How to make JavaEditor example editor extend CompilationUnitEditor [message #92993]

Hi all,

I like to know if there is any example or documentation about how to
change the JavaEditor example editor so that it extends
CompilationUnitEditor.I have looked into it before but it seems that I
can't extend it as it it an internal API.

Any pointer will be appreciated.

Syed

You can. I wanted to extend it and to add an additional tab to it and it
worked.
here is part of my code :

public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {

tabFolder = new TabFolder(parent,0);

TabItem item1= new TabItem(tabFolder,0);

item1.setText("Source");

Composite comps = new Composite(tabFolder,0);

item1.setControl(comps);

comps.setLayout(new FillLayout());

super.createPartControl(comps);//this creates the control for the source.

this is in a class which extends CompilationUnitEditor

and this is a part of my plugin.xml file - these plugins are needed to run
(or at least some of them. I think that some of them may be obsolete, but I
have no time to prove it)

<requires>

<import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.ui"/>

<import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.launching"/>

<import plugin="org.eclipse.swt"/>

<import plugin="org.eclipse.ui"/>

<import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.core"/>

</requires>

if these plugins are not imported you would have a "ClassNotFound" exception
when in the runtime workbench.

And at last :

if you want to use the abilities of the original code editor set the
"contributorclass" element like this:

contributorClass="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.CompilationUnitEdit
orActionContributor".

otherwise you won't have all the additional menus and actions that the java
editor supports.

I wish you success.
