Papyrus Embedded Editors (XText direct editors)
This page describes the work done to improve embedded editors feature inside Papyrus.
State of art
Concepts in place
- Object to Edit
- this is the source to edit and which correspond to a particular matching (i.e its MetaClass).
- Direct Editor
- editor binds with F2 keyboard to edit an element without use the properties view.
- Language
- it is used by editor to edit the element
Conception
Today, Papyrus gives to user the possibilities to :
- provide its own Direct Editors for a MetaClass
- associate its editor as default embedded editor for a MetaClass
The API gives extensions points to define a Direct Editor and to associate this one to a MetaClass :
org.eclipse.papyrus.extensionpoints.editors.DirectEditor
Three kind of editor can be implemented :
- Simple editor
- Advanced editor
- Popup editor
Preferences page
Conception
Requirements
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| PEE_001 | A constraint shall be defined on MetaClass of a DirectEditor |
| PEE_002 | Preferences page has to integrate the constraint concept |
Enhancements
Concepts
A new concept needs to be added in this feature.
- Constraint
- It permits to restrict the use of an editor with a specific element. This concept is applied on the object to edit.
- Does this new concept need to be shared between all Direct editors with a distinct Identifier?
Conception
The preferences page needs to evolve to contain the constraint concept. The user needs to know if this constraint is correctly integrated to Papyrus.
In preferences page, the upper frame will contain a tree structure with Object to Edit and defined constraints on it. This structure will have two levels.
Bugzilla
The bugzilla enhancement item tracking progress of this enhancement is
