Multiple target runtimes per project [message #1428944]

Hi,
I´m facing the situation that I need to deal with two bpmn2 files (with different file extensions) that have different target runtimes with in the same project. They are also handled by two different editor implementations.

As the target runtime is a project wide configuration, this makes several validations in the bpmn2 modeler fail as for example both runtimes understand different expression and type languages.

Is there a way to make sure that a certain file extension is always validated against a certain target runtime?
Best regards,
Stefan

Yes you can. You just need to change your IBpmn2RuntimeExtension#isContentForRuntime(IEditorInput) to look at the file extension instead of the contents - you should be able to get that from the IEditorInput.

Sounds good. I will give it a try.
Can you give me a bit more insight on what will happen if there is a project configuration and an implementation of "isContentForRuntime" which are both would fit for the file. What will be stronger?
regards,
Stefan

There's no guaranteed order in which the Target Runtime extensions will be tested (sorry) - the first one that responds with "Yes, I can handle this file" wins. The default Target Runtime (in org.eclipse.bpmn2.modeler.core) is tested last. You'll just have to make sure that ALL of the extensions you provide, cooperate with each other.

I was trying this. However, I figured out that the BPMN2ProjectValidator seems to ignore this. I still get an exception during validation. Looking into the code base, I saw that the getTargetRuntime() method of the class queries the target runtime of the project and thus calls to the wrong Bpmn2ModelerResourceFactoryImpl.
Any clue?

Hmm, yes, well...the validation classes still need some work. Can you please update this bugzilla for this use case?
Thanks,
Bob

Done.
Do you have an idea when this might be tackled?

Thanks.
Well, that depends...how critical is this for your work? Currently I'm the only developer on this project and could use some help <hint, hint> so if you're willing to lend a hand...?
