RE: [wtp-jsf-dev] Extension point in Visual Page editor of JSF 
There is an extension used in pagedesigner.jsf.ui called "org.eclipse.jst.pagedesigner.pageDesignerExtension".  It has an option called "elementEditFactory".  An example is org.eclipse.jst.pagedesigner.jsf.ui.elementedit.jsfhtml.JSFHTMLElementEditFactory used for the "html" JSF tag library.  If you create such a factory, you can return instances of AbstractElementEdit for tags.  The fillContextMenu callback on AbstractElementEdit should provide what you want.  If not let me know.

Subject: RE: [wtp-jsf-dev] Extension point in Visual Page editor of JSF


Hello

I need to add more options on the right click of JSF UI components
available in palette like Command Button. 

In the plugin org.eclipse.jst.pagedesigner.jsf.ui (Version 20070912) I
am not able to see any available extension points.

Basically all the options on the right click of UI components come from
addJSFAddItems method in org.eclipse.jst.pagedesigner.jsf.ui.actions.
JSFAddActionGroup, so I am trying to add an extension point which will
be called in addJSFAddItems as below

IExtension[] extensions = Platform.getExtensionRegistry()
	      .getExtensionPoint("xyz").getExtensions();

And subsequently adding in context menu and doing the required action.
(The action will open a tree which will display all the methods of some
specific java bean classes)

Are there any better approaches/available extension point to do this
task?

Thanks

Can you expand a bit on what you are trying to do and what extension
points you would like?  The Visual page editor already has extensive
extension points for extending such things as the context menus used on
the design canvas.
