RE: [birt-report-designer-dev] default dataset editor

[Joseph Thie <jthie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Linda, thanks for the response.  

I was investigating a way where the
the first page would be an extension of my UI plugin, and the subsequent
pages would be dynamically loaded.  Basically, the user's input on
the first page would determine the pages that were to follow it.  I
had a prototype working for the wizard, but the editor would only display
the first page (the one listed as an extension).  There were some
other issues as well (for example, tricking out the wizard's next and finish
buttons) that I hadn't resolved, so this approach was beginning to look
less and less of a good idea.

I have ways of doing everything in a
single UI page, so I'm not dependant on getting the above functionality
to work. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious
before pursuing a different path.

Joe,

The short answer is no.  
The wizard and editor page classes that you see in the oda package are
base classes for an ODA extender.  The BIRT DataSetEditor is part
of BIRT that provides a host dialog for consuming the custom UI pages that
an oda.design.ui extension would provide.  
The BIRT DataSetEditor also adapts an oda.design model to/from the BIRT
ROM data model, and save as part of a report design.  So it is rather
BIRT host-specific.

What type of functionalities do you want different in your own version
of data set editor?  

Linda

Is there a way in version 2.1.2 to specify your own dataset editor rather
than using the default? 

In the org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.design.ui.wizards package,
I 
see the DataSetWizard and DataSetWizardPage classes.  I have my own
versions of both.  However, for the editor I only see DataSetEditorPage
(and not DataSetEditor).
