Participtiong in Java search queries [message #334675]

Hello,

I want my Eclipse plugin to participate in Java search quires. I have
found that I should do two things for this:

1). Declare an extension in plugin.xml file like an example there:
http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. jdt.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_jdt_ui_qu eryParticipants.html

2). Implement IQueryParticipant with name that corresponds to the one
declared in the plugin.xml file.

The implemented methods of IQueryParticipant interface are stubs that only
show the debug messages.

The project compiled and launched without a mistakes, plugin successfully
starts, but when I try to search something (with all possible ways), my
plugin doesn't show any activity.

Can anybody help me? What have I failed to take into an account?

Thanks a lot.

This should work. Are you sure that the project's nature matches the one
you specified?

It really doesn't work. Maybe there is really another project nature.
Then, how can I check the project nature? Or maybe I should run Search in
some special way? I use standard Java Search...

Via code or via UI?

Via UI.

OK, it seems to me that I have not described the problem sufficiently. Now
I'll try to do it in full.

Suppose that my plugin is located in a project named org.example. I want
my plugin to search something with some special way in a standard Java
projects. For this I make the following:

1). Declare an extension in plugin.xml file. This extension looks like
following:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.queryParticipants">
<queryParticipant
name="Example Query Participant"
nature="org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature"
class="org.example.ui.QueryParticipant"
id="org.example.ui.QueryParticipant">
</queryParticipant>
</extension>

2). Implement IQueryParticipant interface in a class
org.example.ui.QueryParticipant. Implemented methods of the interface and
the constructor are just the stubs that display only the debug messages.

3). Run the platform with my plugin, check that it has started
successfully.

4). Create the standard Java project via UI (File -> New -> Project ->
Java Project).

5). Select a Java project (or the Java file) in the Project Explorer, then
invoke Search via UI (Search -> Search) and try to search something with
all the possible ways. In this moment I expect my plugin to appear with
some activity, but my expectations fail.

Maybe, I can not specify a search extension for standard projects in such
a way? Maybe I can extend search only in user-defined project types?

Thanks a lot, Daniel, for your participating.

This looks OK. I suggest you start with -debug and also take a look at
the .log. In addition check that your participant is public and has a
0-arg constructor.

I looked into the .log, and I have found that the environment really tries
to start the participant, but fails with exception. It turned out, that
QueryParticipant is not able to show any info messages. Therefore, I am
starting to realize the search in a proper way.

Thank you very much for discussion.
