Hi guys,

I have to send some command line arguments to my ECP e4 application in order to make some ECP projects visible in the tree view. Can you please tell me what should I read for this? I know that for transmitting the args there is a Platform.getApplicationArgs() but where do I read these args? Do I need to create a new Application class?

Thank you very much,
S.

Hi,

you will need to hook somehow into the application lifecycle. Maybe a
lifecycle manager or an addon.

Best regards

Hi,

But it is possible that I create the lifecycle hook inside a new plug-in project?
I don't want to create a new e4 application, your default ecp.application.e4 is enough for me.
I have created a new plugin project, added the below method and put the corresponding dependencies in the MANIFEST.MF.

package com.simona.e4;
import org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.lifecycle.PostContextCreate;

public class MyManager{
@PostContextCreate
void postContextCreate(IEclipseContext workbenchContext) {
System.out.println("I got here!");
}
}
In the plugin.xml of this plugin I wrote this:
<extension
id="product"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
<product
application="org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.E4Application"
name="my">
<property
name="lifeCycleURI"
value="bundleclass://com.simona.e4/com.simona.e4.MyManager">
</property>
</product>
</extension>

And my.product has the following content:
<product name="my" uid="myproduct" id="org.eclipse.emf.ecp.application.e4.product" application="org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.E4Application" ....>

The my.product is located inside the plugin.
Unfortunately this method is never called.
What am I missing?

Thank you,
S.

The tutorial describes how to add a lifecycle manager to an existing
application.

It is hard to tell what is wrong without looking at your code in detail.
In any case, your question would be probably better placed in the
Eclipse 4 newsgroup, as it is unrelated to EMF.

Best regards
