Re: [platform-dev] Generic Text Editor for pure E4

Hi Stefan,

I'm not saying that this is impossible. It is not easy - but we can gain a lot from this. Currently the E4 story is broken on the IDE boundary - any attempt to introduce the IDE functionality returns you back to E3.
The Generic Text Editor may be a good starting point: it has a lot of services to interact with and it will be natural to utilize OSGi services and E4 approach.
The porting it with all the hierarchy may be a huge task - so I suggest to build its alternative in another bundle that will show us what kind of common services we need to implement the E4 Editors.

WDYT?

Regards,
AF

Hi,

What do you mean by "core"? It is full of E3. We need to start from detaching (altering) AbstractTextEditor from EditorPart
I think it is much cheaper to start new "org.eclipse.e4.ui.editors" bundle than trying to remove E3 dependencies from the Generic Text Editor.

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to integrate the Generic Text Editor into a pure E4 (SWT) RCP. I looked at the code and it seems to me that the core of the Generic Text Editor is not dependent on E3.

Does anyone know of a previous effort to remove E3 dependencies / integrate the editor into a pure E4 RCP? Any pointer to an existing integration solution, branch prototype, recipe etc. would be helpful.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Stefan
