Hi all, I'm just starting out with Xtext and had a question about how to build a custom tree in the Outline view. I'm starting with one of the grammars I found in the online Xtext documentation:

grammar org.xtext.example.stateMachine.FSM with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate fSM "[link removed]"

Statemachine :
   'events'
      (events+=Event)+
   'end'
   ('resetEvents'
      (resetEvents+=[Event])+
   'end')?
   'commands'
      (commands+=Command)+
   'end'
   (states+=State)+;
  
 Event :
   (isResetting?='resetting')? name=ID code=ID;
  
 Command :
   name=ID code=ID;
  
 State :
   'state' name=ID
      ('actions' '{' (actions+=[Command])+ '}')?
      (transitions+=Transition)*
   'end';
  
 Transition :
   event=[Event] '=>' state=[State]; 


(Note where it says [link removed] -- that was a namespace I had to remove since the forum rules don't allow me to use a link until I've posted more than 5 messages.)

When I run the MWE2 Workflow run configuration, I end up with a class named FSMOutlineTreeProvider that extends DefaultOutlineTreeProvider. Additionally, I have an EMF object named Statemachine with four getters: getEvents, getResetEvents, getCommands, and getStates.

As a first pass, I want to create a tree that has three "folder" nodes, one each for Events, Commands, and States. The folder nodes would then each have the relevant EMF objects (Events, Commands, States) as children. If I override _createChildren in FSMOutlineTreeProvider like this:

	protected void _createChildren(DocumentRootNode parentNode, Statemachine statemachine) {
		for(Event event : statemachine.getEvents()) {
			createNode(parentNode, event);
		}
		for(Command command : statemachine.getCommands()) {
			createNode(parentNode, command);
		}
		for(State state : statemachine.getStates()) {
			createNode(parentNode, state);
		}
	}


I get an Outline tree with all the Events, Commands, and States listed in a row as sibling nodes. How do I add an intermediate level so that Events are held under a parent node named "Events", etc.?

Thanks,

David

Have a look at
org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.outline.impl.EStructuralFeatureNode

org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.outline.impl.DefaultOutlineTreeProvider.createEStructuralFeatureNode(IOutlineNode,
EObject, EStructuralFeature, Image, Object, boolean)
helbs you create one.

We use it in several of our languages, e.g. MWE2, Xtend2, if you need
examples.

Hi,

I have a similar scenario like as David. I have followed Jan's suggestion of using createEStructuralFeatureNode() method and was able to create node'Events' for events.

The problem is, now the individual events appear directly under the "Statemachine" node as well as under "Events" node which I have created. But I want the individual events to be displayed only under the "Events" node and not under "Statemachine" node.

Could anyone please help me? And let me know where I might have gone wrong.

Thanks,
Latha
