Creating a model browser [message #711789]

HI,

I'm quite new with Graphiti and getting along quite well.
I'm working on a Flowchart example and I have succeeded in building an editor with some basic functionalities.But what I need now is to build a model browser.As you see in the screenshot attached,my project in the project explorer still includes "EClass" and none of the new elements I added.I understand the EClass came up because I selected the default Graphiti Sample project but I'd like to know what steps I need to follow to define my own model browser.
Any pointers to this topic would be of great help ..

Hi,

you have to provide your own tree content provider. Have a look at the contents of
http://git.eclipse.org/c/gmp/org.eclipse.gmp.graphiti.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.common/src/org/eclipse/graphiti/examples/common/navigator

as well as the plugin.xml:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer">
      <viewerContentBinding
            viewerId="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer">
         <includes>
            <contentExtension
                  isRoot="false"
                  pattern="org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.navigatorContent">
            </contentExtension>
         </includes>
      </viewerContentBinding>
   </extension>

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent">
      ...
   </extension>

Cheers,
Joerg
