
but uses no deprecated classes or methods (100% forms-compliant).

I really like working with TPTP - it's both well documented and well supported.
I'll be using this list quite actively, I'm sure.
