Make VE generate XML instead of Java [message #101386] Fri, 05 August 2005 19:47 Go to next message

Originally posted by: saycheers.yahoo.com

Hi,
Can anyone guide me on how I can extend VE to generate XML instead of
Java? I want to extend VE by writing a complex widget. I want to make VE
write the data collected from this widget to an XML file(representing the
semantic model). I also want to save the visual data in my own file format
(notational model) so that when I again open the file I can place the
components in the correct location and populated with the correct data
from my XML file.

From the source code of VE I am trying to find out where exactly is it
writing and reading the Java source code for the widgets (so that I can
intercept it and read from and write to an XML file). I haven't had much
luck. If someone can at least shed light on this I will be very thankful.

Thanks,
James.

Hi James,
Some good starting points are papers available in the "Extending the
Visual Editor Articles" section of the Visual Editor's documentation
page
( http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E /vep-home/WebContent/docs/doc.html)
Regards,
Sri.
