using of own templates [message #83434]

Hello,

I would like that VE uses another template for the components.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------
- I changed DefaultMethodTemplate.javajet to MyMethodTemplate.javajet and
changed a little bit the code.

- created new class MyMethodTextGenerator.java that is similar to
DefaultMethodTextGenerator.java, only the name of template is
"MyMethodTemplate".

- in the ..ROOT...override I changed
" org.eclipse.ve.java.core/org.eclipse.ve.internal.java.codege n.util.DefaultMethodTextGenerator "
to "java:/MyDecoder.MyMethodTextGenerator"

But I think that the VE cannot find the class MyMethodTextGenerator.
Because it doesn't generate any text.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------
1. How is it right to write the path for own plugin?

2. I also saw that it is possible to write own .override. How can I "say
to the VE" that he has to take my override-files?

Thank you very much
Elena

Hi Elena,
Just change that line in the ..ROOT...override to read like:

methodGenerator="my.plugin/my.plugin.package.MyDefaultMethodTextGenerator "/>

And MyDefaultMethodTextGenerator should be picked up.
(Clearing the configuration might help if the above didnt make any
difference)

Regards,
Sri.

Hello,

I changed it to

methodGenerator="MyDecoder/mydecoder.MyMethodTextGenerator"/ >

But it still does not insert any text. Although this time I just copied
DefaultMethodTextGenerator.java to MyMethodTextGenerator.java and only
changed the word "private" to "public" in template
"DefaultMethodTemplate.javajet".

Did I understand you right: MyDecoder is the name for plugin, mydecoder is
the name for package?

How can I clear the configuration? (I always started eclipse with the
option -clear)

Thanks
Elena

Are you dropping Swing or SWT components? The SWT plugin overrides the
method generator of widgets and below:
methodGenerator=" org.eclipse.ve.swt/org.eclipse.ve.internal.swt.codegen.SWTNo ReturnMethodTextGenerator "

Do you have any exceptions in the log?

put a breakpoint in BeanPartFactory.generateInitMethod() will give you
more information on what/why

Hello,
Please make sure that all the static final variables are correctly
assigned to the appropriate plugin(BASE_PLUGIN), template
path(TEMPLATE_PATH)and javajet file name(METHOD_TEMPLATE_CLASS_NAME). Do
you find any exceptions in the logs?
Regards,
Sri.
