Re: [imp-dev] Try out this patch!
|
Hi,
it is best to attach your contributions to bugzilla. This way the project can create a IP log of contributions, and you check a little box when registering on
bugs.eclipse.org that makes it possible for committers to take and copy your code into the Eclipse codebase.
I know that's a bi restriction, but it really is the only way to manage the Eclipse code base on the long term.
Thanks,
Antoine

Hi guys,
This is a patch for imp.runtime which allows IDE developers to add
arbitrary things to:
a) the editor popup menu
b) the [ct]oolbar
c) the status bar
d) the menu bar at the top of the screen
It reuses an Eclipse design mostly, except for the popup menu which is
built on the previous
implementation of ILanguageActionContributor.
The nice thing is that for toolbar,statusbar and menubar the additions
are encapsulated in
a 'subbar', which can be activated and deactivated at leisure. I use
this to hide stuff when
an editor is out of focus, even though all IMP editors have the
UniversalEditor editorid.
Note: this hiding/reappearing stuff does not work for toolbars. It
seems that toolbars
are supposed to be static in Eclipse, as opposed to the menubar and
the status bar.
I've used this feature to make editor additions for ASF+SDF
Meta-Environment on Eclipse,
the status bar now has a dropdown box to select the 'language' for example.
Also, we've made a new extension point which uses the new
ILanguageActionContributor
to generate (nested) menu's from XML descriptions. This also works fine.
In other words, I've tested the code, I like it. Shall I commit it? It
will break all existing
implementations of ILanguageActionContributor which need to be changed to extend
DefaultLanguageActionContributor, after which they will work again,
with a @deprecation warning.
Cheers,
Jurgen
