Hi,

When i am modeling a diagram, my outline view stays blank. The object are there though, because if i select a node in my diagram, something is selected in the outline view. (see attachment, it will become clear).

so: How can i display the names of my objects in the outline view?

Hi Simon,

I would suggest to use EcoreTool's DiagramOutlinePage, which in my opinion follows a more straightforward approach of a FilteredTree-component to display the model.
See the plugin org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.diagram.outline in EcoreTools.
It is very easy to adapt to your DiagramEditor.

Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I would very much like to try this out, though since i'm an eclipse amateur, i don't know how to use this EcoreTools outline in a runtime editor. I already use it when making an ecore diagram model and find it very useful.
I can see in the Plug-in Development screen that the org.eclipse.ecoretools.diagram.ui.outline is installed, but how do use this ecore tools outline when i'm modeling in my generated diagram?

Regards, and any help would be much appreciated!
Simon

Hi Simon,

the adaption is pretty straightforward.

1. Add the dependency of the diagram.ui.outline plugin to your generated diagram-plugin.
2. In your generated XXXDiagramEditor, modify the method:
public Object getAdapter(Class type){
  ...
  if(type == IContentOutlinePage.class)
    return new XXXDiagramOutlinePage(...);
}


Make the new XXXDiagramOutlinePage extend AbstractDiagramOutlinePage and implement the abstract mehtods, it requires.
For that, create a second class XXXModelNavigator that extends AbstractModelNavigator.

You can take a look at the code of org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.diagram, which provides an implementation of the outline-view above for the ecore-editor.

Regards
Thomas
