how to contribute to problems view [message #324284]

Hi, all:

I want to contribute an action to problems view, I take this,
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions/Problems_View_Exa mple
as a reference, but:
1. my action is always disabled
2. I can't find the OpenMarkerHandler handler because I'd like to "monkey
and see it", how to get the problem entry object. It's wired, I searched all
the source code.

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.

Nick

That was a proposed usecase to see if the new menu contributions in 3.3
could support the problems view. There is no supporting code.

However if you look at org.eclipse.ui.ide/plugin.xml there should be a
lot of examples in HEAD of adding commands/handlers/menu contributions
to the new problems view.

Also check out the help link listed below, it discusses commands,
handlers, and then placing references to the commands in menus and
toolbars (menu contributions)

Hi, Paul:

The link list is very useful, Thanks!

But, unfortunately my contributed handler can't access the current selected
marker because Problem view does not expose useful public accessors, such as
"getSelection()", it only supplies a "setSelection()" public method, hoho~~~

And I believe that there are other views that do not supply useful public
accessors, because that they haven't considered the new menu contribution
situation.

So, should I raise a enhancement bug?

Your handler should get the current selection from
HandlerUtil.getCurrentSelection(event). Does that not work?

AFAIK the problems view is not exposed in API at all ... but for most
views you can find its selection using
getSite().getSelectionProvider().getSelection()

I was wondering how to access the selection object (here is a marker
instance) in an applicationContext instance, and
HandlerUtil.getCurrentSelection(event) is exactly what I need.

yeap, I should have realized the common way, that is selection service.

Thanks Paul!
