[Closed] Tutorial: Creating custom setuptask? [message #1722926]

Hello everybody,

I intend on creating my own setuptask. At the moment I try to follow the structure of the Git Task (

org.eclipse.oomph.setup.git

). I have an ECore model and generated my tasks. But it all feels like flying blind since I absolutly have no idea what purpose different structures serve.

Is there some kind of tutorial on how a custom setup task can made and integrate into oomph?

Thanks in advance Confused

Steffen,

If you install org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui.ide.feature.group, there is a
wizard, File -> New -> Project -> Oomph -> Setup Task Extension.
Unfortunately course it's not nicely documented either... That's all
there is...

Thank you for your response. The Wizard in eclipse actually took most of my (strange) errors and warnings from my code.

So I (think that I) created my own SetuTask now. How can I with the Eclipse installer or the Setup-Development in Eclipse (i.e How can I tell Eclipse that I would like to add this new Task to a setup file)?

Do I export them via JAR-File or as "Deployable plug-ins and fragements"?

Is there a folder where I can drop the jar files?

Thanks in advance Smile

Steffen,

If you launch an IDE with your task extension installed, e.g., a debug
launch from your development environment, your derived task should be in
the list of tasks you can create. Of course to deploy your extension
and have other people be able to use it, you need to consider a number
of other issues. For example, you'll need to ensure that your Ecore
model is published somewhere accessible on the web (i.e., that it has a
public schemaLocation) so that dynamic instances can be properly
created. The Ecore model itself should be annotated so that the
installer will know the location of the p2 update site where the
implementation of the model can be installed, and the installable unit
ID that needs to be installed for that purpose; this is the reason for
all those values in the wizard. Note that if your Ecore model were
registered in the Index, i.e., in "org.eclipse.setup", your extended
task would be listed in the "Additional Tasks" submenu.

Thank you very much,

I've got a (hopefully) last question. How can I set the attributes of my task ? My task has two attributes that need to be set but I haven't found the right way to do so yet. I tried it with mimiking other projects and used annotations. But neither InducedChoice nor Enablement worked for me. Eclipse keeps telling me that my setup isn't valid

I included a screen of my model and my setup.

Thanks in advance

Steffen,

Of course if you double click on your task, the properties view opens
and here you can set the values. Are you trying to do something beyond
that?

Ed,

I tried double clicking but all properties I can set there is an ID and a Description. Even if I open the 'advanced' properties, those I defined don't show up

Maybe I simply overlooked something but I cannot see what it is.

Thank you for your patience with me Smile

Steffen,

In this context, is your generated model installed? I suppose so,
because your schemaLocation value looks like a dummy value. In the
generated DauzItemProvider, is there an addResourcePropertyDescriptor
method? If not, your GenFeatures for these features probably probably
specifies None for Property Type.

Ed,

Thank you. That did it. Maybe the problem was also that I only executed the "generate model code" and forgot the "generate edit code"

Thanks for your help Smile
