Re: [ptp-dev] Problems trying to create resource manager using XML framework

Al
Thanks for the example. I had about an hour to experiment where I started with the example then expanded on it mostly by copy and paste at this point. I was able to add a third tab with a composite containing a couple labels and text fields. I think I follow how the environment variables get set up.

I was thinking again about tabs within tabs and what you have might be acceptable. I'm thinking the outer tab set might be a basic tab and an advanced tab, then within  the basic tab another tab pane with a bunch of tabs by PE environment variable category and a simpler layout in the advanced tab.

I do have a couple questions
1) Does this implementation support remote connections? I'm able to create a remote project using the remote tools connection and then navigate to the project directory on the remote system. However, in the run configuration, even though I select the resource manager, which is started, the browse button for the executable path opens a local file browser. Also if I fill in the run configuration and click run, I get a bunch of output to the console view where it looks like a command is being executed setting a bunch of environment variables from my windows 7 system and the remote command dos not run.
2) Is there an easy way to tell what line in the XML file is invalid when parse exceptions are thrown? I was getting a parse exception because the XML editor I was using was generating a grid-data stanza with   <grid-data horizontalAlign="SWT.BEGINNING" grabExcessHorizontal="true"widthHint="100" horizontalSpan="1"></grid-data>
which was invalid instead of <grid-data horizontalAlign="SWT.BEGINNING" grabExcessHorizontal="true"widthHint="100" horizontalSpan=/> which is valid. I figured this out only because I'm building the XML file incrementally and only had a few places to look. If I had created a bunch of XML, I don't know how to find the statement in error since I don't see any line number of other identifying info in the exception traceback. For instance
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.1: Element 'grid-data' must have no character or element information item [children], because the type's content type is empty.

Dave,

to save you some time, I created a sample of what you are thinking of that you can use as a starting point.  Of course you will have to tweak the look and feel, but this demonstrates both your points (see esp. the XML for the environment business).

I did have to change TabFolder and TabItem to CTabFolder and CTabItem; I didn't realize that the latter were special classes and not just a style of the first widgets; they look so much nicer.

Anyway, I'm ready to respond to any questions (or take more flak ;-) ...

Al

P.S. the XML example is directly available in org.eclise.ptp.rm.jaxb.tests/data.

BTW, I did this in about 15 minutes, so I think once you're over the learning curve the advantages of this model-driven configuration will become evident.

I'm not sure why you think it would be confusing if you just make a single controller, and then make _its_ top child a tab-folder, adding the various groups as tab-items to that.  You'll have a redundant singleton controller label, but that shouldn't really be confusing.  See, for instance, my PBS interactive tab (attached).  You should in fact be able to nest tabbed folders arbitrarily or add more than one to the main tab too by embedding them in a composite.
