I am trying to better understand the mechanism of extension points and for
the moment I am stuck with the following problem :
I am using a simple JFace tableviewer (Class extends Viewpart) with a
content provider (implements IStructuredContentProvider) and a label
provider (implements ITableLabelProvider).
On this plugin a define an extension point where the user can provide an
alternate implementation for one or more of the above mentioned Classes.
To change the behaviour of the table viewer for another plugin I could
extend the content provider with a custom implementation.
My question : how then do I define the new view in the plugin.xml?
Only the custom content provider class can be found within the plugin. The
class extending ViewPart is in another plugin. How then to define a new
view which uses the extension point + the custom content provider
implementation.
