Implementing own viewer for EMF Compare [message #1746666] Wed, 02 November 2016 16:23 Go to next message

Hi,

Given the answers in the following forum topics:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1080651/
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1079372/

it looks like there is no easy way to extend/configure the EMFCompareStructureMergeViewer from the org.eclipse.emf.compare.ide.ui plugin, to remove buttons from the toolbar, etc.

Instead of trying to deconstruct EMFCompareStructureMergeViewer to create our own viewer, we want to remove the dependency on the org.eclipse.emf.compare.ide.ui plugin in our RCP application and implement our own structure and content viewer.

Are there any guidelines or minimal implementation already for this or is the the org.eclipse.emf.compare.ide.ui plugin the best example to use...?

Many thanks,
Conor

More specifically about the above:

If we have a Comparison object containing the result of the comparison between our two model objects, and we want to display this through the eclipse Compare UI (without relying on org.eclipse.emf.compare.ide.ui and EMFCompareStructureMergeViewer.)

The simplest entry point (without contributing to org.eclipse.compare.structure/contentMergeViewers) - is to extend org.eclipse.compare.CompareEditorInput and override createContents() to create a viewer.

From here though it looks like a lot of the implementation for what we could use to display our own viewer resides in the ide plugin, rather than in the rcp plugin?
For example, the implementations of IEMFCompareConfiguration, ContentMergeViewer, etc, are in the ide plugin.

Is there any more info on using the emf compare rcp plugins to put together our own viewers?

Hi Conor,

The decoupling we have done between ide and rcp is not "final" and we might very well be able to pull some things out and into the rcp plugin if you think it is possible. The main issue here is that we do not have an rcp use case for the emf compare structure and content viewers yet (iirc, the core content and structure viewers from the platform compare plugin have a hard dependancy on ide.ui).

If you need things in the rcp plugin, do not hesitate to try and pull them out to see if it is at all doable, then push this as a gerrit review for us to include. We'll gladly review any change request and help with finalizing it if necessary. There'll likely be a need to preserve the "current" APIs but that can probably be done without too much trouble.
