How to get an E4 service inside PropertyTester class ? [message #729756]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a Expression Definition class and use it in .e3xmi menu's core expression to handle if it is visible or not.

I need to looking for some data in the e4 model, so I need EModelService.

I've tried to inject the EModelService in the tester class, but it not worked...

public class MyPropertyTester extends PropertyTester {
	
	@Inject
	private EModelService modelService;

How could I get a reference of EModelService inside a PropertyTester class?

thanks for any tip

cheers

Cristiano

PropertyTesters are not created through DI so you can't use injection
for them.

Why do you use PropertyTesters anyways. This is not needed anymore in
Eclipse 4 because you can simply annotate a handler method with
@CanExecute or am I missing something?

Hi Tom,

What I'm trying to achieve is to get some Menu contributions visible only when a determined perspective is activated (selected by user).

Can I do that using @CanExecute ?

Searching for this subject on the Web points me to use Core Expressions and PropertyTesters / Test Variables... but I couldn't find nothing related to E4 yet.

So, could you please point me to right direction ?

thanks a lot

Cristiano
