Is it possible to register a plain-old EditingDomain as an extension point, in the same this can be done with a TransactionalEditingFactory?

Thanks

Charles

Charles,

No. I'm not sure what this would imply. Maybe Christian will
understand the question better...

Thanks, I'll see if I can track him down

You might be able to help anyway, although this is probably more of a platform issue. I am trying to have my views and actions get access to my editing domain, but when I expand the view to full size, I lose the editor (which is where the IEditingDomainProvider is implemented)

Really I want my editingDomain available to the entire application at any time, so I am trying to find a way to achieve this

At first I tried:

private MjtEditor getEditor() {
IWorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage page = workbenchWindow.getActivePage();
MjtEditor mjtEditor = (MjtEditor) page.getActiveEditor();

if (mjtEditor == null)
mjtEditor = (MjtEditor) MjtEditorAdvisor.findEditorPart(
workbench, getModelURI());

page.activate(mjtEditor);

return mjtEditor;
}

but then the editor dissapears, the editor here becomes null

Ideas?

Charles,

Maybe the views and actions can get their editing domain from the
input/selection passed to them? You'd use
AdapterFactoryEditingDomain.getEditingDomainFor...

Hi, Charles, Ed,

The main reason why EMF Transaction component took the
extension-point/registry approach to sharing editing domains amongst
multiple applications was to enable declarative associations of these
editing domains with various other facilities.

One example of this is the org.eclipse.emf.transaction.listeners extension
point. There are other uses of the registry that were intended way back
when but have never materialized.

Cheers,

Christian

Thanks

I really would like to be able to get at the editing Domain before it is selected, or to set it as the default selection, or something liek this

I will probably just punt and keep a global reference somewhere

;)
