I think it would be helpful for the runtime team to comment on this and
several other extension-points. Specifically, I'm not clear after reviewing
each recently on the value of editorProviders, diagramEventBrokerProvider
(even usable?), and documentProviders, etc.
Perhaps some can be deprecated?
Best,
Rich

Hi Rich,
in case this helps: Right now I'm using the extension points
editpartProviders and parserProviders, and they work just great as far
as I can see.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi everybody,
since nobody of the GMF team answered on my question, and nobody seems
to work with the mentioned extension point, I guess that it's not usable.
I can live with that - hey, it's OS after all, the things I'm using are
working great, and the ones not working will probably work in the
future. But what I really don't like is the fact that nobody of the GMF
team took two minutes to point out what's going on with these extension
points! With that attitude, you are waisting my time for no reason - I
spent one or two hours figuring out why my code is not being called etc.
:-( And I'm not the only one who asked for that!
Btw: I was thinking about contributing some GMF tutorials - this thing
is not going to increase the chance that I'm really doing that.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Well, I am on the GMF team and I replied indicating that this and some other
extension-points are seemingly incomplete, or not the most useful. With
EclipseCon going on this week, I'm sure there are many other things taking
priority for many.
What were you hoping to achieve by using the editorProviders extension-point
anyway?
Best,
Rich

Chris,
I am on the GMF Runtime Team but have not worked with the particular
code in these extension points. I would need to spend time
investigating how these services are called to understand how these
extension points are to be used. Unfortunately, not everything in the
GMF Runtime is well documented, but I guess sometimes this happens when
code is moved into open source.
The GMF Runtime existed before the GMF Code Generator which means that
clients of the GMF Runtime sometimes did things differently then they
are done now. In particular, I believe the ideas behind how a client
would extend a GMF editor differs now if the code generator is being
used. Therefore, it is possible that not all these three extension
points are required anymore by users of the code generator, but they are
still part of the public API of GMF and still being used by other GMF
Runtime clients.
Regards,
Cherie

Hi Richard,
sorry for taking so long to answer...
In fact I wasn't aware that you are part of the GMF team - sorry for
that. Additionally, it was also not a perfect moment for insisting on an
answer...
I'm trying to separate the generated from the custom code as strictly as
possible. Since I do have to make some adjustments to the generated
Editor, I would have liked to come up with my own class (which would
extend the generated Editor), and I would have provided that class using
the mentioned extension point (that's how I did it with a couple of
EditParts, and it seems to work great).
Yours,
Chris

Hi Cherie,
I wasn't aware of these problems, so please accept my excuse for
insisting so much on getting help...
On the other hand: If you (or anybody) would have given this answer e.g.
on thread "How do we use o.e.gmf.r.common.ui.services.editorProviders",
I wouldn't have asked (and complained) any more :-)
Yours,
Chris
