Hi all,
I am currently trying to rebuild a GMF-based application with Sirius. While
defining the actual editors works fine I am still a bit confused about the
application frame.
In GMF the generated editor plug-in can also act as RCP application, since
it contains menu entries, an application class and so on. With Sirius there
should probably be a dedicated plug-in for the "main application" which is
then maintained independently from the editors?
With regards to extensions I used to utilise Xpand aspect templates for
injecting them before generation.
One small example is that the palette should be placed on the left side for
example:
«AROUND additions FOR gmfgen::GenEditorView-»
@Override
protected int getInitialDockLocation() {
return org.eclipse.draw2d.PositionConstants.WEST;
}
«ENDAROUND»
What would be the appropriate approach to convert such extensions to Sirius
in general? I guess the right way to go would be a separate plug-in
containing custom classes which are injected/registered using extension
points. Is that correct? Maybe there is some reading material or example
available?
TIA,
Axel

Hi Alex,
thank you for elaborating on these questions. After I completed some other
tasks I am going to do some tryouts and report back afterwards.
Regards,
Axel
