Editing in-memory content [message #906075] Fri, 31 August 2012 15:07 Go to next message

Hi everybody,

I am trying to accomplish the following thing: I would like to edit some
content that has been fetched from some remote server using an editor
generated by XText.

So basically I have an object instance that contains the data and that
lives in memory, and I would like to use it as the input of the XText
editor (i.e., the data returned by the object's getter, should be piped
to the editor somehow).

I am reading some older posts, and it seems that Xtext editors are
strongly tied to the resource framework and they need actual files in
projects.

Is there a way for implementing my use-case or I am just wasting time?

Thank you for your help.

-Fabio

Hi,

you can use the embedded editor. have a look at https://github.com/cdietrich/mql for an example usage

Hi Christian,

the EmbeddedEditor works like a charm, though I have an additional
question... When I use a standard XText editor, by clicking with the
second mouse button on the left colum (where errors and warnings are
displayed), I get a menu with a lot of options (among them the "show
line numbers" one)

The EmbeddedEditor doesn't seem to register this popup menu...
My use case was to have line numbers also in the embedded editor.

Do you have a hint about how to achieve that?

Thanks,
Fabio

Hi,

here is a poc.

embeddedEditor = embeddedEditorFactory.newEditor(editedResourceProvider).showErrorAndWarningAnnotations().withParent(sashForm);
		LineNumberRulerColumn lnrc = new LineNumberRulerColumn();
		 embeddedEditor.getViewer().addVerticalRulerColumn(lnrc);


you may have to fix/move stuff to

org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.embedded.EmbeddedEditorFactory.Builder.withParent(Composite)
and call compositeRuler.addDecorator(0, column); or something like that directly there

to change there order of the rulers analogous to the editor.
