Hello,
I would like to write a plugin modifying the behavior of the default text editor. The code that I need to change is located in org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText, so the idea would be to create a copy of this class and to instantiate it in in org.eclipse.jface.text.TextViewer instead of the StyledText:
protected CustomStyledText createTextWidget(Composite parent, int styles) {
CustomStyledText styledText= new CustomStyledText(parent, styles);
styledText.setLeftMargin(Math.max(styledText.getLeftMargin(), 2));
return styledText;
}
It seems that the best way to modify TextViewer is to make my own version of the org.eclipse.jface plugin and to release it wrapped into a feature project.
But adding a class to swt package seems hard, first because there is different jars depending on the operating system used (org.eclipse.swt.cocoa, org.eclipse.swt.gtk ....) and also because copy pasting the code of StyledText is not that easy since there is call to external methods waiting for a strict StyledText.
Any ideas ?
