RE: [pde-ui-dev] Regarding Multi Page Editor
Hi!
 
Can you please continue this discussion on the Eclipse newsgroups? This list is for discussion about development OF the PDE UI.
 
Technical questions and discussions about using eclipse and eclipse-based tools, and developing plug-in tools should be posted to the newsgroups. Mailing lists at eclipse.org are intended for use by developers actually working on or otherwise contributing to day-to-day development. The development mailing lists are the way design and implementation issues are discussed and decisions voted on by the committers.
 
 
BTW, you should use IFile#getContents if you want the content of the file. When working with resource within Eclipse it's a MUST to prefere the IResource API instead of java.io.File. Otherwise you might get into a lot out-of-synch issues/messages.
 
Regards,
Gunnar Wagenknecht

Hi Norbert,

Thanks a lot for providing this logical approach. I will try to implement it.

Alex has already provided sample code to resolute the problem which I was facing and it did work out for me. J

His lines are as follows

In the editor you should have the FileEditorInput.

fileEditorInput.getFile().getLocation().toOSString() should return the file path of the input file.

 

Thanks a lot

Real tricky.

The part I already came across is this: If you have an eclipse-internal path in the form of an URL (java.net.URL) you can use org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.resolve() to convert it to an URL which contains an absolute path  in your filesystem. So the trick is to get the URL from your editor.

 

Now if you editor implements org.eclipse.ui.IFileEditorInput then you can call getFile() to get an org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile object

which in turn has a getFullPath() method returning a org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPath object.

IPath.toString() gives you a String representation from which you can construct the URL.

 

Does that help?

 

 

 

Norbert

Yes that’s precisely what my requirement is. I want to know the exact file path on which the

Editor is invoked. J

 

Thanks

Hi Partha,

 

a point I am puzzled about is this: What do you do to "get the absolute path"? Do you have something like an editor or file object and call a method?

Betreff: RE: [pde-ui-dev] Regarding Multi Page Editor

Hi All,

I am facing a bit tricky issue and the problem statement goes like this.

I developed a multi-page editor plug-in based on Eclipse 3.0 and by selecting

A file with extension of “WSDD” it supposed to be invoked.

 

The editor is invoking as expected when user selects a file with that particular extension,

But when I am trying to get the absolute path of that selected file I am getting some

Different path and not the exact path.

Even I just want to know the project under which that file is in.

How to locate these?

 

For example I have a project named “Sample project” present in my

System’s file system at “D:\ Sample project”.

A file is there named “test.wsdd” under that project.

My eclipse path is “E:\eclipse-sdk\eclipse”

 

Whenever I am trying to locate the absolute path of the file when user selects

The particular “server-config.wsdd” it’s trying to locate under

“E:\eclipse-sdk\eclipse”, but which is not the exact path of the file.

 

So how to get rid of the issue?

Thanks and Regards

Hi Sumit,

 

I'm not sure why you need to add any dependencies at all actually.  Is

there a problem compiling if you only put Plugin Y in the java

buildpath of Plugin X and not make either dependent on the other?

 

On another note, the newsgroups are the best places for questions on

using Eclipse.  Definitely try the newsgroups next time; they're nice

and helpful people too :)
