Create an editor who extend the HTML WTP editor [message #228286]

Hi,

I want to create an editor for template programming. The templates are
composed of HTML and template operators. I want to use the existing HTML
editor from the WTP plugin and extend it to recognize this template
operators.

If I create a new Editor I don't understand how to couple him with the wtp
html editor. I tried to do this :

plugin.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.2"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes">
<content-type
file-extensions="tpl"
priority="high"
name="Template"
id="ch.wess.editors.template"
base-type="org.eclipse.wst.html.core.htmlsource"/>
</extension>

<extension
id="test.editors.XMLEditor"
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
name="TPL Editor"
extensions="tpl"
icon="icons/sample.gif"

contributorClass="org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.BasicTextEditorActionContributor "
class="ch.wess.editors.TPLEditor"
id="ch.wess.editors.TPLEditor">
</editor>
</extension>

<extension
id="ch.wess.empty.Configuration"
name="TPL Configuration"
point="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration">
<sourceViewerConfiguration
class="ch.wess.editors.TPLViewerConfiguration"
target="ch.wess.editors.template">
</sourceViewerConfiguration>
</extension>
</plugin>

But my class TPLViewerConfiguration is never called.

My question is what is the right way to do this ?

Thanks for your help !

The earlier thread, "Custom Outline View for HTML files", is worth
reading, but I think you've misunderstood how the value of the id
attribute is treated in this element.

Hi Nitin,

Thanks for your answer.

I read all the mails in the thread "Custom Outline View for HTML files".
But it helped me not enough :-)

Today I did another test. I did a very simple plugin with only two
classes. The Activator class and a StructuredTextViewerConfigurationTPL
class which extends StructuredTextViewerConfigurationHTML. And in my
plugin.xml I put :

<extension
point="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration">
<sourceViewerConfiguration
class="confTest.editor.StructuredTextViewerConfigurationTPL "
target="org.eclipse.wst.html.core.htmlsource.source"/>
</extension>

This works perfectly, when I open a file with the HTML editor my TPL
configuration is called. But now I want that my configuration class is
only called when the file extension is *.tpl. So I tried to create a new
contentType but it doesn't work :-( Here's the definition of my
contentType :

<extension
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes">
<content-type
base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml"
default-charset="UTF-8"
file-extensions="tpl"
id="confTest.template"
name="Template"
priority="high">
<describer
class=" org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.XMLRootElementContentDescri ber2 ">
<parameter name="element" value="elementRacine" />
</describer>
</content-type>
</extension>

<extension
point="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration">
<sourceViewerConfiguration
class="confTest.editor.StructuredTextViewerConfigurationTPL "
target="confTest.template"/>
</extension>

Thanks four your help !

You'll notice that the HTML content type ID is defined in
org.eclipse.wst.html.core with an id value of "htmlsource",
resulting in a final ID of org.eclipse.wst.html.core.htmlsource.
Odds are you need to change the ID you're referring to in your
plugin.xml.

I found the solution :

<extension
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes">
<content-type
base-type="org.eclipse.wst.html.core.htmlsource"
default-charset="UTF-8"
file-extensions="tpl"
id="confTest.template"
name="Template"
priority="high">
<describer
class=" org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.XMLRootElementContentDescri ber2 ">
<parameter name="element" value="html" />
</describer>
</content-type>
</extension>

Thanks for your help !

Hi !

I have some questions about syntax highlighting. I used the
editorConfiguration extension point and I extended the
StructuredTextViewerConfigurationHTML.

When I open a file with .tpl extension the HTML code is highlighted. This
is ok, but now I want to add syntax highlighting for template operators
who are in HTML code. A template operator looks like this : {operator
parm1=value1 param2=value2 etc...}, a comment : {* Comment *} and a
variable : {$variable}. Is this hard to add a partitioner who recognize
region between "{" and "}" ? And how do I do this ?

I never found where in my configuration I can add partitionType and rules
to recognize it.

Thanks for help!

Please, I really need help. Is there a way to add more partition ? Because
in my function getLineStyleProviders(ISourceViewer sourceViewer, String
partitionType) I need to add 3 partition types... How can I do this ?

Thanks :D

It's not really easy to do. The problem is that much of this is
controled through the SourceParser that the SSE framework uses.

In order to add these extra partitions you basically need to modify a
lot of internal code.

The above bug is related to what you want to do.
