[dsdp-tm-dev] Re: programmatic creation of dynamic filters in Remote Sys

[Martin Oberhuber <martin.oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Vrushali,

1. For expanding nodes in the remote systems view and setting
   a selection: We have an open bug for this,
      https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=176461
   which requests API to perform exactly that by means of
   an event.

   While this has not yet been implemented, you can look at
   how existing code does it, in
      SystemSelectRemoteFileOrFolderForm#setPreSelection()
   or as part of the "Link with Editor" action that was
   introduced with the fix for bug
      https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=187711
      LinkWithSystemViewAction.run()

2. Dynamic Filter Creation
   I do not understand your question. Perhaps it helps to look
   at all the implementations of
      SubSystemConfiguration#createDefaultFilterPool()
   that's the hook method where custom subsystems are expected
   to create their default filters.

Cheers,
