| [e4-dev] Horizontal extension possibility for e4 tooling |
| Hy List, WHAT I would like to add horizontal extension possibility to the e4 tooling. That is, there already is the possibility to add new elements to the application model, and provide ones own editors for the e4 tooling. I would like to extend the tooling for already available elements by adding an extension point to the tooling itself. WHY I want to enrich already available elements with additional information. This could for example be used to add documentation information to all elements of the application model, or would allow me to e.g. create an additional tab, valid only if I use the SWT renderer, allowing me to do deeper inspection of the model. HOW I plan to create an extension point allowing to contribute tabs to given elements, as can be seen in the following image. The extension point will have to define for what model elements the contributed tab is valid, and on call of the editor the full model will be passed.  Can you please give me any feedback, on what you think about this, who would back/mentor this implementation, and what he/she would do different? Thanks, marco |
