Hi,

I want to open a xtext model file in text editor in some conditions.

File ->OpenWith works fine, but I want to achieve this programmatically.
When user double clicks on the file. I want to check some condition and if true, I want to open that file in text editor.

How can I achieve this ?


Thanks and regards,
Virag Purnam

Hi Mr. Christian Dietrich,

Do you have example?
Where should I call this to override association.
Can I call from NatureAddingEditorCallback.java ?

Thanks and regards,

And you don't call it. You simply implement it.
It will be called if you open a file
And then you can tell it to open with another editor
Instead of the all

Hi Mr. Christian Dietrich,

I have implemented IEditorAssociationOverride after using that extension point but it is not getting called when I open file.

Any idea?

<extension
          point="org.eclipse.ui.ide.editorAssociationOverride">
       <editorAssociationOverride
             class="CustomEditorAssociationOverride"
             id="customEditorAssociationOverride">
       </editorAssociationOverride>
    </extension>


Thanks and regards,
Virag Purnam

In implementation.
I just added some sysout to check if control comes there.

public class CustomEditorAssociationOverride implements IEditorAssociationOverride {

	public CustomEditorAssociationOverride() {
		// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
	}

	@Override
	public IEditorDescriptor[] overrideEditors(IEditorInput editorInput, IContentType contentType,
			IEditorDescriptor[] editorDescriptors) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		System.out.println("Virag");
		return null;
	}

	@Override
	public IEditorDescriptor[] overrideEditors(String fileName, IContentType contentType,
			IEditorDescriptor[] editorDescriptors) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		System.out.println("Virag1");
		return null;
	}

	@Override
	public IEditorDescriptor overrideDefaultEditor(IEditorInput editorInput, IContentType contentType,
			IEditorDescriptor editorDescriptor) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		System.out.println("Virag2");
		return null;
	}

	@Override
	public IEditorDescriptor overrideDefaultEditor(String fileName, IContentType contentType,
			IEditorDescriptor editorDescriptor) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		System.out.println("Virag3");
		return null;
	}

}

Hello Mr. Christian Dietrich,

But still these methods are not getting called, when file is opened.
Do you see any mistake from my end ?

Hi Mr. Christian Dietrich,

I have created a sample Xtext project for the same.

Grammar:
grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals hidden(WS, ML_COMMENT, SL_COMMENT, TEST_STMT)

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl/MyDsl"

Model:
	conts+=Cont* procs+=Proc*;
	
Cont:
	'Cont' name=ID '{' items+=Item* '}' ;

Item: 'Item' name=ID;


Proc:
	'Link' item1=[Item|ID] 'OF' con1=[Cont|ID] 'TO' item2=[Item|ID] 'OF' con2=[Cont|ID]
;

//Test  statement
terminal TEST_STMT :  'FreeText: ' ->  '.';

	}

	@Override
	public IEditorDescriptor overrideDefaultEditor(String fileName, IContentType contentType,
			IEditorDescriptor editorDescriptor) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return editorDescriptor;
	}

}


Model file:
Cont container1 {	
	Item item1
	
}

Cont container2 {
	Item item2
}  

Link item1 OF container1 TO item2 OF container2



Thanks for your continuous help.

Thanks and regards,
