EMF Compare/How To Open Compare Dialog With Comparison
< EMF Compare
Revision as of 04:35, 2 October 2012 by Mikael.barbero.obeo.fr (Talk | contribs) (→Preparing the input)
This is only valid for the 2.0 release stream.
In this page you will learn how to open a dialog displaying the result of a comparison.
Preparing the input
The first thing to do is to implement your own class of CompareEditorInput.
You must override two methods :
- prepareInput(IProgressMonitor), that must return the Comparison object (result from the EMFCompare computation) adapted as an IDiffElement
- createDiffViewer(Composite), that must return a new instance of EMFCompareStructureMergeViewer.
Here is a sample implementation that you can reuse as is :
/** * A custom implementation of the editor input. */ class CustomCompareEditorInput extends CompareEditorInput { private final Comparison comparison; private final AdapterFactory adapterFactory; /** * Constructor. * * @param configuration * the compare configuration * @param comparison * the comparison */ public CustomCompareEditorInput(CompareConfiguration configuration) { super(configuration); this.comparison = (Comparison)configuration.getProperty(EMFCompareConstants.COMPARE_RESULT); this.adapterFactory = new ComposedAdapterFactory(ComposedAdapterFactory.Descriptor.Registry.INSTANCE); } /** * {@inheritDoc} * * @see org.eclipse.compare.CompareEditorInput#prepareInput(org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor) */ @Override protected Object prepareInput(IProgressMonitor monitor) throws InvocationTargetException, InterruptedException { return adapterFactory.adapt(this.comparison, IDiffElement.class); } /** * {@inheritDoc} * * @see org.eclipse.compare.CompareEditorInput#createDiffViewer(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite) */ @Override public Viewer createDiffViewer(Composite parent) { return new EMFCompareStructureMergeViewer(parent, getCompareConfiguration()); }; }
