Item checklist based on EMF [message #896959]

Hello experts,

now I have the EMF metamodel (.ecore file) and also some test xml files which were created through this EMF model. I want to find some method that can transform this EMF model to GUI. When I load the XML file through this GUI, I can get a checklist which lists the whole content of this XML file. Further I can use this checklist to filter the content I want.

I have looked into the RCP and RAP. But I think those are not what I need, am I right? And Wazzabi, I have also studied on it. It seems to be the way to transform the EMF into the User Interface. But I have some trouble with importing the project sets. Could anybody give some advice, how I can go further? To fix the trouble with wazaabi or there is another way to realize my purpose?

Best Regards

The best I can suggest is you generate the editor for your model (as
described in the tutorials), look at how the existing views work, and
derive something else from that basis.

Hi ED,

thank you for your advice. I just looked at the editor. But it mostly seems to create the xml file not filter. Is there any simple example for loading and filtering a xml file? Until now I didn't find any.

Maybe the fact that a TreeViewer is a StructuredViewer which as an
addFilter method will help.

Hi ED,

The TreeViewer really looks like what I want. I will try on it first. Thank you!

Hi Ed,

thank you for your help. I just want to give you some feedback. There is some trick in .Edit Provider. What I did was just to create two class in the edit project "ContentProvider" and "LabelProvider" which can be combined to JFace TreeViewer.
