| Using Common Navigator Framework for EMF objects browsing [message #329277] |

I just started to move my EMF Object Browser to CNF, basing on Michael
Elder's presentation and articles. I've added filter to add only projects
of our nature and all model structure as EObject entries. It looks (and
works) fine, but I did not find answers for some questions:
1. How can I add "Workspace" entry as a parent for "Project" entries?
2. Can (and how) I use EObject "Application" entry instead of IProject
resource
entry or, backwards, I have to browse only IResource entries?
3. If it should be IResource entries and IProject entry has to be the
"base" entry, how can I remove all "obsolete" popup menu actions (for
example - use my "Delete" and "Rename" instead of standard, remove Run,
Debug and PDE Tools action groups and so on)?
4. How can I connect my EObject entries to ClearCase and add all proper
actions?
Thanks in advance,
Yury

Hi Yury,
I answer your questions below, you also might want to look at the
current 3.4RC4 build, there is some new documentation about the CNF (in
the Platform Plugin Developers Guide) what might help you to better
understand the principals.

I'm not sure what you intend by this. The workspace resource
(IWorkspace) is in fact the root of the tree for the CN when it is used
with resources. Can you explain further what you are interested in?

As far as which object is actually in the CommonViewer, if you are using
resources it should be the IProject. However, you can make a content
provider (ITreeContentProvider) that looks up the corresponding EObject
application entry and does what you want with that.

In your viewer action binding you are probably including all of the
actions from org.eclipse.ui.resources. You can be more selective about
which of these actions you include and if you want your own, replace
when with your own implementation. Look at the code in the
org.eclipse.ui.navigator resources plugin for how these are implemented.

This is an issue for the Team support. I'm not that familiar with the
details of how that works (you should be able to just get the Team
actions from the CN by using the standard resource actions described
above) -- how the Team support is hooked to ClearCase I don't know. I
suggest you look at the Team support documentation.
