How to refresh models in different editors? [message #147179]

Hello, everyone

I have created three editors, and they can show the same model with
different figures. Now I edit the model in a editor, and want to refresh
the model's properties in the other two editors. How can I implement this
function?

Thanks in advance.

The best solution for this is to use a notifier mechanism.

The model is the notifier and the editors, or better the editparts should
register for being notified if the model has changed. Then you can call
the refreshVisuals() or refreshChildren() method depending on what hast
changed.

Are you sharing the model instances across editors?

No. Maybe I can say that it is another problem to me. Can I use the same
model instance in different editor?

I think this solution may be feasible in a editor. But if there are
several editors, how can I add a listener to a model in a editor, but the
other editor can receive the notification if the model has changed?

OK, if you use different models that doesn't work......but why do want to
refresh the other editors, because their model has not changed.

To answer your other question: It is definitely possible to share a model
instance across editors. Then works the notification pattern.

Yes, this is what the JDT does with textual documents. All editors are
working on the same document simultaneously.

Ed,

for the specific version here, the problem lies within differences of Juno and Luna.

For the class org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.advanced.MPerspective for example, in Luna I have to add the plug-in org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.workbench while in Juno it was re-exported by org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench. So this would be pretty easy to fix. Currently, however, we build the backend against the .target file, and limiting the Target definition made by oomph to the repositories mentioned in this .target file would allow for an easy introduction of oomph without forcing to change all the builds etc.

The definition of eclipse.target.platform = None does NOT work for me. I tried and I know how it is supposed to work. I also copied it from JDT.setup. It seems however, that the value change is simply not considered.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72943400/2014-11-13_1323.png

The result is: It ignores my own "None" Targlet and uses the Luna one.

Thank you Ed!!!
