Hi ...
I would like to create a property view in my plug-in.
As I understood I need to contribute to the extension point
org.eclips.ui.views new view, let's for example say, a view that uses
PropertySheetPage.
Also any object that needs to be represented must implement IPropertySource
interface.
Am I correct ?
Is there anything else that must be done ?
Thanks in advance,
Uri

If you intend to use PropertySheets and PropertySheetPages, I would
instead use the existing Properties View and instead contribute a
property page for your editor. That way when your editor is up, the
Property view will show the properties page from you editor.
The only reason you would need to provide your own PropertySheetPage is
if you need different IPropertySheetEntries then the standard ones. If
the standard ones are ok, then all that is needed is that the selection
provider in your editor provides:
1) An IStructuredSelection
2) The entries in the selection are IAdaptable and respond to
getAdapter(IPropertySource.class) with an IPropertySource instance.
Then your IPropertySource instance will be asked for descriptors, and so
on. These will then become the properties in the standard properties view.
Having your own Properties view could get confusing to a user.

There is also a new article on the Eclipse site about using the properties
view.
