AW: [ULC-developer] Extending Visual Editor 5.0

[Peter Koch]

hi janak!

 

thanks for the help.

 

I defined now an own classpath container ("ivy widget libraries")

in the plugin.xml of my plugin. 

after adding both classpath containers - the "ulc libraries" and the "ivy widget libraries" - to the target project,

the palette fully shows up with the ulc widgets and my own widgets.

 

conclusion for me:

somehow the palette.xmi-files depend on a mandatory classpath container

and the palette is built up thru the registration of the classpath container in

the plugin.xml.

(I'm not yet that comfortable writing the plugin.xml by hand...) ;-)

 

br,

peter

Hi Peter,

 

The palette shows up only if ULC Libraries class path container is in the path of your project (using Add Library..).

 

You could add your widgets to the existing palette ulcbeanscats.xmi under "\eclipse\plugins\com.canoo.ulc.visualeditor_5.0.1\palette" directory. Note that plugin version number in directory name in your case could be 5.0 or whichever version you are using.

 

I am not sure if you can add your jar files to the ULC Libraries container.

 

(I will try this and let you know. Perhaps we should find a way to make the container editable if possible so that other jars can be added)

 

You can  add your jar file to the Java Build Path using Add External Jar or Add Jar.

 

Just try this and let me know if it worked.

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Janak

hi,

 

I'm trying to extend ULC VE (adding custom widgets to the palette,

custom cell editor, ...). I had no problem following the general tutorial

"extending the visual editor tutorial" to extend the "normal" visual editor.

now I'm trying to extend the ULC VE.

 

is it really necessary to create and register a "classpath container" ?

isn't it sufficent to just add the right jar-archive to the build path

in the project ? my modified palette is not showing... :-))

 

thanks & best regards,

peter
