Hi,

I want to change the behaviour of the generated ActionBarContributor so that
the create child submenu launches a child specific wizard instead of simply
creating a child. Having looked at the code it appears I can achieve this
by subclassing CommandParameter to hold the wizard class and creating this
new class in the collectNewChildDescriptors method. I can then subclass
CreateNewChild action to launch the specified wizard in the run method.

Is this a sensible approach or is there a better solution?

John.

John,

Your design seems reasonable to me, although if you want to maintain the
separation between the UI-independent (edit) and UI-dependent (editor) plugins,
you might want to consider using some kind of UI independent "wizard descriptor"
in the CommandParameter. Maybe that's already what you had in mind, or maybe
you've already combined the two plugins anyway?

Frank.
