Hey guys,

I would like to create an eclipse-plugin. What I want is the following
I have an open Textfile in an editor in eclipse. Once I push a certain button I want the file to be displayed in the text editor as well as in the "sample ecore model editor". (The content of the text-file is somehow already connected with an ecore file so thats no problem).

But how do i get the ecore-editor to open with that file?

I was also thinking about extending the "sample ecore modeling editor" to add some personal features. Is there any possibility to do so? Couldn't find anything regarding that topic

regards
golden_wing

What's so special about the sample editor that's different from what you
get for your generated editor?

You can look at how the generated wizards opens an editor.

Again, why not use the generated editor?

I want to create a perspective. In this one I want the Editor to my FIle (its an Xtext-generated Editor) on the left side of my screen and on the right side the corresponding ecore editor.

I just wasn't able to add the ecore model editor to a perspective, and i don't want, that the user has to add it himself. The new perspective should already include this right away.

So why not the generated EMF editor?

That has nothing to do with whether you use the sample editor on the
generated editor. It sounds to me like you should be using the
generated editor, or perhaps better still, extend your Xtext editor to
include whatever aspects of the generated editor you'd like to keep; I
don't know if that's feasible mind you.

Well it doesn't have to Be the Sample Editor i also found the generic emf Editor pretty nice. However I'm not sure what you mean with the generated Editor. Couldn't find it.

Still I'm Not able to add one of These Editors to a defined perspective. Again - the perspective should already be defined in the plugin

What do you mean by "add"? I'm not an RCP expert but I think you can not add editors to a perspective declaratively. Only views and one *area* for all editors that will be opened at runtime.

Ok forget about the "add"-Aspect Wink

Figures out, that I can't just add this editor. Though I can add Editors to a plugin and connect them with a specific file-extension.

Does anybody know, where to find the Class and corresponding Contributor to the org.eclipse.emf.genericEditor?
