[EMFStore] Atomic Undo/Redo [message #1578911]

I have an EMF-based plugin that uses the capabilities of EMFStore. My problem is that the operations I perform can be completely undone only in several steps. For example, creating a child object using CreateChildCommand results in two operations (Copied from Commit dialog):

Created child
Added Child as child in Parent

That's why to perform the undo I have to actually call the undo operation twice (Using UIUndoLastOperationController).

I found a solution using the ProjectSpace.beginCompositeOperation() method, but is looks too "internal".

Here:
www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/540419/
I read that starting from version 1.1 there should be a some kind of a command stack per project. In this case I could just call the undo/redo on command stack.

Also I noticed that the remove command generates one operation but with "nested operations", so undo works here. Can this be applied also for other types of operations?

We use an ESOperationModifier to collect operations into composites in
many of our customer projects:

In general this would be also possible for CreateOperations but was
never implemented.

Hi Maximilian,
Thank you for this quick and life-saving answer!

I managed to do this with the following line:
ExtensionRegistry.INSTANCE.set(ESOperationModifier.ID, new AutoOperationWrapper());

I will declare this in plugin activator for now, but it would be great to set the operation modifier through extension point some day.

Hi Yuriy,

you are welcome!
Maybe you want to open a bugzilla for having an extension point for
this, I think it is a good idea.

Cheers,
Maximilian
