Hello,

i want to enable the user of my DSL right-click in some line and find an option like "good code" or "bad code". As a comment for example.

any help is appreciated. Thanks,
M.

Hi,

what is exactly your problem? you can have a look at DefaultRenameElementHandler as a starting(=copy & paste) point.

Hi thank you for the answer. My problem is i want to have a popupmenu while editing the code of my new language, through which one can click "good" for example, then the comment "//good" would be inserted in the file where the cursor was active.
(i believe i am going the direction of plugin development but as xtext team were to be experienced with that also, i would appreciate any help in PDE also) Very Happy


Regards,
M

So,

here is what you have to do: google about eclipse command api and handlers and how you register them in a context menu.
then there is the task to actually implement the handler.
the code i gave you calls xtextdocument.readonly - you have to call xtextdocument.modify. or (depending on if you comments are implicite only) xtextdocument.replace

If that is all you want to do the user can do things like that using
templates.

thank you Henrik, it turns out that i will have to do plugin development. As a first use case to extend the editor (java text editor) with this popup menu option. I was just tempted by xtext as i was doing a project using this framework. So i knew that you here guys are very very experienced with plugins.

Regards,
M
