Hi all,
I am trying to get up to speed with Eclipse Forms. I have noticed
that most of the tutorials and information on the web provide information
about how to create and place components on a form. However there doesn't
seem to be much information or examples on how to handle the forms
lifecycle..
I have spent the last two days investigating the Eclipse PDEEditor and have
more or less worked out how it is done. The form editor plugin that I have
created has a number of classes which are based on the ones that the
PDEEditor plugin uses. Essentially I have extended the Eclipse Forms
framework but in a much simpler way than the PDEEditor plugin has.
To be honest although I believe I have learned alot from this exercise I
would have much rather downloaded a simple plugin that demonstrates the
essentials :)
Perhaps we could define a list of what these essentials are?
such as;
Form Validation
Providing a model to back the form.
Handling a Stale Form
Handling a Dirty Form
I was wondering if anyone else has gone through a similar process or does
anyone know of any information that describes in more detail the handling of
the forms lifecycle?
Martin
