| generated content outline view [message #420410] |

Hi
for an eclipse plugin (gengetopt_eclipse) that provides an editor for
gengetopt input files, I was trying to add some parsing functionalities
and also the outline view; since this relies on a model (which should be
built by the parser starting from the AST generated by the parser) I was
thinking of using emf functionalities; first of all, do you think it's a
feasible use/design? Does it make sense?
Moreover, I noticed that the outline viewer in the editor generated by
EMF is actually hardcoded in the generated editor so it cannot be
re-used outside the editor (I only need the content outline view
generated by emf, and not the editor generated by emf). I know that
it's quite easy to extract (copy/paste) and adapt the generated content
outline from the generated editor, but wouldn't it be better to have emf
generate the outline independently from the editor?
thanks in advance
cheers
Lorenzo

Yes, it's easy to hook into ResourceImpl.doSave/doLoad in order to
support loading and saving something other than XML.

There are lots of things in the editor that are assumed will only be
used there...

There isn't actually anything model specific in the generated editor, so
it's even possible to have a generic outline. In fact, almost nothing
in the editor is model-specific, so there's already a bugzilla asking
for just a generic editor. You might want to add your suggestion there:
