Re: [platform-ui-dev] Expression editor contribution

Hi Christian,

what is the difference or enhancement to the PDE editor?

Related to that work might be that Simon Scholz is working on a way to define Java classes as expressions via Bug 509429.

Best regards, Lars

Hi,

I am currently working on a UI contribution to build and modify expressions. It is hosted as a composite and looks somewhat similar to the PDE editors that allow to build enabledWhen or visibleWhen expressions. Next to building it also allows to serialize and parse such expressions into/from human readable strings.

Here is a small screenshot of an early prototype

For me there are 2 relevant use cases for such a component:

first it will be needed for EASE when users want to push scripts to menus only under certain conditions.

Second I plan to contribute my Resource decorator plugin:
http://codeandme.blogspot.co.at/p/blog-page_7.html
which would also need expressions to create filters for certain entries.

Possibly there exist other components which could make use of expressions, too.

Now to my question: is there interest in platform.ui to host such an _expression_ utility? If yes, which plugin should I use to host the code?

Christian
