Source code folding in my own editor [message #268188]

I'm building my own TextEditor (an Eclipse 3.0 plugin) for editing a
self-defined language. I'd like to add support for folding my source
code, just like in the Java text editor since Eclipse 3.0. Is there a
standard way to do this? An extension, or something in the
SourceViewerConfiguration perhaps?

Thank you in advance,

Martijn van Steenbergen.

Here's how to configure it:

- in your editor override createSourceViewer(...) by returning a
ProjectionViewer instance
- in your editor extend createPartControl(...) to configure the
projection support
- in your editor extend getAdapter(...) to provide access to the
projection support
- ensure that whenever folding is affected you create/delete/update the
projection annotations

As an example on how to implement above stuff take a look at JavaEditor
and DefaultJavaFoldingStructureProvider. The Java editor the projection
annotations are updated whenever the Java model for the given
compilation unit changes.

Thank you very much! This will keep me busy for quite a while. Slowly
getting there. ^_^

Thanks again,

Martijn.
