RE: [mylyn-integrators] How to include Properties View action in Task Context

Sounds quite interesting.  We’ve haven’t seen as much activity in graphical/modeling editors extensions, so it would be great if you could capture some of your experiences by adding a section on adding focus to GMF editors to: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn/Integrator_Reference

 

Regarding capturing interaction with a properties view, if I understand you correctly, there are two approaches to this.  The first, and what I think would be better, is to have your extensions to the properties view issue structured selections via the Workbench selection service, just as editors do.  This will be nice and consistent since the corresponding element would both become interesting and get selected in a any navigator views that it appears in.  The other approach is to manually cause the corresponding interaction events to get issued.  To figure out how to do that take a look at AbstractUserInteractionMonitor and it’s subclasses.

Subject: [mylyn-integrators] How to include Properties View action in Task Context

 

I am working on creating a bridge for GMF based editor. I have implemented a UIBridge and StructureBridge that recognizes my diagram type and  stores node selection on  GMF canvas in Task context. What I want now is that when user selects properties view and change certain property that action also gets store in the active Task context.


Can you give me any input as to what needs to be done to achieve this.
