Properties View and TextEditor (or EditorPart) [message #484616]

Hello

I am having trouble linking an EditorPart to a PropertiesView. Maybe I have a fundamental misunderstanding but I hope that somebody can help me figure this out.

I have made it so that my EditorPart implements IAdaptable, ISelection and ISelectionProvider and I have set my EditorPart to be a selection provider using getSite().setSelectionProvider().

However, if I set my getAdapter() method to be:

public Object getAdapter(Class clazz) {
   System.out.println(clazz.getName());
   return super.getAdapter(clazz);
}

I can see that IPropertySource is never requested. I can also see that IPropertySheet is requested and I have tried to return a custom instance of IPropertySheet but this did not work either.

Could somebody suggest what is the best way make an EditorPart (the current editor) to contribute to Properties View?

Cheers!

Hi,
an excellent example from Wayne Beaton for the usage of Adaptors can be
found here:
