Hello,
we have tried to use your viewers for our content type.
But ModelStructureMergeViewerCreator & ModelContentMergeViewerCreator
classes are not visible outside of org.eclipse.emf.compare.ui plug-in.
Do you plan any extensility of respective viewers?
We want to extend it in these ways:
-use it for our content type outside your plug-in?
-is it possible to reuse your code for displaying of the copare trees with
connecting lines to it?
-is it possible to remove properties page showing attribute values and place
it under content viewer?
-is it possible to change the icons for elements in compare tree?
There is done a lot of work in viewers. It will be very good if this could
be customizable by (UI Composition and/or subclassing).
Thank you very much.
&
Best Regards,
Jan

Hi,
basically the UI extensibility is more a concerne that should be adressed by
the platform team (and more especially the org.eclipse.compare guys.)
Using the "classic" emf.edit features you'll be able to customize your model
representation in the treeview : the icon and the label.
We, and the platform guys, are open to discussion, If you've got a precise
use case which makes sense do not hesitate to ask (in the platform
newsgroup) for more extensibility in the general compare framework.

Hi,
As far as the UI is concerned (apart from the extension point allowing
for new ways to export the resulting diff), we have currently no plan of
providing an extensible API.
As you have already seen, all those classes aren't visible to outside
plugins. Nothing stops you from copying the code or subclassing
discouraged classes, yet expect your code to be broken whenever we
implement changes to the UI.
This may change in the future, but isn't our priority ATM.
Regards,
Laurent Goubet
