[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Adding more tabs in property view in GMF

[David Schmelter <schmelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A few months ago we implemented additional property tabs for one of our 
editors (GMF 1.0).

I think the important points were to set the correct contributor and 
->category<- name in the 
org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed.propertyTabs extension like follows:

<propertyTabs contributorId="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.properties">
    <propertyTab
        category="Core"
        id="yourid"/>
    </propertyTabs>

I believe in GMF 1.0 there is a fixed number of (four?) predefined 
categories but im not sure though.

best regards,
David
