New Project Wizard without use XtextNewProjectWizard ? [message #903014] Tue, 21 August 2012 16:07 Go to next message

Hi,

I could note that Xtext has a fragment that creates the new project wizard for your DSL and it uses a XtextNewProjectWizard class.

My problems:
1) I have more than one DSL that could be created inside the project that will be created by the wizard. so I must create the wizard in a common UI project.

2) XtextNewProjectWizard uses guice injection that I don't have in the common UI project.

I think I have two alternatives:
1) include guice support in common UI project and use XtextNewProjectWizard;
2) create a newProjectWizard using JDT's JavaProjectWizard.

I'm inclined to use option 2. So my question is: what must be set in a java project to it be xtext compatible for all my dsls? it needs only xtext nature and builder ?

thanks for any hint.

Cristiano

Hi,

what about (3)
create an acticator in the commmon project that provides an injector (similar to the stuff that is done in the ui project)
that offers the required bindings through a module.

then create an executableextensionfactory that uses this injects and use it in the plugin.xml

for (2) Xtext Nature + Builder should be fine.

Hi Christian,

well, that was what I mean about add support to guice Wink

but even with providing my own injector for the common UI, I think I can't use the XtextNewProjectWizard, right ? At least I noted that it creates an instance file of current DSL and open it in the editor. Or its something that I can remove from it ?

btw, do you think it is necessary to have dependencies from Common Ui project to other DSL projects ? or should I change the DSLs UI project to create it injectors as child injector from the Common UI?

regards,

Cristiano

Ok, I will look into deeper that.

but there are a bug in my head. I couldn't understand how to deal with common injector, yet.

Each DSL has its own, right?

It is necessary anyhow to relate the DLS's injectors with the Common UI one that I will create?

I used a variant of 2) on my project.

- You need a plugin project, not a java project (I couldn't get xtext to work happily in a standard java project)

- You do need to add the xtext nature of course (org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.xtextNature)

- I used the IBundleProjectService to do a lot of the work behind the scenes (it creates plugin projects). Even with this you still need to add the java and plugin natures as well (IBundleProjectDescription.PLUGIN_NATURE & JavaCore.NATURE_ID)

- If you make use of xbase you need to add a plugin dependency for plugin org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib

- For the wizard, I simply extend Wizard and implement INewWizard. Page one derives from WizardNewProjectCreationPage. (this does not give you places to specify src/bin directories or other particulars but I am simply setting up reasonable defaults as part of my creation process - may update the UI for this later if users care to customize)

Well, after have lost many many hours with some annoying ArrayStoreException I could make it work.

The errors gone after I have removed all import packages for Guice and Xtext stuffs and added Required Bundle instead... Sad

That are the classes that I needed to create:

UiCommonModule:
public class UiCommonModule extends AbstractGenericModule {

	private final AbstractUIPlugin plugin;

	public UiCommonModule(AbstractUIPlugin plugin) {
		this.plugin = plugin;
	}

	@Override
	public void configure(Binder binder) {
		super.configure(binder);
		binder.bind(AbstractUIPlugin.class).toInstance(plugin);
		binder.bind(IDialogSettings.class).toInstance(plugin.getDialogSettings());
	}
	
	public Class<? extends IProjectCreator> bindIProjectCreator() {
		return CommonProjectCreator.class;
	}

	public java.lang.ClassLoader bindClassLoaderToInstance() {
		return getClass().getClassLoader();
	}


	public Class<? extends IImageHelper> bindIImageHelper() {
		return PluginImageHelper.class;
	}
	
	public void configureFileExtensions(Binder binder) {
		
		binder.bind(String.class).annotatedWith(Names.named(Constants.FILE_EXTENSIONS)).toInstance("any");
	}
}


an ProjectWizard based on XtextNewProjectWizard:
public class NewProjectWizard extends XtextNewProjectWizard implements
		INewWizard {

	private WizardNewProjectCreationPage mainPage;

	@Inject
	public NewProjectWizard(IProjectCreator projectCreator) {
		super(projectCreator);
		setWindowTitle("New Project");
	}

	public void addPages() {
		mainPage = new WizardNewProjectCreationPage("basicNewProjectPage");
		mainPage.setTitle("My Project");
		addPage(mainPage);
	}

	@Override
	protected IProjectInfo getProjectInfo() {
		MainProjectInfo projectInfo = new MainProjectInfo();
		projectInfo.setProjectName(mainPage.getProjectName());
		return projectInfo;
	}
}


a ProjectInfo:

public class MainProjectInfo extends DefaultProjectInfo {

	public MainProjectInfo() {

	}
}


I need to create a custom CommonProjectCreator extending AbstractPluginProjectCreator and a custom ProjectFactory provider, that way the project created is a plugin one and with my own files.

now is everything ok...

cheers,

Cristiano
