Re: [jdt-ui-dev] Java Outline View on a non-file input

Please ask questions which are not related to the development of JDT UI in
the newsgroups (eclipse.tools.jdt).

Hi,

I am opening a (read-only) Java editor on an non-file input source (which
actually is a file that I get from a remote system).

I have implemented my own IStorage and IStorageEditorInput to get the file
content from the remote file system (see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/FAQ_How_do_I_open_an_editor_on_something_that_is_not_a_file%3F
)

That all works fine and the editor shows the Java file with syntax
highlighting. But the outline view remains empty. I have been debugging and
researching a bit and the Outline View seems to require the editor input to
implement IFileEditorInput.

Does this mean that the Outline View is only available for files?
Is there a way to make the Outline View available for non IFile objects?
Or do I have to download the remote file to the local system and than use
an IFileEditorInput? But this solution sounds a bit odd to me since I do
not understand why an Outline View can only work on physical files and not
on any kind of content.

Thanks for your help,
Peter
