Containers [message #121544] Fri, 07 April 2006 05:04 Go to next message

Hello.

I'm using VE 1.1 and I have some doubts about how containers actually
work. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I have followed the
tutorial on adding custom objects to the palette and I'm now trying to
apply it in a different way. I have the following in my plugin.xml:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ve.java.core.contributors">
<palette
container="org.eclipse.jdt.USER_LIBRARY/LBR"

categories="com/gft/litebranch/eclipse/dlgeditor/litebranch.xmi "/>
</extension>

USER_LIBRARY/LBR is a user library defined in the Java build path user
libraries, and contains the jar with the beans. The plugin itself contains
the xmi file, overrides, etc. This is not giving me any errors in the log,
but nothing is being added to the palette. Any ideas and/or help more than
welcome.

Thank you.

Regards,

Patrick

VE 1.1 doesn't allow paths in the container attribute. It only allows
one level path of the container (e.g. org.eclipse.jdt.USER_LIBRARY". VE
1.2 allows you to do this.

You can try the latest VE 1.2 integration build with Eclipse 3.2M6 and
give it a try. However, there will be migration issues you may have to
worry about. In particular the AbstractEMFContainerPolicy has changed a
lot. We haven't documented these migrations.

Also some other migration docs are available at:

http://www.eclipse.org/vep/WebContent/docs/migration/migrati on.html

container="org.eclipse.jdt.USER_LIBRARY/LBR"

Hello Rich,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I need to get this working on v1.1
since we cannot modify the IDE to Eclipse 3.2. Thank you anyway.
