Adding Global Variable [message #446267]

I'd like to create an eclipse plug-in that adds support for a new global
template variable. For instance "user e-mail". I'm easily able to create
a plug-in that adds template variables, but only within specific contexts
(such as 'java' or 'javadoc').

One place in particular where I want to access my new global variable is
within Java > Code Style > Code Templates.

So, I have several questions:

1. Is there some easy way to add the global template variable?

2. Otherwise, via my plug-in, I'm extending the
'org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates' extension point. I set my resolve to a
class that resolves the new variable. However, I must set a
contextTypeId. Again, if I set something like 'java' it works, but then
it's not globally accessible. I can't find any documentation on lists of
available contextTypeIds. I've tried guessing "global", "text", etc. none
seem to work.

Any help would be great appreciated!!

Please take a look at the article written by Thomas Wabner on his wordpress. He uses the following method to register resolvers with all context types:

private void registerResolvers() {
  final ContextTypeRegistry codeTemplateContextRegistry = JavaPlugin.getDefault().getCodeTemplateContextRegistry();
  final Iterator ctIter = codeTemplateContextRegistry.contextTypes();
  while (ctIter.hasNext()) {
    final TemplateContextType contextType = (TemplateContextType) ctIter.next();
    contextType.addResolver(new BundleIdResolver());
    contextType.addResolver(new BundleVersionResolver());
  }
}

Andreas Höhmann has found another solution for the similar problem.

I hope this helps Wink

Have a nice day.
