How to create an editor in e4 [message #626451]

Hello,

I'm studying a way to transform an eclipse 3.x plug-in into an (native)
e4 plug-in.

At this point of my study, I have a problem with editors. I haven't
found a wiki or tuto about editors in e4. Thanks to your documentation
and compatibility layer, I was able to integrate 3.x plug-ins into e4.
But nothing about native e4 editors. If I understand correctly, views
and editors are unified in e4 as "Parts".
But how to manage/declare the mapping between file's extensions and a Part ?
How editor inputs are injected into the Part ?
How actions (save, save as, ...) are managed ?

Hi,

In 4.0 we have no story for this and we are just discussing how we want
to bring in this feature to 4.1.

In my SimpleIDE I've been experimenting with an extended
Application-Model which adds an EditorDescriptor.

Save actions are quite simply you simply annotate one of your methods
with @Persists and the frameworks save action will call it (IIRC there's
a method on EPartService which allows to save editors).
