RE: [platform-team-dev] How do I enable"Open InCompare Editor"on model object?
|
Tom,
Comparing a model with what it was like
last Tuesday can be done with CVS by selecting your model element and choosing
Compare With/Another Branch or Version and then entering and selecting
an appropriate Date tag.
I'm not exactly sure what you are asking
in the second question. You can implement a model content provider that
will render your model in the synchronize view and, by indicating that
your model override the Resource model, your model will appear when the
All Models mode is selected. However, if the user explicitly chooses to
see files by selecting the Workspace Model, then that is what they see.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the response. I
was pleased to be able to finally extract file content from the repository.
But is there no means of that you can think of for “linking” particular
file versions within the repository? It would be very nice to offer
the user the ability to determine how their entire model differs from,
say, last Tuesday’s version of the model.
Also, is there a way disable
our persistence files from appearing in the synchronize tree when workspace
view filtering is enabled? We’d like the user to only be able to
access our files via the abstraction our logical model objects provide.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Tom,
The methods on ModelProvider have a ResourceMappingContent parameter. If
the caller is a repository provider, they will provide a RemoteResourceMappingContent
which provides access to the contents of remote files. If you look at the
API, you will see that it provides access to both the base contents (or
common ancestor) and the remote contents which should be enough for you
to do the comparison.
Also, the logical model support is only applicable in the context of a
Synchronization type operation (e.g. update, commit or synchronzie) where
the base and remote states can be determined. It is not available from
the history view since some reposiory providers (e.g. CVS) can not easily
determine the set of file versions that ,make up a particular configuration.

Hi Michael,
OK, I’ve been able to reshape the Synchronize view’s tree so that our
logical model diffs are being displayed. Now I’m stuck trying to
figure out how to populate the compare editor. I know the list of
local resources that have changed and I’m given a list of repository changes
that are associated. However, I may need additional files from the
repository provider in order to fully populate my remote model representation.
However, don’t think I can assume a particular version correlation
between these dependent files without applying some sort of labeling strategy.
Is this clear? I’ll try to give a simple example.
Our main model file, we’ll call it main.a, has associations with subordinate
files secondary.b, secondary.c, and so forth. In order to fully visualize
the model, the main.a file must be read and associated .b, .c and so forth
files must be read. However, a change to a .b or .c file does not
necessarily require a change to the main.a file. Therefore, one can
start seeing diverging version numbers in the repository between these
associated files. How, therefore, can I possibly know how to reconstruct
the logical model for, say version 1.4 of main.a if I have no idea which
versions of secondary.b, secondary.c, etc are valid for version 1.4 of
main.a? And what mechanism do I use to facilitate the user in selecting
a version of these subordinate files that they may be interested in?
I have a similar issue with the history open action functionality as it
will need to construct the logical model in a similar way.
As a possible workaround for the history open action, is there a way to
opt out of utilizing a particular editor for a file extension in that case?
In most cases, we would like our editor to pop when the main.a file
is double clicked. But in the case of the history open action, maybe
we could resort to just utilizing the built in default editor to avoid
the complications of trying to figure out how to build a valid logical
model from the repository resources.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
By 'Compare Editor", do you mean you want to use your own editor part.
If so, the answer is no. What you can do is associate your input with a
content merge viewer by returning your on String type from the ITypedElement#getType()
message and binding your content merge viewer to that type in the plugin.xml
(type = file extension). This will be used by the Compare Edior when the
input is your compare input.

Michael,
Thanks. Second guessing myself and what would be the appropriate
adapted type in the ISynchronizationCompareAdapter factor definition was
the source of the problem. I’m now seeing the context menu item.
I have a follow on question. Is there an easy way to substitute our
own compare editor for the built in compare editor? Our compare editor
handles a mixture of file and directory object types. My understanding
is that the built in compare editor does not handle this.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
You may have already red this but this link dscribes all the steps to implement
logical model support:
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/team_model_model.htm
For your sepcific question, you may want to look at the ISynchronizationCompareAdapter
interface.

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
