Re: [eclipse-dev] Question about links in an editor

[Darin Swanson <Darin_Swanson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Please in the future do not use this
general mailing list for these types of questions.
In Eclipse land the newsgroups (eclipse.platform)
would be the appropriate forum.

Assume working in recent 3.1:
Your org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.TextSourceViewerConfiguration
for your editor will need to override the getHyperLinkDetectors(ISourceViewer)
and return your custom IHyperlinkDetector which will provide your implementation
of IHyperlink.

You can use the AntEditor and the AntEditorSourceViewerConfiguration
as your reference.

Again to continue this discussion post
in the eclipse.platform newsgroup in news.eclipse.org

Subject	[eclipse-dev] Question about links in an editor

I'm creating an editor plug-in for Torque-Script (scripting language for
a 3D engine), I've got all the basics down syntax highlighting, indention,
auto-completion, etc... but i can't seem to figure out how to make some
of the text in the editor links.  IE: CTRL+CLICK a piece of text to
open another file in the project.  For example:

Exec("scripts/canvas.cs");   

I want to make it open scripts/canvas.cs from the project.  I've got
an implementation of ITextHover that parses out the text between the quotes..
but i don't know how to make the text in the editor turn into a link and
be click-able.  Can anyone suggest a HOWTO/Example, or perhaps point
me in the direction of an interface that i must implement?
