| [platform-team-dev] How do I enable "Open In Compare Editor" on model object? |
|
Hi all, I’m working on integrating our logical model with the
team stuff and think it’ll work great for our customers. However,
I’m stuck at the 80% implementation complete point in my integration and
hope that someone can help me out. Background: We utilize a variety of XML files as the
persistence files for our logical model. We wish to completely abstract
the user’s experience of conflict resolution in that we don’t want
the user to ever have to think about the underlying XML files that make up our
model. Success to this point: I’ve cribbed off the file based
Logical Model sample to get my model to display in Synchronize view.
I seemed to need to use the IPipelinedTreeContentProvider to
“reshape” the Synchronize view content to provide the level of
abstraction we are looking for (i.e. XML files do not appear anywhere in the
hierarchy). Issue: Now that I have my nicely
“reshaped” model representation, how can I enable the “Open
In Compare Editor” operation on my logical model object nodes? It
seems like this context menu item is only available on actual IResource
objects. I read that I should adapt model elements to ResourceMapping to
allow resource based operations to appear on these elements. I believe
I’m doing that correctly, but I still do not get the context menu items I
want. Am I misunderstanding how the logical model integration is
supposed to work or have I likely failed to implement some key piece of code
and/or extension point in the plugin.xml? I’m not sending off code snippets at this point until
I hear back from someone whether my understanding of the logical model
integration is completely off. Thanks for your help! Tom |
