Hello,

I wondered I've there were any examples on how to implement undo - redo functionality in an RCP - application. On the web I've found lots of references to eclipse 3, but very little for e4.

In the eclipse docs, I find some explanations in the package org.eclipse.core.commands.operations, but I really don't see how I can put this together with declarative commands and handlers?

Any tutorial or source code example available for this... ?

Thanks a lot,

Thomas Elskens

Hi,

The question is in what context you want to do undo/redo. E.g. in our
applications most undo/redo is coming from EMF hence we don't even need
to the core.commands support for it.

In my understanding undo/redo concept is fairly easy to accomplish:
a) you have a Stack of Commands
b) A command is a duple of the command and its reverse operation

Err, does this mean I'd rather implement undo-redo myself and not use commands.operations?

I agree it's not difficult, but as RCP-Commands are great in unifying keybindings-menuitems-UI-buttons action handling, I was wondering if I couldn't "append" undo/redo to them with a e4 productivity-tool?

As for defining my business model in EMF, it's on the list of things I would like to test, but I'm new to all Eclipse products and I would like to proceed step by step.
