Hi all!

I have (very) recently started to play with the e4 applications but I am stuck with the editors.

To open an editor, as suggested in the vogella.com articles, you should use the getViewSite() method if you are in a view, but in my application it is always null.

To recreate this scenario, you can create an application using the "Eclipse 4 Application Project" wizard and add a simple view to the project.

As far as I guess, this happens because the init() method is never or badly called. What am I missing? Should I explicitly call the init() method somewhere?

Thanks in advance, Daniele

Pure e4 does NOT support editors! You need to run with the compat layer.
I plan to work on pure e4 editors in autumn.

Hello Tom,

There are plain text editor and xml editor in simpleIDE. I thought they are pure e4 editors...

Best regards,
Johnny

Right simple-IDE has our first explorations on how implement native e4
editors. I expect to start work on this in about 1-2 months so that
native editor support is available in 4.3.
