MVC pattern Plugin approach [message #305119]

Hi

I have a editor plugin that uses a datastructure and I want to be able to
access that datastructure in another view plugin. How do I access that data
structure in the editor plugin from another plugin ? Can anyone give me an
insight into the plugin interactions. Do I use selectionListener or
something similar ?

Thanks, Dave

I would first suggest reading this article:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecllink/ind ex.html

It demonstrates at least three different approaches to answering your
question of linking the editor and the view. I think it kind of
glosses over the IAdaptable stuff, and when I was first getting into
that was really confusing.

For instance in the rcpnews application the plug-in activator class
registers several of the classes from the data model with the
platform:
public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
super.start(context);
Platform.getAdapterManager().registerAdapters(new
RCPNewsUIAdapterFactory(), IFeedStore.class);
Platform.getAdapterManager().registerAdapters(new
RCPNewsUIAdapterFactory(), IFeed.class);
Platform.getAdapterManager().registerAdapters(new
RCPNewsUIAdapterFactory(), IFeedEntry.class);
}

Then the RCPNewsUIAdapterFactory class can adapt the model objects as
needed based on what class is asking for an adaptation of your model
class.
