Re: [pde-dev] How to add an "extension" to the extension tab in the plu

Sudhir,

do you want to make your extension visible in PDE manifest editor?

Not sure why would you want to do that, but I guess PDE editor builds the extensions tab contents from plug-ins schemas (xsd files), so there's no API for that. Better provide correct schemas. Very stubborn developer could look at PDE editor internals, but it's too hacky. Note that pde editor is not the only place that shows target platform extensions, Plug-in Registry view is the other one.

If you want to add your extension programatically in runtime, then org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.ExtensionRegistry seems to have some methods like addExtensionPoint, addExtension, etc. but I never used them.

Maybe someone could advise something better if you told more what you're trying to achieve.

Hi,

 

How to add an "extension" in the extensions tab to a plugin programmatically?

I used the code

IPluginExtension extension = fModel.getPluginFactory().createExtension();

extension.setId("");
extension.setInTheModel(false);
extension.setName("");
extension.setPoint("com.axway.xtp.test.core.componentClass");

fModel.getPluginBase().add(extension);

but it is not showing up, and in the debug mode its schema is showing as "NULL".

please help.

 

Best Regards,
