Hi all - I've spent days trying various things, doing research, etc. and
I'm no closer to a solution.
I've got a subclass of SourceViewer that originally created a
VerticalRuler and showed annotations properly.
I took that code and replaced the VerticalRuler with a CompositeRuler and
added an AnnotationRulerColumn and a LineNumberRulerColumn. I also added
an OverviewRuler. All rulers show, but the AnnotationRulerColumn doesn't
show any annotations, although I've got styled text in the document (i.e.
squigglys underlining text). The OverviewRuler shows, but is also empty;
I'm not worried about it at the moment...
Do you have to manually do more when you try to hook in an
AnnotationRulerColumn vs. a VerticalRuler? Do you have to fully populate
the AnnotationModel *before* connecting it to an AnnotationRulerColumn in
the case of a CompositeRuler, whereas you don't have to fully populate it
in advance with a VerticalRuler? That wouldn't make a lot of sense. It's
like the parent classes (i.e. SourceViewer) can't figure out that the
AnnotationRulerColumn is taking the place of the VerticalRuler... do I
have to call something to tell the parent classes that my
AnnotationRulerColumn **IS** the VerticalRuler so it can apply the
annotations? I don't see a SourceViewer.setVerticalRuler() method,
though. Do you have to override getVerticalRuler so it returns the
AnnotationRulerColumn in the case of a CompositeRuler?
If I change my code back to create a VerticalRuler instead of a
CompositeRuler, with NO other changes (i.e. comment ONE line, uncomment
the other), the annotations show up. This is in an Eclipse v3.2 plugin.
ANY thoughts or pointers of things to check out are gratefully received
:-).
Happy Holidays, everyone! :-)
Thanks,
Bret

Hi Bret,
The vertical ruler is set from the SourceViewer constructor (I assume
that is what you are doing now...) - there is no other place to set it
and it should be enough.
Debug to see if your AnnotationRulerColumn has the proper
IAnnotationModel set (via CompositeRuler::setModel)? Do you need to set
the IAnnotationAccess?
If your viewer is part of an AbstractDecoratedTextEditor, also consider
overwriting createAnnotationRulerColumn instead, or using the
rulerColumns extension point.
