| − | | + | |
| − | === Discoverer extension point ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A discoverer must have a name and provide an implementation of the Discoverer interface to be managed by DiscoveryManager. For each discoverer, a new entry in the MoDisco menu will be added. However, each discoverer should provide a resource filter to adapt the menu depending on a single selected element.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Description of information in the contract of the discoverer extension point :
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''name''' - Required - information to identify a discoverer in the registry; it must be unique. This name will also be used to populate menu.
| + | |
| − | * '''class''' - Required - A class that implements the Discoverer interface to be managed and used by Discovery manager. When a corresponding element has been selected (filter provided by informations in extension part), a model can usually be retrieved by calling method "discoverElement", and it returns an EMF Resource.
| + | |
| − | * '''path''' - Optional- To allow sub-menu path into root menu provided by Discovery Manager. For example, if your path is "j2se5/filters", the provided menu will be : <root menu> -> java -> filters -> Your Discoverer name
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Discoverers registry ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The registry of discoverers references all discoverer extensions installed in the current Eclipse platform. The DiscoveryManager provides an access to this registry. There are two methods : one to retrieve all the discoverers and one to retrieve only one discoverer using its name to identify it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | /**
| + | |
| − | * Accessor to all discoverers registered in DiscoveryManager
| + | |
| − | * through extensions.
| + | |
| − | *
| + | |
| − | * @return the list of discoverers available in registry
| + | |
| − | */
| + | |
| − | public static List<? extends Discoverer> getDiscoverers()
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | /**
| + | |
| − | * Accessor to one discoverer registered in DiscoveryManager
| + | |
| − | * through extensions.
| + | |
| − | *
| + | |
| − | * @param discovererName name of a discoverer
| + | |
| − | * @return the discoverer with specified name,
| + | |
| − | * or null if there is no discoverer registered with specified name.
| + | |
| − | */
| + | |
| − | public static Discoverer getDiscoverer(String discovererName)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Dynamic contextual menu ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The contextual menu will be completed dynamically when a discoverer is able to manage the selected resource.
| + | |
| − | For example, when a java project is selected (instance of IJavaProject):
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| − | | + | |
| − | === Launch configuration framework ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The launch configuration framework provides a new type of launch configuration (named MoDisco Discoverers) accessible through the “Run Configurations …” menu.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:MoDisco-DiscoverersManager launch configuration type.jpg|frame|center|Presentation of discoverer type]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | And here is an example of a discovery configuration.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:MoDisco-DiscoverersManager launch configuration example.jpg|frame|center|Discovery configuration example]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As you could see in launch configuration screenshot, you are able to configure the parameters of your discoverer. However, we provide only few editors for basic types. To be able to improve editing capabilities, we provide a specific extension point to map an editor with a type (for example, a file browser for "IFile" type).

| − | == Install ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Sources ===
| + | |
| − | You will find a version of this plug-in in [http://dev.eclipse.org/viewsvn/index.cgi/plugins/trunk/org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.infra.discoverymanager/?root=Modeling_MODISCO the SVN repository].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Connection parameters to the SVN repository: [[MoDisco/SVN]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Here are deployment instructions :
| + | |
| − | * Import the project in your workspace using a SVN client.
| + | |
| − | * Use the "export" menu to export this project as a plug-in (Deployable plug-ins and fragments) in your Eclipse installation. Don't forget to choose the "Package plug-ins as individual jar archives" option.
| + | |
| − | * Re-start your Eclipse to take this plug-in into account.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Runtime ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You could download it or use the update manager. [http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/modisco/downloads/ See more ...]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == User manual ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | First step: in your plug-in properties (plugin.xml or META-INF/MANIFEST.MF), add a dependency to plug-in “org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.infra.discoverymanager”.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:MoDisco-DiscoverersManager plugin dependency initialisation.jpg|frame|center|Dependency to plug-in DiscoveryManager]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Second step: create a class in your plug-in that implements the Discoverer interface provided by the DiscoveryManager plug-in. See the javadoc of this interface for details of methods.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:MoDisco-DiscoverersManager class implementing Discoverer.jpg|frame|center|Creation of class which implements Discoverer]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Third step: in your plug-in properties (plugin.xml or META-INF/MANIFEST.MF), create a “discoverers” extension.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:MoDisco-DiscoverersManager creation of discoverers extension.jpg|frame|center|Creation of discoverers extension]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Fourth step: in discoverers extension, a discoverer declaration has been created automatically. You will have to fill element details to validate discoverer declaration.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:MoDisco-DiscoverersManager fill discoverer extension details.jpg|frame|center|Fill discoverer details]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Congratulations, your first discoverer has been successfully defined.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you want to add several discoverers in your plug-in, first you will have to add a discoverer in your “discoverers” extension.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:MoDisco-DiscoverersManager add another discoverer declaration in your extension.jpg|frame|center|Add another discoverer declaration in your extension]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Then, you will have to fill element details to obtain a second valid discoverer.
