Getting information from other plugins [message #251208]

Hi,

I created a new Plugin in Eclipse using the Plugin-Project-Wizard and the
Hello-World Template with an action set.

I can start my plugin and it works. Now I am trying to get some
information from a different plugin, which is also loaded. It consists of
a multipage-Editor wirh an underlying EMF Model. How can I access the data
stored in the EMF-Model? I canŽt find an instance of the MultiPageEditor
or an abstractSinglePageEditor?

Regards Daniel

Daniel,

I often see questions about getting things from another plugins and
typically those questions are a little confusing. The generated EMF
editor plugin doesn't itself keep track of all the editors that are
created using the code in that plugin. You'd have to inspect the
workbench and look at its editors to find one with a particular ID.
There might be zero or many instances of the editor. A generated EMF
editor will implement IEditingDomainProvider and from that you can
access the resource set, the resources in it, and the model instances
within those. Here's one way to find open editors...

IWorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow =
workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage page = workbenchWindow.getActivePage();
page.getEditorReferences()...
