what does "Referenced part does not exist yet" mean? [message #330810] Wed, 13 August 2008 20:38 Go to next message

R3.3, WinXP

I get this log-entry three times at startup in our RCP:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 2008-08-13 16:22:40.781
!MESSAGE Referenced part does not exist yet: com.mun.ist.MyViewsFolder.

The id refers to a layout-folder created in our IPerspectiveFactory,
like this:

public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false);

layout.createFolder("com.mun.ist.MyViewsFolder", IPageLayout.BOTTOM,
0.5f, IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);
}

The only other place where that ID is used is in our plugin.xml where
three views declare as follows:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
<perspectiveExtension
targetID="com.mun.ist.our.perspective">
<view
closeable="true"
id="com.mun.ist.some.view"
moveable="true"
ratio="0.5"
relationship="stack"
relative="com.mun.ist.MyViewsFolder"
showTitle="true"
standalone="false"
visible="false">
</view>
</perspectiveExtension>
</extension>

What are we doing wrong? Or is that log-message just a warning and we
can ignore it?

thanks,
-Paul

Paul,

with
layout.createFolder("com.mun.ist.MyViewsFolder", IPageLayout.BOTTOM,
0.5f, IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);
you're creating a folder with the id "com.mun.ist.MyViewsFolder".

You cannot reference this folder-id in the 'relative'-attribute of your
perspective extension. This attribute requires a view-id, not a folder-id

Ah -- I see. Can I use the id of the "editor area"? (I thought I tried
that and it failed.)

What we are trying to do is this:

====================================================
| | |
| OurFixed | |
| View | Editor Area |
| | |
| | |
| |__________________________________|
| | |
| | |
| | Plugged-In Views |
| | Area/Folder |
| | |
| | |
====================================================

Since the Views are plugged in, the IPerspectiveFactory of course cannot
know their ids.

Since the we want the Views located "down there", there is no way (that
I have thought of) to specify their location with respect to the
"OurFixedView".

Someone else tried the folder idea (which would work if we hard-wired in
the plugged-in views' ids, but ... bad plan).

thanks,
Paul

Ah, so now I tried again setting that attribute to
"org.eclipse.ui.editorss" -- and it works! Is doing that an unreliable
kluge (since the id should be the id of a View) or is the docco slightly
wrong (and should say "of a View or of the editor-area")?

I find that the folder must exist, at least (I think my prior attempt to
use the id "org.eclipse.ui.editorss" failed b/c I also removed the folder).

thanks,
Paul

The second (org.eclipse.ui.editorss is valid as a relative ID for
perspective layouts).

OK, thanks -- shall I enter a bug against Eclipse/ PDE/ Doc for the
ext.-pt. "org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions"?
