Open editor in the presence or nested projects , API question [message #1030909] Mon, 01 April 2013 00:01 Go to next message

EGit is using IDE.openEditor to open an editor from the Git History (CommitFileDiffViewer.java) in EGit, but I cannot see an API
that makes sure it opens the resource in the most nested projects, usually the Java Project that contains he resource. I just assume that is the right thing to
do.

The layout of the projects are:

<workspace>/jgit/.project (named jgit) (top project of type General)
<workspace>/jgit/org.eclipse.jgit/.project (top project, of type Java)

How do I open resource (say jgit/org.eclipse.jgit/src/org/eclipse/jgit/api/AddCommand.java as src/org/eclipse/jgit/api/AddCommand.java withing P/org.eclipse.jgit rather
than org.eclipse.jgit/src/org/eclipse/jgit/api/AddCommand.java within P/jgit ?

For most resource types there is no problem, but some resources, such as Java files, must be interpreted in the
context of a specific project for all functionality to be available.

I imagine this one opens exactly the IFile you specify:

org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.openEditor(IWorkbenchPage, IFile, boolean)

So I guess that's not the one you're using.

It's not so specific what you're doing.

If you know the IFile you want, you should be able to use that
approach. I suppose in general you can't assume there exists a
corresponding IFile. This method could be used to locate all such
corresponding IFiles and from that you could use a "most deeply nested"
criterion to choose among them.

org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.WorkspaceRoot.findFilesForLocationURI(URI)

Of course you could fail to find one, in which case you'd need to use
some other form of editor input, e.g., one for the direct file system.
Does EGit integrate with EFS to support its own URI scheme so that it
can avoid bugs such as this one?

Another problem is one like the bug above, where the resource contains
references other resources via relative URIs, and needs to resolve them
in the same historical state and relative to the logical project
structure in the workspace (not the physical structure in the git repo).

Ok. I think that solves the problem. Thanks. I forgot that an IFile is a resource name, not a filename.
