How to add code to all XXXEditPart's and XXXViewFactories at one place? [message #47724]

Hi,

I want to overwrite handleNotificationEvent for all generated
XXXEditPart to listen for changes - but it's annoying and if I add new
component I’ll have to overwrite the same method again and again
the same is for XXXViewVactory - I have to modify createStyles to add
one more style.

I'm looking for a solution similar to EditPolicies where I use extension
point - org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.editpolicyProviders and in my
class to install edit policy to EditPart if EditPart is one of those I'm
interested. Is there any similar mechanism for handleNotificationEvent
and createStyles ?

Regards,
Trifonov

Hello Trifonov,

You can try using dynamic templates.

Hi Alex,

I know that feature (Although, I haven't use it and I don't know details
about it) but if you change something in templates in next version of
GMF I'll have to rewrite my templates

It depends on the level of template granularity.

If there's <jet include fail="silent"> in the very place you need change
in, you could place your extended code in the separate .jetinc file and
don't bother about merging templates in the future. Right now we don't
provide granularity finer than whole template, however, it doesn't mean we
won't if there's need (read: bugzilla)

Hi,

I've got the following hierarchy: AbstractWidget - is abstract class and
all concrete widgets extends it. I believe it will be very nice if I've
got generated AbstractWidgetEditpPart and AbstractWidgetViewFactory.
I'll be able to edit just the abstract classes and to get the
modification in my sub-classes easily. I made a note about that in the
treat where GMF 2.0 was discussed.

I guess these are quite generic requirements - plug in custom edit
policy to update edit part / view on changes in domain / notation models
and define custom style in gmfgraph model; we could support them in
tooling...

Maybe such enhancement requests should be added to bugzilla?
