Re: [mylyn-integrators] Custom Widget

[Robert Elves <rob.elves@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dennis,

Regarding a custom widget, do you mean placing custom widgets into 
existing connector editors? If so this is currently not supported. The 
only means of extending existing editors is via a contribution to the 
popup menu. We would also like to allow contributions to the toolbar but 
that is not supported yet.

To add custom widgets/functionality to a new connector editor you will 
need to override methods on AbstractRepositotyTaskEditor. Most of the 
methods of interest are the create* methods. For example, to create your 
own customized attributes section, simply override the 
createAttributeLayout() methods and place your custom widgets on the 
provided composite.

Improvements to the editor are ongoing and a major review is planned as 
part of [1].
