[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] How to access the model from another plug-in

["Jan H. van der Ven" <jhvdven@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,


Excuse me for my previous post. I forgot to change the subject.

We have a plugin that defines a view and it depends on a GMF editor. The 
view needs the name of the editor file, to pass it as a parameter in a 
web service. We could deduce that from the URIEditorInput.

But now there is a feature request that requires access to the model.

I implemented it by opening the file (because I had the name) and 
parsing the XML, but that was not my original idea. The whole model is 
present as part of the editor. But how to get at it?

I have the IEditorPart and from that I want to access the model. I can 
see in the Local variables that through the Edit(ing)Domain I can access 
the viewers, and from there all the children on the diagram. But when I 
try to code this, I am stuck at the URIEditorInput.

I hope I made myself clear. I have access to the code of the editor too. 
 So I can change it. But I would love to hear about a solution where 
the editor code is not available.

Kind regards,


Jan
