RE: [platform-team-dev] How do I enable "Open InCompare Editor"on model object?
|
Tom,
The methods on ModelProvider have a
ResourceMappingContent parameter. If the caller is a repository provider,
they will provide a RemoteResourceMappingContent which provides access
to the contents of remote files. If you look at the API, you will see that
it provides access to both the base contents (or common ancestor) and the
remote contents which should be enough for you to do the comparison.
Also, the logical model support is only
applicable in the context of a Synchronization type operation (e.g. update,
commit or synchronzie) where the base and remote states can be determined.
It is not available from the history view since some reposiory providers
(e.g. CVS) can not easily determine the set of file versions that ,make
up a particular configuration.

Hi Michael,
OK, I’ve been able to reshape
the Synchronize view’s tree so that our logical model diffs are being
displayed. Now I’m stuck trying to figure out how to populate the
compare editor. I know the list of local resources that have changed
and I’m given a list of repository changes that are associated. However,
I may need additional files from the repository provider in order to fully
populate my remote model representation. However, don’t think I
can assume a particular version correlation between these dependent files
without applying some sort of labeling strategy. Is this clear? I’ll
try to give a simple example.
Our main model file, we’ll
call it main.a, has associations with subordinate files secondary.b, secondary.c,
and so forth. In order to fully visualize the model, the main.a file
must be read and associated .b, .c and so forth files must be read. However,
a change to a .b or .c file does not necessarily require a change to the
main.a file. Therefore, one can start seeing diverging version numbers
in the repository between these associated files. How, therefore,
can I possibly know how to reconstruct the logical model for, say version
1.4 of main.a if I have no idea which versions of secondary.b, secondary.c,
etc are valid for version 1.4 of main.a? And what mechanism do I
use to facilitate the user in selecting a version of these subordinate
files that they may be interested in?
I have a similar issue with
the history open action functionality as it will need to construct the
logical model in a similar way.
As a possible workaround for
the history open action, is there a way to opt out of utilizing a particular
editor for a file extension in that case? In most cases, we would
like our editor to pop when the main.a file is double clicked. But
in the case of the history open action, maybe we could resort to just utilizing
the built in default editor to avoid the complications of trying to figure
out how to build a valid logical model from the repository resources.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
By 'Compare Editor", do you mean you want to use your own editor part.
If so, the answer is no. What you can do is associate your input with a
content merge viewer by returning your on String type from the ITypedElement#getType()
message and binding your content merge viewer to that type in the plugin.xml
(type = file extension). This will be used by the Compare Edior when the
input is your compare input.

Michael,
Thanks. Second guessing myself and what would be the appropriate
adapted type in the ISynchronizationCompareAdapter factor definition was
the source of the problem. I’m now seeing the context menu item.
I have a follow on question. Is there an easy way to substitute our
own compare editor for the built in compare editor? Our compare editor
handles a mixture of file and directory object types. My understanding
is that the built in compare editor does not handle this.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
You may have already red this but this link dscribes all the steps to implement
logical model support:
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/team_model_model.htm
For your sepcific question, you may want to look at the ISynchronizationCompareAdapter
interface.

Hi all,
I’m working on integrating our logical model with the team stuff and think
it’ll work great for our customers. However, I’m stuck at the 80%
implementation complete point in my integration and hope that someone can
help me out.
Background: We utilize a variety of XML files as the persistence files
for our logical model. We wish to completely abstract the user’s
experience of conflict resolution in that we don’t want the user to ever
have to think about the underlying XML files that make up our model.
Success to this point: I’ve cribbed off the file based Logical Model sample
to get my model to display in Synchronize view. I seemed to need
to use the IPipelinedTreeContentProvider to “reshape” the Synchronize
view content to provide the level of abstraction we are looking for (i.e.
XML files do not appear anywhere in the hierarchy).
Issue: Now that I have my nicely “reshaped” model representation,
how can I enable the “Open In Compare Editor” operation on my logical
model object nodes? It seems like this context menu item is only
available on actual IResource objects. I read that I should adapt
model elements to ResourceMapping to allow resource based operations to
appear on these elements. I believe I’m doing that correctly, but
I still do not get the context menu items I want.
Am I misunderstanding how the logical model integration is supposed to
work or have I likely failed to implement some key piece of code and/or
extension point in the plugin.xml?
I’m not sending off code snippets at this point until I hear back from
someone whether my understanding of the logical model integration is completely
off.
Thanks for your help!
Tom
