[News.eclipse.technology.gmf] Re: Problem with properties

[Jerome Louvel <contact@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi bob,

I followed a similar path and also had issues integrating the 
HockeyLeague example with my GMF editors. It would be extremely useful 
to have a GMF-based example showing how to use tabbed properties, maybe 
modifying an existing GMF example.

I've found that the generated GMF editors already contain much of the 
properties logic needed: see packages under 
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.properties.

For your property contributor you can use:

<propertyContributor 
typeMapper="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.properties.filters.ModelElementTypeMapper"
contributorId="yourID"
labelProvider="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.util.CommonLabelProvider">

For your text property sections, you can try to use 
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.properties.sections.AbstractBasicTextPropertySection 
as the base class instead of the ones provided in the HockeyLeague example.

Thanks,
