Where to find the IServiceConstants? [message #1004630]

Hello,
in almost each tutorial the annotation
@Named(IServiceConstants.ACTIVE_SELECTION) Some thing is described. But
where can I find the IServiceConstants? Which plugin contains this
interface and what feature to install?

best regards,
Gilbert

Try using the Open Type dialog (CTRL + SHFT + T)

Hi Gilbert,

IServiceConstants is in the org.eclipse.e4.ui.services plugin.
But I don't know which feature to use for a pure e4 application ... but would also be interessted in the answer Smile

.

Hope that helps.

Right now there is only one feature for everything e4 and that is org.eclipse.e4.rcp, including all org.eclipse.e4.core.* plugins.

I tried this with an empty result set :(

Please check the following: Open the "Preferences" dialog and select the
node "Plug-in Development": Ensure that the option "Include all plug-ins
from target in Java search" is checked. If it wasn't this might be the
reason that Ctrl+Shift+T wasn't working.

Ok, I added the dependency to org.eclipse.e4.ui.services and now I can
access the IServiceConstants. More interesting, after adding the
dependency the IServiceConstants are listed when pressing CTRL + SHFT +
T. Thanks to all.

best regards,
Gilbert

One last question: how do I inject the active selection when
right-clicking in the Ecore diagram editor (or in an GMF editor in
general)? I tried this what always results in an null object:

@Execute
public void execute(@Optional @Named(IServiceConstants.ACTIVE_SELECTION)
IGraphicalEditPart editPart){
// do something)
}

Ok I got it:

@Execute
public void execute(@Optional @Named(IServiceConstants.ACTIVE_SELECTION)
StructuredSelection structuredSelection){
// do something)
if(!structuredSelection.isEmpty()){
Object selectedElement = structuredSelection.getFirstElement();
if(selectedElement instanceof IGraphicalEditPart){
// do something
}
}
}
