control some initial view settings [message #1702644]

Hi there

is it possible to predefine the following, using oomph - e.g. in a product setup or project setup?

- define configure contents for problems view (e.g. on selection)
- set package explorer view top level to working sets
- define sequential order of dynamic working sets
- define which perspectives shall be open
- define which views shall be open in which perspective (and their positions)

What can be done with the annotations in the different setup elements?

Cheers
Jörg

There's no special task for that. If this information is stored in a specific file you must figure out where that file
lives and how it's structured. Then it's likely possible to use a ResourceCreationTask or TextModifyTask to manipulate
it. If you find it out you should add an entry to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#Tips_and_Tricks ;-)

> - set package explorer view top level to working sets
In oomph.setup we have the following task to do that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:ResourceCreationTask
xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
excludedTriggers="STARTUP MANUAL"
content="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

workingSetName=&quot;Other Projects&quot;/&gt;&#x0D;&#x0A;&lt;allWorkingSets
workingSetName=&quot;Other Projects&quot;/&gt;&#x0D;&#x0A;&lt;/packageExplorer&gt;"
key="memento"/>
	</section>
</section>
"
targetURL="${workspace.location|uri}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/dialog_settings.xml"
encoding="UTF-8"/>

Note how the excludedTriggers restrict thistask to the BOOTSTRAP trigger of the installer.

> - define sequential order of dynamic working sets
Same here as for your first question.

> - define which perspectives shall be open
In one of my user products I set the default perspective like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0">
<setup:ResourceCreationTask
id="plugin.customization.ini"
excludedTriggers="STARTUP MANUAL"
content="org.eclipse.ui/defaultPerspectiveId=org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.core.perspective
"
targetURL="${installation.location|uri}/${installation.relativeProductFolder}/plugin_customization.ini"/>
<setup:EclipseIniTask
excludedTriggers="STARTUP MANUAL"
option="-pluginCustomization"
value="${plugin.customization.ini.targetURL|file}"/>
</xmi:XMI>

> - define which views shall be open in which perspective (and their positions)
That's currently not possible with just markup; at least I don't know how. Of course you can build your own small
plugin, implement a PerspectiveFacory, install that plugin with Oomph and then use the trick above to set that
perspective by default.

Most are not (yet) documented. Some are, e.g.,
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#Generating_PDE_Target_Definition_files_.28.2A.target.29_and_their_use_by_Tycho

There are some interfaces that declare annotation constants:

org.eclipse.oomph.base.BaseAnnotationConstants
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.AnnotationConstants
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.EAnnotationConstants

Other annotations are declared directly in the classes that exclusively use them:

org.eclipse.oomph.targlets.internal.core.listeners.PomModulesUpdater
org.eclipse.oomph.targlets.internal.core.listeners.PomArtifactUpdater
org.eclipse.oomph.targlets.internal.core.listeners.TargetDefinitionGenerator

Another way to find the usage of annotations is the Call Hierarchy of these two methods:

org.eclipse.oomph.base.ModelElement.getAnnotations()
org.eclipse.oomph.base.ModelElement.getAnnotation(String)

I hope that helps. If you find the time you could start a new wiki page to collect your findings

Cheers

OK, thanks!

I'll put interesting things into Wikis tips and tricks section.

But, I guess I leave most of that fine tuning for later Wink

Starting to get to grips with oomph, thanks to you and Ed.

Have a great weekend!

How do I achieve the same (working sets as toplevel elements) for the project explorer?
