How JavaEditor example can extend CompilationUnitEditor [message #9236]

Hi all,

I am using the javaeditor example to test my plugin work.I am trying to
get hold of ISourceViewer through the following methodby pressing a button
on the messageDialog after teh editor has been created.

public void setEditable(boolean editable) {
ISourceViewer viewer = getSourceViewer();
if (viewer != null) {
viewer.setEditable(editable);
}
}

But I am having some difficulty as I always get a null value for
"viewer".I read a hack for this problem that is:

if (part instanceof CompilationUnitEditor) {
CompilationUnitEditor editor = (CompilationUnitEditor)part;
ITextViewer viewer =
(ITextViewer)editor.getAdapter(ITextOperationTarget.class);
}

I get "part" from this code
IEditorPart part = page.getActiveEditor();
System.out.println("part");

The "part" value I get here says
org.eclipse.internal.jdt.ui.javaeditor.compilationuniteditor .

But my editor extends TextEditor not CompilatioUunitEditor,because of
which the code doesn't run.If I change it to "part instanceof TextEditor"
it won't work as the part value is different.
On the other hand if I try to extends the javaeditor from
CompilationUnitEditor I can't do that as I get an error "can't resolve it".

Any help would be appreciated.

Syed

It can't. This is telling you that the active editor in the page is the
standard Java editor, not your editor.

:-( That is weird sort of,I have been working with that editor for such a
long time knowing that it is my editor.Is there any way I can cjheck if my
editor is really working as it is suppose to.

You can always set a breakpoint in your editor. If the debugger stops there,
your editor is running. (But I thought part of your problem was that
breakpoints are mysteriously not being hit?)
