Specific Q about extension schema [message #306008] Mon, 17 July 2006 22:23 Go to next message

I would like an element like this in my extension point definition:

<contentDescription shortDescription="foo">
Longer description, blah blah blah
</contentDescription>


That is, an element that has an attribute for a short string and that uses
its body text for a longer (possibly formatted, in the future) string.

Is this possible in the Eclipse extension point schema? I can't figure out
how to get the schema editor to represent this.

Thanks!

Adding jdt to the newsgroups, in hopes of finding someone who knows!

To summarize:

How do I make an extension point schema element that has both an attribute
and body content? Is it possible?

Hi Walter,

All I know is that elements with body content are possible. I don't know
whether a combination of attributes and body content is possible, though.

(AFAIK, even if the schema and manifest editors do not support it, I
believe you will still be able to create such an extension point,
contribute to it and read it in in your code.)
