Hello,
I have a custom project for my generated GMF-editor. As my custom-plugin
expands functionality I want to add new commands that are retrieved by
the EditHelper.
How do I override the already generated EditHelper. I played around with
the type extension points, but did not recieve the desired result so
far. I've set a break point in my new EditHelper but it is not called.
Greetings,
Alexander

Alexander,
You can augment the command returned by an EditHelper by binding an
IEditHelperAdvice to its element type using an adviceBinding element in
the elementTypes extension point. This will result in a composite
command that contains both the command from the EditHelper in your
generated editor plugin _and_ the command from your IEditHelperAdvice.
If you wish to completely _replace_ the command from the EditHelper, you
can set the REPLACE_DEFAULT_COMMAND parameter from your
IEditHelperAdvice, like this:
request.setParameter(IEditCommandRequest.REPLACE_DEFAULT_COM MAND,
Boolean.TRUE);
There is an example of this in the
HalfAdderAdvice#getBeforeConfigureCommand in the runtime logic example.
In this example the advice is contributed by a specializationType
element in the elementTypes extension point because the half adder is a
type in its own right, but the same idea applies when you're using the
adviceBinding element.
Hope that helps,
Linda
