RE: [ve-dev] AW: ve-dev Digest, Vol 52, Issue 4

Tamas,

With regards to your question : I do not know about wizard extensions, is there any?

I have extended the “org.eclipse.ve.java.core.newStyleComponent” to add my custom Category, and Items. Here is the snippet from my plugin.xml

<extension

point="org.eclipse.ve.java.core.newStyleComponent">

<category

defaultExpand="true"

id="com.sbsa.coe.plugin.category"

name="COE"

priority="200">

</category>

<visualElement

category="com.sbsa.coe.plugin.category"

contributor="com.sbsa.coe.plugin.codegen.wizards.contributors.COEBCFrameSourceContributor"

icon="icons/containers/frame.gif"

name="BCFrame"

type="com.sbsa.csf.core.BCFrame">

</visualElement>

<visualElement

category="com.sbsa.coe.plugin.category"

contributor="com.sbsa.coe.plugin.codegen.wizards.contributors.COEBCPanelSourceContributor"

icon="icons/containers/panel.gif"

name="BCPanel"

type="com.sbsa.csf.core.BCPanel">

</visualElement>

</extension>

I have also Contributed to the Visual Editor Preferences Page : Here is the snippet from my plugin.xml

<extension

point="org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages">

<page

category="org.eclipse.ve.internal.java.vce.VCEPreferencePage"

class="com.sbsa.coe.plugin.preferences.COEPreferencePage"

id="com.sbsa.coe.plugin.preferences.COEPreferencePage"

name="COE">

</page>

</extension>

<extension

point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences">

<initializer

class="com.sbsa.coe.plugin.preferences.PreferenceInitializer">

</initializer>

</extension>

I have, for the sake of completeness included the classes and resources I used to achieve this as an attachment.

In addition to that I have added the ClassPath Library.

I also added a Drawer with custom components as per your previous guidelines (Thanks for that).

All in all it seems that VE is HIGHLY extensible!

Kind Regards

Hello,

some descriptions, and documents you find on the VE page (VE wiki, ULC document, and so on).

1. Ensure the VE works fine with all other plug-ins for my customer's environment on Galileo.

2. To enable the extension of the VE Wizards to allow the addition of "New Visual Class à In-House-Frame and In-House-Panel" instead changing the extends clause after adding a normal Swing JFrame.

I do not know about wizard extensions, is there any?

3. Add custom Extensions to the VE to allow for our in-house > components on the palette.

It should work fine using some override files.

Consider following extension point:

<contributor

class="ch.ivyteam.yourpackage.visualeditor.YourRichDialogVisualEditorContributor"

container="IVY_CONTAINER"/>

<palette

container="IVY_CONTAINER"

loc="first"

categories="palette/yourWidgetsToPalette.xmi"

plugin="ch.your.plugin.id"/>

</extension>

And use following format for your yourWidgetsToPalette.xmi:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" xmlns:org.eclipse.ve.internal.cde.palette="http:///org/eclipse/ve/internal/cde/palette.ecore" xmlns:org.eclipse.ve.internal.cde.utility="http:///org/eclipse/ve/internal/cde/utility.ecore">

<org.eclipse.ve.internal.cde.palette:Drawer>

</children>

</org.eclipse.ve.internal.cde.palette:Drawer>

</xmi:XMI>

I was also wondering if I can get some guidelines somewhere on the web as to how to start-up such a checked out project.

no idea.

Already it seems there are some deprecated methods which cause errors.

Time did not permit me to carry on.

Shall do so soon.

I wish you good luck!

Best regards

Tamas
