[wtp-dev] Re: extending the XML editor
|
Doesn't look like there is an extension point for this, so I decided to look at the source.
I found the code in CVS for the version I have in my current Eclipse setup (org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui_1.1.1.v200908242115), so I checked out that version from CVS but it doesn't compile.
The MANIFEST.MF has no problems, but the plugin.xml complains about some missing IDs. The rest of the problems (3000+) are Java compilation errors for things like missing SWT widgets.
I checked my target platform and it is set to 'Running Platform' - so I would expect it to be able to find everything it needs to compile since the MANIFEST.MF has no problems, right?
I'm running on Mac OS 10.6, with Eclipse:
Version: 3.5.1
Build id: M20090917-0800
My plan was to see if I could add an extension point and then contribute the patch.
Any ideas how to get this compiling?
At this stage I might fall back on the XML editor in the plugin wizard, but I really wanted the WST XML Editor functionality since it is extremely rich in comparison to the plugin template XML editor.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Chris

OK, I found the documentation on creating my own content types here:
So any thoughts about adding a new page to the XML editor?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Having Googled the web and mail archives I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction of some documentation or articles on how to extend the XML editor.
I can see that the editor has two pages, Design and Source. I'd like to add a third page which renders the XML in a particular way (for those who are interested, in order to render an Apache Pivot layout).
Also, is it possible to have my plug-in programatically add the extension to the list of those that the XML editor can handle?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Chris
