Hi
Im in the middle of making my first plug-in, and hope I can get some
feedback on Best Practices from how others who might have some more
Eclipse plug-in experience than I have.
I want to do the following:
- Keep using the default Java Editor.
- "Catch an event" that I can hook some code onto (or trigger an event in
my plugin depending on how you put it)
The event I want to activate on is when a new method signature is
completed:
ie. when a user writes something like "public void newMethod(int x) { ".
Said in another way, I want to "do something" when a user writes the
closing bracket.
- On this "event", I want to run some code (A search with the "public void
newMethod(int x) { " that the user wrote, and then display the result in a
view.
I have looked at the following extension points:
-org.eclipse.ui.editors, this seems to lead me nowhere, since I can't
extend the default java editor
-org.eclipse.ui.editors.markerUpdaters,
org.eclipse.ui.javaEditorTextHovers, org.eclipse.ui.quickAssistProcessors,
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.foldingStructureProviders.
foldingStructureProviders looks promising, as it shows folding regions
immediately after a new method signature is written, but I can't get it to
work with the default java editor.
So... is it possible to do what I want? And if hopefully so, what would be
the best way to do it? Any suggestions are more than welcome, as I am a
bit stuck at the moment :)
Cheers, and thanks in advance for your time.
