Target Platform problem [message #308691]

Hi,

I have eclipse 3.1 and rational software modeler installed on my system.

The following plugin code works if I set my target platform to eclipse,
but gives me a compile error if the target platform is RSM.

public void run(IAction action) {
Shell shell = new Shell();
ViewPluginAction myact = (ViewPluginAction) action;

IStructuredSelection structuredSelection = (IStructuredSelection)
myact
.getSelection();

}
I checked and it seems the JDT version of RSM is 3.0.1, so I tried making
the plugin for eclsipe ver 3.0. but the code compiles only if the target
is eclipse.

The compilation error is

The method getSelection() is undefined for the type ViewPluginAction

Why should the plugin code change if the target is rational instead of
eclipse? Shouldn't they both be compatible?

Thanks Praveen.

It looks like the difference is your eclipse is 3.1 but RSM is 3.0.x based.

ViewPluginAction is an internal class, which means you can use it, but
it can change in any release. Which is what happened between 3.0.x and 3.1

Hi Paul,

Is there any other way I can get the selected element on a context menu
without using an internal class?

Thanks Praveen.

Every IObjectActionDelegate (all I*ActionDelegates) should have a
selectionChanged(*) method ... that will give you the current selection.
