Re: [wtp-jsf-dev] JSF Tools Project: Design discussion meeting

[Amy Wu <amywu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In this discussion, we discussed hooking
into an existing extensible content assist mechanism that is currently
provisional/experimental.  Here is more information about it:

To utilize the provisional extensible
content assistant, you would need to add something like the following to
your plugin.xml
        <extension
point="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration">
         
      <provisionalConfiguration
         
              type="contentassistprocessor"
         
              class="Class
that implements IContentAssistProcessor"
         
              target="Partition
type associated with processor like org.eclipse.jst.jsp.SCRIPT.JSP_EL2"
/>
        </extension>


Code details if curious:
If you are curious to see what is happening
under the covers, the code that handles the bulk of associating the IContentAssistProcessor
to the partition type is in: org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.internal.contentassist.StructuredContentAssistant.
All this provisionalConfiguration does
is add an additional partition type to contentassistprocessor mapping to
the StructuredContentAssistant (which is the content assistant used by
all StructuredTextEditors - See StructuredTextViewerConfiguration#getContentAssistant)
 Then when IContentAssistant#getContentAssistProcessor is called,
a "compound content assist processor" is called.  This "compound
content assist processor" basically contains all the content assist
processors associated with the current partition type.  This "compound
content assist processor" allows the ability to associate more then
1 content assist processor to a partition type.  This "compound
content assist processor" will basically get the proposals from all
of its content assist processors and combine them.

Subject	[wtp-jsf-dev] JSF Tools Project: Design discussion meeting

Hi David,

As planned in the call two weeks back, I would like to schedule the next
meeting the coming Friday, 03/03, 11.00 AM PST.

Agenda:
Demo prototype to illustrate the hooks in WTP that the JSF Tools project
is using to provide features such as Content Assist. 

The prototype will not showcase the design-time metadata framework. We
will do that in a subsequent call.

The meeting notes form the last conference call is available here:

Thanks
Raghu
