Register a profile as built-in [message #474735] Fri, 27 July 2007 14:26 Go to next message

Hi everybody !

I've made some profiles, and I want to make them available as simply as
possible. To do so, i've defined a pathmap to these profiles using the
uri_mapping extension point in my plugin providing those profiles...
Example :

<extension id="ramse-profiles"
point="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.uri_mapping">
<mapping source="pathmap://RAMSES_PROFILES/"
target="platform:/plugin/no.ntnu.item.ramses.core/profiles/ ">
</mapping>
</extension>

So I can access my profiles using the pathmap. But I would like to go
further and make my profiles available automatically (without needing to
Load resource... type the pathmap manually) pretty much like the way
Standard and Ecore profiles are available. I looked up in
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.resources project but I couldn't find any clue
about how to define that.

So, is there someone who could give me a hint on this?

Cheers,

Vincent Latombe

Vincent,

There's no way to make these automatically show up in the list provided by
the action in the sample editor - currently it's hard-coded to list only the
profiles that are already in the resource set (after ensuring the standard
and Ecore profiles are loaded). I suppose you could contribute your own
action to the editor (or develop your own editor) that looks for deployed
profiles in a "well-known" place (e.g. as part of a registry populated via
an extension point)...

Thanks Kenn, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I looked up into the
source code of editor i'm using (topcased) and saw where standard and
ecore profiles were hardcoded. I have three ways of proceeding :
- hardcode my profile in the same place (fastest for one shot but bad)
- add a lookup into editor preferences to define custom resources to
pre-load (don't have to change my plugin)
- define an extension point and store information from my plugin, then
retrieve it from tocpased.

The extension point seems nice I'll dig into it.
