extension point documentProviders [message #234024]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use the extension point
" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.resources.editor.document Providers "
but I don't seem to get it to work.

I guess it's just some silly mistake I make...

Here's what I do in custom plugin.xml:
<extension
point=" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.resources.editor.document Providers ">
<provider
extensions=".xxx_diagram"
class="org.xxx.CustomXxxDocumentProvider"
id="org.xxx.CustomXxxDocumentProvider">
</provider>
</extension>

The constructor of CustomXxxDocumentProvider does not get called when I
open/create a diagram file of type xxx_diagram.

extensions is "." + my diagram filename extension, also tried with model
filename extension

class org.xxx.CustomXxxDocumentProvider exists (plugin.xml validation
displays a warning otherwise).
It extends my generated XxxDocumentProvider which extens
AbstractDocumentProvider, implementing IDocumentProvider as requested.

Is there a way I can debug this, any log if there are problems with an
extension point?

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Hello Peter,

I suppose corresponding document provider is hadrcoded in generated ???DiagramEditor.getDocumentProvider(IEditorInput
input) method, so you have to modify generated code.

Yes, looks like...
Does this extension point make any sense then?

Hello Peter,

If you need it (for extensibility) you can modify generated code to use it.

Out of curiosity, could you provide an example / hint on how to do that?

Thanks,
Peter

Hello Peter,

You can comment out generated ???DiagramEditor.getDocumentProvider() method
so super implementation will be used (calling document provider registry).

I tried it, but getDocumentProvider does not get called.
getDocumentProvider is not used, setDocumentProvider is called by
DiagramDocumentEditor.updateDocumentProvider.

So I changed setDocumentProvider to call
setDocumentProvider(super.getDocumentProvider(input));
in my XxxDiagramEditor.

In DocumentProviderRegistry.getDocumentProvider
editorInput.getAdapter(IFile.class) returns null, so file-extensions are
not used to find documentProvider.

Any idea what I could do?

Thanks,
Peter

Reason for this seems to be that URI.isPlatformResource() returns false,
since segments[0] is the first directory of my path, and not "resource".

Do you know the reason for this?
Any workaround you could think of?

Thanks,
Peter
