Re: [platform-ui-dev] Creating an E4 view or editor in the eclipse workb

[Brian de Alwis <briandealwis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Coming to this late, but you can get 90% by self-inject:

private IEclipseContext context;

public void init(IEditorSite site, …) {

super.init(site, …);

context = site.getService(IEclipseContext.class);

ContextInjectionFactory.inject(this, context);

}

public void dispose() {

ContextInjectionFactory.uninject(this, context);

super.dispose();

}

You have to be careful to not do anything in your constructor or setInitializationData() since they're performed before the call to init().

I opened bug 500688 to discuss was to make this a bit easier.

I'd like to use the E4-style DI for creating an editor in the Eclipse IDE, but I can't figure out how. The first thing I tried was implementing an E4-style view and attaching it to an element in the editors extension point, but it didn't work. :-(

I've seen some guides describing how to create E4 views, but all of them seem to be targetted to Eclipse RCP applications. I couldn't find any information related to the Eclipse IDE.

Is it even possible?
