[cdt-dev] Accessing CommonNavigator for CDT projects

[bala.torati@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

I would like to get all the CDT Projects
(Tree) from workspace. I could access this through CView using the following
code. 

       
        IWorkbenchPage page = CUIPlugin.getActivePage();
       
        if (page != null) {
       
               
IWorkbenchPart part = page.showView(CUIPlugin.CVIEW_ID);
       
               

       
               
if (part instanceof CView) {
       
               
        CView cview = (CView) part;
       
               
        TreeItem[] items = cview.getViewer.getTree().getItems();
       
               
        for (int i = 0; i < items.length;
i++) {
       
               
               
//Do something
       
               
        }
       
               
}
       
        }

However CView is part of CDT UI internal
classes. So I am thinking of accessing the projects tree thrugh public
API. I understood that Bug
140337 implements the CDT
content extensions for the Project Explorer based on the Common Navigator
Framework.
I think I can use the common navigator
API to access the projects tree. So can somebody help me in accessing the
CDT project explorer or common navigator through public API.

I have tried the following piece of
code to access Common Navigator instead of the above code. But the partView
always returning an instance of CView instead of CommonNavigator. So again
I am having same problem of accessing internal CDT classes.

       
               
IWorkbenchWindow ww= PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
       
               
if (ww != null) {
       
               
        IWorkbenchPage activePage =
ww.getActivePage();
       
               
        if (activePage != null) {
       
               
               
IWorkbenchPartReference partRef = activePage.getActivePartReference();
       
               
               
if (partRef != null) {
       
               
               
        IWorkbenchPart part= partRef.getPart(false);
       
               
               
        if (part instanceof CommonNavigator)
{  <==== part always
returns an instance of CView in the above case
       
               
               
               
//use CN to access the projects tree.
       
               
               
        }
       
               
               
}
       
               
        }
       
               
}


Please let me know, if there is another
way of accessing CommonNavigator(CN) for CDT extensions. Or a better of
getting the project tree (not through CN).

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
