Re: [ptp-dev] Question about AbstractRemoteResourceManagerConfigurationW

I don't think I need an extension point to do this.  I have a class, 
PEResourceManagerConfigurationWizardPageFactory which is a clone of 
ORTEResourceManagerConfigurationWizardPageFactory. There's a getPages() 
method in this class which returns an array of RMConfigurationWizardPage 
objects. If I change the implementation of this method to create an array 
with two objects, the first being an instance of 
PEResourceManagerConfigurationWizardPage and the second my new wizard page 
class, then when I go thru the wizard, I see the two pages in order. I've 
started coding my second wizard page and it so far it looks like this 
works. There's code somewhere in  a superclass that seems to iterate thru 
this array displaying pages in the proper order.

If this is a reasonable way to implement this, then I don't think I need 
any modifications to other PTP code.

Re: [ptp-dev] Question about 
AbstractRemoteResourceManagerConfigurationWizardPage.createContents






Dave,

So to get this straight, the idea would be to provide an extension 
point that would let you specify your own page. The page display 
order would be:

Choose RM Type -> Proxy Configuration -> RM specific page (if 
present) -> RM Name & Description

Does that sound ok?
