Re: [emf-dev] incorporating emf editor into existing RCP

[Ed Merks <merks@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Gabe,

Folks at Intel are working on Eclipse projects and I do seem them posting
answers to newsgroups, such as the TPTP newsgroup, so you it should be
possible for you to access the newsgroups, which is where we'd prefer to
see user's questions.

An RCP application typically doesn't include the workspace and hence can't
depend on anything to do with IFile, so an EMF generated RCP editor's
createModel does this:

  public void createModel()
  {
    URI resourceURI = URI.createURI(getEditorInput().getName());

instead of this:

  public void createModel()
  {
    // Assumes that the input is a file object.
    //
    IFileEditorInput modelFile = (IFileEditorInput)getEditorInput();
    URI resourceURI = URI.createPlatformResourceURI
(modelFile.getFile().getFullPath().toString(), true);

So don't add any code that assumes the editor in put in an IFileEditorInput
if you want that code to run in RCP.

I?m trying to incorporate an editor I generated from my model into an
existing RCP. I can successfully use the editor as a plugin to an Eclipse
SDK run configuration. However, when I try to use it in my RCP I get the
attached error msg.

What I did was followed along with the Library tutorial and generated an
RCP from the model. Then, I looked through the generated code for the
application and added the necessary parts into my RCP app. I added things
like the File menu actions, the openEditor(Workbench, URI) method, etc. I
can browse for my model file and after I click ?OK? on the error message I
see an empty editor window with the correct filename in the title.

I?ve tried to connect to the newsgroup over port 80 but am unable to from
my business network. Please reply with any help.

Thanks, Gabe[attachment "error.JPG" deleted by Ed Merks/Toronto/IBM]
