Hello EASE-devs,
We are from the Papyrus
team, and we have a great interest in using EASE with one of
the Papyrus components. We particularly appreciate the work
done in the modeling modules.
However, we would like
to add the possibility of executing scripts from a popup
originated on the Model Explorer (a very important part of
the papyrus perspective).
The popup 'enableFor'
semantics allows us to add menus for EObjects, by doing
"enableFor(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject)", but we'd like to
be more specific and check for the effective type of the
selected object e.g. o.e.uml2.uml.Class.
Browsing through the
code we found that we can’t use the _expression_ framework.
As an alternative, we thought we could create a new papyrus
specific scripting keyword extending the existing "popup"
but adapting the selected element as an EObject first and
then checking if it's instance of the class passed as
parameter to the “enableFor”.
Do you think this is the
best solution? or maybe do you have another suggestion?
Now, the thing is the
package "org.eclipse.ease.ui.scripts.keywordhandler" is not
being exported, so in our tests we had to copy paste several
classes to get our PopupHandler working.
Do you think it would be
possible to export the package?
Also if you think that
our code could interest other people, we are really open to
directly contribute to the project, maybe as part of the
modeling module.
Cheers,
Sébastien Revol.
David López.
