Extending JDT to support visualization of protected code regions [message #653363]

Hey all,

I need some guidance to extend the Java Editor of JDT. The goal is an editor that visualizes manual and generated code. Ideally, generated code should not be editable.

So far, I have looked at some extension points of JDT.

http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. jdt.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/index.html.

But to be honest I am confused which extension point is the right one. For example, the extension point org.eclipse.jdt.core.codeFormatter is deprecated for some reason.

Could I use another extension point or do I have to grab the JDT.UI sources and adapt them accordingly?

I am thankful for any guidance!

Thanks.

There is no extension point or API that would allow to lock regions of
code. What you can do is add (text) annotations for those regions and
then choose how they are visualized in the editor. See
'org.eclipse.ui.editors.annotationTypes' and
'org.eclipse.ui.editors.markerAnnotationSpecification' extension point.
