Re: [mylyn-integrators] Problems writing a custom context bridge

Hi Shawn,

thanks to your description I managed to get my own content provider in place. However, the provider is initialized with the workspace root object (ContextEditorFormPage line 486: commonViewer.setInput(getSite().getPage().getInput()); I do not see how I can get access to the context information of the task with that input. Therefore I assume that the complete workspace is provided but due to the applied interest filter only the objects that are in the context are visible, is that assumption correct? In that case my idea is damned to fail ;-(

Hi Jan,

It sounds like you are very far along if items are showing up as
invisible.  The context tab of the Task Editor is a common navigator
where you will need to contribute a content provider for you elements
to show up correctly.  If you look in the plugin.xml of o.e.m.java.ui,
you will see the java navigator content provider from JDT added to the
context page.  You will need to create a common navigator content
provider for your elements (see
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fcnf.htm).
  The following is the xml to add the content extension to the context
page and the quick context popup:

<!-- ==================== Context Editing Common Navigator
==================== -->

	<extension
			point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer">
		<viewerContentBinding
			viewerId="org.eclipse.mylyn.context.ui.navigator.context">
			<includes>
				<contentExtension pattern="org.eclipse.jdt.java.ui.javaContent" />	
			</includes>
		</viewerContentBinding>
		<viewerContentBinding
			viewerId="org.eclipse.mylyn.context.ui.navigator.context.quick">
			<includes>
				<contentExtension pattern="org.eclipse.jdt.java.ui.javaContent" />	
			</includes>
		</viewerContentBinding>
	</extension>

Hi,

short about my problem: I want to store my own type of elements in the
context of a task and I started to write my own structure bridge. I got it
work to the point that my elements are added to the context and shown as
"Invisible Elements" in the task editor but no further. All attempts to
correctly return the hierarchy of parent elements and to get them visible in
the view failed. I stumbled over some mylyn base code and also some example
bridge code that seems to assume that the top of such an element hierarchy
is always a IResource, but I'm not sure. Anyway, in my context I don't have
that IResource at the top (or more precisely I don't want to have it there.

What do I do wrong with my bridge when I only get the elements added as
invisible? Any chance to see arbitrary element trees in the context tab on
the task editor?

Any hint highly appreciated.

Jan
