Customize import dialog [message #1404027]

Hi,

is it possible to customize the "Import" dialog of a process? (See Properties View when Process is selected -> Definitions -> Import List) I'd like to define imports of a custom type. It would be good to be able to edit the fields "Namespace Prefix", "Location", etc. directly. Using the default implementation I can only import XSD, WSDL, BPMN2 and Java files.

Kind regards,

Stefan

PS: I'm using the nightly build of the Juno release of the modeler with Eclipse 3.8. Can't upgrade to newer version right now.

Hi Stefan,

Yes it is. Have a look at the org.eclipse.bpmn2.modeler.wsil plugin which contributes a <importDialog> to the "org.eclipse.bpmn2.modeler.ui" extension point. Let me know if you have any questions on how to implement this.

Cheers,
Bob

That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks a lot!

One more question:

I managed to create and display a custom dialog and return a "custom" result by implementing "org.eclipse.bpmn2.Definitions". But unfortunately I can't influence the namespace prefix and the import type. Is there some way to set those two attributes as well?

Hi Stefan,

The Import object is added to the "Import List" in DefinitionsPropertyComposite. If you need to set your own namespace prefix and import type, you'll have to provide your own <propertyTab> extension and then handle the addListItem(EObject object, EStructuralFeature feature) in your own DefinitionsPropertyComposite. Sorry about this - I didn't foresee this usecase when I wrote the initial API for this feature.

Let me know if you need help with this.
