Re: [ve-dev] ve extension tutorials

[Joe Winchester <WINCHEST@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,

For the first tutorial we have actually
been asked to split it into two parts and reformat it for the eclipsecorner
articles section so we're doing that at the moment.  The next two
subjects we were going to tackle are:

1 - A fairly involved example where
the scenario is some classes that aren't widget subclasses but nevertheless
have widgets with the pattern of createControl(Composite) and getControl()
type methods.  This pattern is similar to that found with JFace and
preference pages and the like and would cover things like how to model
containment in EMF, more depth in the use of graphical edit parts and the
target VM proxies and code generation.

2 - An example what shows how to use
the Visual Editor without any Java code generation.  This would show
how to open and persist an XML format and will be based around XSWT which
is a persistent XML format for SWT.

We have started on the first of these
although right now we're aboug 1/2 way through writing the actual plugin
example, after which we'll document it. Does this sound like good topics
for the next two tutorials, or is there anything else you'd like to see
covered ?  As for dates all I know is that they are not comitted M2
items as right now we're still working on reformatting the first tutorial
so it is production ready for the eclipsecorner editors.

One thing we should maybe do is actually
write the example plugins and code for both examples before we document
them - that way people can install the plugins and play with them before
we doc them, as I'm finding out that the actual exercise of creating the
tutorial is almost as much if not more work than writing the example code.

Best regards,

Joe Winchester

Hi,

I've read the tutorial that extends VE for a custom widget. In the tutorial,
it mentions that there will be more tutorials showing how to extend the
target VM subsystem and the codegen subsystem. The first tutorial is very
helpful and I'm very eager to know when the others will be available.

Thanks,
Chaur Wu
