Hi, I defines a number of Ruler Columns in my application via plugin.xml.
Generally they are all work exactly the same. The difference is only in
dynamic String parameter, that determines where to take a number, shown in
the ruler. Is there a way to define the parameter via plugin.xml and use
the same class for all the rulers? If no, is there any other way to pass
parameter to ruler column? Thanks

The easiest is to put all logic into an abstract ruler class and then
use concrete rulers that set the parameter(s). Then use the concrete
classes in the plugin.xml.

Thanks for quick reply. I search a way to give to users to configure
dynamically kind of rulers that are displayed. They may edit xml file, but
they will not write java code, compile and release. All the rulers work
the same, there is only one String parameter defining the difference. Also
list of possible parameters is defined dynamically. Any trick to make such
a configuration working? Thanks, Stella
