Re: [mylyn-integrators] Custom Widget

["Dennis Vaughn" <dennis.vaughn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Perfect, thanks.  The create* methods are what I am looking for to add the widgets.  Somehow I missed those.

Thanks,

Dennis

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].
