Re: [e4-dev] How to use E4 DI with Wizard,Dialog and FormEditor?

[Angelo zerr <angelo.zerr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lars,

Many thank's for your answer. I have seen that (because I'm reading your famous book, very great:))

My question is how to manage editor with E4 like FormEditor which is used too for PDE editor, WTP Server editor etc : 

1) Use directly FormEditor (and extend it to have DIFormEdtor). The advatnage with that is that I can use FormEditor code but it extends of deprecated EditorPart. I suppose that 3.x EditorPart will be removed in the future?
2) Create from scratch an abstract class E4FormEdtor (a pojo) wich use e4 annotations (@Focus, etc) and creates CTAbFolder, creates a FormToolkit, etc like FormEditor.

Many thank's for your help.

Hi Angelo,

if you create your Dialogs and Wizard instances yourself you could use

// Create instance of class
ContextInjectionFactory.make(MyDialogClass.class, context);

See here for a short description:
