Hi,
I'm trying to activate the javascript editor on a String containing
Javascript, and not a file. Hence, I've made an IEditorInput
implementation based on IStorageEditorInput (and not FileEditorInput)
and specify this in the call to openEditor.
However, I get a NullPointerException somewhere in layout-handling code
related to the vertical ruler. In the debugger I can see that the
annotation model is not set, which I think is why the vertical ruler is
incorrectly set up. By manually disabling the vertical ruler (in the
debugger) the editor actually works with my IStorageEditorInput. But I
cannot find a way to get the editor/source viewer correctly initialized
without this manual step, hence my solution is useless.
I've tried contributing an IDocumentProvider, which should give me
control of both the IDocument and IAnnotationModel that is used. But my
class is not used by the editor. Actually, it is instantiated and ends
up as a parentProvider in a delegation chain (as the implicit provider),
but in practice another IDocumentProvider is used instead (set as the
explicit one).
The only solution I've found is to use a temporary file and an ordinary
FileEditorInput, but this litters the file system and is clearly an
unsatisfactory solution.
Any suggestions?
Hallvard

I'm sorry it took so long to verify this myself and get you an
answer, but
org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.CompilationUnitD ocumentProvider#connect(Object)
should be handling IStorageEditorInputs already by creating a
special annotation model for them. My test class did supply path
and names ending with ".js", did yours? I've added it into an
org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.tests plug-in into our CVS with the hope
that it will help you track down the problem.

I downloaded the Javscript editor's source and tracked the problem to
the lack of a path name. After returning an IPath with a .js extension
from my IStorageInput implementation it works. It seems a bit strange to
have to generate an artificial pathname (since the javascript source
code isn't stored in any file system).
There's another problem, however: Saving is done by the
IDocumentProvider, so without being able to inject my own, I have to
listen to the dirty flag of the editor and react when it changes to
false, i.e. when the editors performs a save (that does nothing), to
store the edited source back where it came from. The cleanest solution
would be to be able to contribute an IDocumentProvider so I could
control the creation of IDocument, IAnnotationModel and storing the
model back. I have tried this, but my contributed one (using an
extension point) is set as the implicit provider and not used, since the
explicit provider (create by the editor, not contributed) overrides the
implicit one.
Comments?
