Customize save action [message #668585]

Hi All,

I created a new editor using xText, when the file is saved, I need to generate(or overwrite) automatically a new file containing the result of the myFile manipulation.

It is possible to customize 'SAVE ACTION' of my editor created by Xtext?

If is possible, how I can start??

Thanks,

Luigi

Hi,

have a look at the domain model example shipped with Xtext. What you want is a builder participant, that starts generation when a resource is changed. It is not necessary to modify the save action (although that is possible of course).

Thanks for your help, your suggestion is just what I need.
So I must add a new extension point like this:

<extension point="org.eclipse.xtext.builder.participant">
    <participant          class="org.eclipse.xtext.example.ui.DomainmodelExecutableExtensionFactory:org.eclipse.xtext.example.ui.generator.Generator">
    </participant>
 </extension>

where org.eclipse.xtext.example.ui.generator.Generator is a class that implements IXtextBuilderParticipant or the project needs something else?

Hi,

I guess that's enough (have a go and see if your class is used in a build). Make sure you use the ExecutableExtensionFactory of your own language (there should be plenty of references to it in the plugin.xml), so that your builder participant class is instantiated correctly.
