Hi everyone,

After develop a grammar for my language and integrate it in my RCP, I stumbled upon costumizing my proposal provider.

I need to access to some information which is outside my language plugins, I don't see can I pass that information unless I put some static which must be assigned before editor being used..

I thought about google injection, but I don't know if it is possible put in there my own objects. I couldn't figure it out.

Someone can tell which is the right approach.

My fundamental problem is that I need information that is outside DSL plugins.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. Thanks for replying.

Summing up... My custom proposals are based on some objects contained by some resources in the workspace and I am able to access these resources through another plugin.

I'm using embedded editor, and I don't want to polute the generated code with static access in the proposalprovider to make available in there the objects I need.

Do you know any way, for example using injection that allows me to pass my objects into proposalprovider, without doing unsafe/ugly code.

Hi this is still to unspecific to give advice. What about simply injecting your util to the proposal provider

Hi. Thanks again. That would be one of my questions.

I can put

@Inject 
MyUtil myutil

in proposalprovider. How do I make a MyUtil object available to be injected, in the code where I create the embedded editor.
I explorer the Injector class, but couldn't figure out How to add a Binding with my object.
