Re: [platform-ant-dev] The mysteries of PlantyContentOutlinePage.fixTagL

[Darin Swanson <Darin_Swanson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are two bug reports that we are attempting to fix:
XMLElements from external entities have incorrect selection in AntEditor
        http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=30836
PlantyException on opening ant script
        http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=31439

I was working on 30836.

My questions:
        how did you come up with the fixes that occur in the fixTagLocations method?

        the code in fixTagLocations seems to preclude it working for external entities (specifically the assumption that all elements begin with '<')
        We have added elements to represent external entities (for example "&common;"), and the fixing that occurs for the tag locations is incorrect.

Thanks in advance
Darins

Unless somebody else created it after contribution (I doubt that ;-),
the code is the only documentation.

I tried to add some comments on that issue in the code. Though I might give
you some more infos on that if you tell me more about what you don't
understand.
