Hi All, I realize now that the JavaDocs had not been published for Eclipse Monkey. I'll make sure that gets taken care of.
However, I'm pretty sure a DOM hasn't been written to wrap the compare functionality. One of the tricks I would use is to find the specific piece of functionality I wanted by searching through the Eclipse source, and then extracting that out into a small DOM I could use. I did this for things like "Open Type" based on a class name by looking through the JDT sources. Much of the UI components of Eclipse aren't readily set up for programmatic/scripting access. Perhaps that is something we can hope to address as part of 3.4?

The Eclipse scripting capability promises to be very powerful. I've been trying to write a script, but the lack of documentation is a problem! I have a script that successfully locates two files I've specified in a pop-up dialog. It took hours of trial-and-error and looking at the few code samples available to get the first part of the script running successfully. Here is the code after I have located the two target files. files = resources.filesMatching( "reg exp from dialog..." ); if( files.length == 2 ) { f0 = files[0].getEclipseObject() ; f1 = files[1].getEclipseObject() ; // compare with each other code goes here } I now want to invoke the Eclipse "Compare with each other" right-click menu option on these two files. Any ideas or help on how to do this??? The DOM my script uses is: * DOM: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dash/update/org.eclipse.eclipsemo nkey.lang.javascript Thanks for any help you can provide. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tom Dickens -- Boeing Associate Technical Fellow -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Corwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 9:25 AM > To: Tools for Committer Community > Subject: Re: [dash-dev] Documentation for built-in DOMs? > > Which is what I'm doing now to, but it would be significantly > easier to > get started if there were some docs readily available. > > Versions: > Eclipse: 3.3.0, Build id: I20070625-1500 > Buckminster Core: 0.2.0.r3483, the other pieces are all > 0.2.0.r something > All on Ubuntu 7.0.4 Feisty Fawn > > -Steve > > > Bjorn Freeman-Benson wrote: > > On the documentation issue: well, no, not really - we were > just using > > the source so far.
