Hello Yuvraj Nigade,

if you want to add new actions to Jubula please read the Extension Manual located in the "Jubula installation/Documentation/extensionapi" directory. This will show you how to write a fragment and feature, which adds actions for components. Even if the example is for adding a new component, it is also possible to extend an already implemented component.

We have no extension-point to contribute menus or other GUI modification in Jubula - however the ITE is a normal 4.x API based RCP-application so all RCP extension points can also be used for Jubula, e.g. adding new views and so on. We ourself only have extension points for some parts of our functionality which are explicitly designed for extending Jubula. For that you can take Jubula as a target platform for your plugin. Please keep in mind - writing custom extensions agains non-API / EP mechanisms may be highly version dependent as we have no explicit API definition for most of our internal structure.

For additional information and help you might also consider to not implement these custom extensions on your own - see [1] for further information.

Best regards
Marvin Mueller

Hi,

 

We are working on an idea using which we want to extend the functionality of Jubula. Basically we want to add a feature to Jubula. For example - there are unbound actions modules in Jubula (Single click, Menu path, execute external command etc.). We want to add a completely new action there. There may be some additions to Jubula’s menu as well. We are planning to write our own plugin which will leverage the extension points offered by Jubula.

 

I have searched “plugin.xml” files from Jubula codebase for string “extension-point” and  found few extension points which Jubula offers. I am listing those here:

 

1>

org.eclipse.jubula.autagent\plugin.xml

<extension-point id="org.eclipse.jubula.autagent.monitor" name="Jubula Monitoring Agent Definition" schema="schema/org.eclipse.jubula.autagent.monitor.exsd"/>

 

2>

org.eclipse.jubula.client.analyze\plugin.xml

<extension-point id="definition" name="AnalyzeDefinition" schema="schema/definition.exsd"/>

 

3>

org.eclipse.jubula.client.core\plugin.xml

<extension-point id="org.eclipse.jubula.client.core.databaseVersionErrorHandler" name="Database Version Error Handler" schema="schema/org.eclipse.jubula.client.core.databaseVersionErrorHandler.exsd"/>

<extension-point id="org.eclipse.jubula.client.core.functions" name="Jubula Functions" schema="schema/org.eclipse.jubula.client.core.functions.exsd"/>

 

4>

org.eclipse.jubula.client.teststyle\plugin.xml

<extension-point id="definition" name="Checkstyle Definition" schema="schema/define.exsd"/>

 

5>

org.eclipse.jubula.client.ui.rcp\plugin.xml

<extension-point    id="propertyPages"    name="%JubulaPropertyPages"    schema="schema/propertyPages.exsd" />

 

6>

org.eclipse.jubula.toolkit.common\plugin.xml

<extension-point id="toolkitsupport" name="org.eclipse.jubula.toolkit.common" schema="schema/com.bredexsw.guidancer.toolkitsupport.exsd"></extension-point>

<extension-point id="monitoring" name="monitoring" schema="schema/com.bredexsw.guidancer.monitoring.exsd"/>

 

My query is that, if we want to add some features to Jubula  (involves addition to UI and leveraging Jubula’s existing functionality) through a separate plugin, what extension points we should extend in our plugin to make this possible.

 

Please reply with your suggestions. Appreciate the help/guidance you offer. Thank you in advance for that.


P.S. : We are not planning to write any custom UI control extension (for e.g. custom SWT extension) which enables Jubula to recognize custom UI controls.

 

Thanks and Regards.
