Hi,

I am working on a hybrid e3/e4 (4.6M7) application. Most of my perspectives are e3 perspectives but one perspective has been migrated as an e4 perspective provided by a model fragment.

In this e4 perspective I want to show the e3 editor area (org.eclipse.ui.editorss) with its main part stack (org.eclipse.e4.primaryDataStack).

To accomplish this I extended the "sharedElements" of the "IDEWindow" via a seperate model fragment to provide an area with the ID "org.eclipse.ui.editorss" and in this area I added a part stack child with the ID "org.eclipse.e4.primaryDataStack". In my e4 perspective the area is integreated via a MPlaceholder to the imported shared area element.

This way works fine. All compatibility e3 editors are merged together with the e4 parts I provide in the new e4 perspective. Thus the same area and the same part stack is used for all perspectives.

But then something strange happens: I maximize a part and afterwards I try to restore/unzoom the layout (both via double click on the part label).

In all e3 perspectives the behaviour is as expected: The part gets maximized and afterwards the layout is restored. But in the e4 perspective I get the following ClassCastException:

...
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.advanced.impl.AreaImpl cannot be cast to org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.advanced.MPlaceholder
	at org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.minmax.MinMaxAddon.getElementsToRestore(MinMaxAddon.java:908)
	at org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.minmax.MinMaxAddon.unzoom(MinMaxAddon.java:852)

	at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)
	at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.MethodRequestor.execute(MethodRequestor.java:54)
	... 54 more


Has anyone an idea why the exception only occurs in the e4 perspective? In my e4 perspective the area is integreated via a MPlaceholder. Why does the find method solve the placeholder reference in the e4 perspective and not in the e3 perspective.

Thanks a lot!
Felix

Hey Felix,

i think you should read this: https://openchrom.wordpress.com/2016/05/19/editor-3-x4-x-org-eclipse-ui-editorss/

Not 100% sure but it sounds related.

Hi,

thanks. The description in the blog entry did it.

Actually I had to differ in one step. The area in the shared elements needs also to have the id "org.eclipse.ui.editorss" and not "org.eclipse.ui.editor.area".

Then the placeholder has both its own id and the reference id set to "org.eclipse.ui.editorss".

I do not know why this must be done that way, but if I would keep it the way descibed in the blog then two different editor areas apear in my model and the e3 and e4 parts would not be merged together.

Thanks again for the fast and helpful hint!!

Felix
