Hello,
A draft on the editor configuration extension point is ready for review.
Below is an overview of the document. I should note that the
contentoutlineconfiguration and propertysheetconfiguration classes are still
in the process of being cleaned up, but StructuredTextViewerConfiguration
and its subclasses are ready to rock. All those classes are still currently
under a provisional package, but they will be moved out of provisional
shortly (eta: next week's ibuild) Code changes are already in CVS, and
editors in WTP will be/have been updated in response to the changes. Heads
up to anyone using internal SSE api (content assist, reconciler, line style
provider, viewer configuration), you may need to do some reacting. A small
migration guide is also referenced in the design document.
Enjoy.
Overview:
One main goal of the Structured Source editing framework is to provide a way
for clients to extend the Structured Text Editor without having to subclass
the editor.
Part of this goal is achieved through the editor configuration extension
point. The editor configuration extension point allows clients to customize
the Structured Text Editor for different/new content types.
The Structured Text editor is designed to handle different types of
"structured" content types as input, such as XML, HTML, JSP, CSS. This
includes the ability to change content types on-the-fly. For example,
editing an HTML document, then deciding to change it to JSP by performing
Save As.. *.jsp. The different types of configurations clients can
contribute include:
Outline view configuration - configure behaviour in the outline view
(elements to display, menu items, etc)
Properties view configuration - configure behaviour in the properties
view (properties to display, menu items, etc)
Structured text viewer configuration - configure behaviour in the editor
(content assist, syntax highlighting, hyperlink navigation, etc)
Through an extension point, clients can declare their configuration and the
associated content type or editor id.
