Dear all,
do you know a tutorial on how to manage working sets?
I have successfully set up the working set extension point, but elements
in the working set are presented in the Project Explorer in a flat way,
though my adapters correctly provide getParent() information.
Maybe I am missing something trivial but I cannot understand what, so a
complete tutorial would be useful.
Thanks for the hints.
Cheers,
Fabio

Fabio,
I found this blog demo pretty useful:
http://www.peterfriese.de/eclipse-working-sets-part-i/
You know you have to configure the explorer to show working sets via the
drop down menu in the upper right correct, right?

Hi Ed,
yes I have "TopLevel Elements" set on "Working Sets".
Anyway there has been a misunderstanding probably because maybe I have
asked my question in the wrong way.
I am not interested in using working sets from a user point of view, but
from a plugin developer point of view.
What happens is the following. Normally I have this:
Project
+ Contribution via Common Navigator extension points
+ Parent element A
+ Child A.1
+ Child A.2
+ Child A.3
+ ...
The contribution shows elements that do not reside on the workspace (in
particular, I present a list of element available on a remote server
hierarchy).
I set up a working set type by providing an implementation of a
WizardPage for selecting elements presented through the Common Navigator
contribution. I do this through the org.eclipse.ui.workingSets extension
point.
Everything works. I am able to build a working sets containing, for
example, A, A.1, A.2. But when I activate the working set just created
instead of having in the project explorer
A
|- A.1
|- A.2
I have
A
A.1
A.2
That is parent-child relationships are not taken into account.
All the elements A, A.1, etc. are adaptable to WorkbenchAdapter and the
getParent() method correctly returns the actual parent.
I don't know what's wrong in my code since I think that I have set up
things correctly, but of course there is something that doesn't work.
That's why I was asking about a tutorial, but from the plugin developer
perspective.
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Fabio

By actual parent, I assume you mean that A.1's parent is A? I get the
sense that perhaps you've somehow returning the same object as the
parent for A, A.1, and A.2. I've never used these APIs, so I doubt
what I can say will be of much help. Sorry. Hopefully someone else can
help...

Thank you anyway Ed.
Working sets are not working as I expected (even for standard
resources)... Maybe I should use filters to show only the selected elements.
Cheers,
Fabio
