Hi Michael,
Thanks for the response. I was pleased to
be able to finally extract file content from the repository. But is there no
means of that you can think of for “linking” particular file versions within
the repository? It would be very nice to offer the user the ability to
determine how their entire model differs from, say, last Tuesday’s version of
the model.
Also, is there a way disable our
persistence files from appearing in the synchronize tree when workspace view
filtering is enabled? We’d like the user to only be able to access our files
via the abstraction our logical model objects provide.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

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.

[platform-team-dev] How do I enable "Open In
Compare Editor" on model object?
|

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
