Re: [ve-dev] Surrounding Components with a JPanel in VE

[Joe Winchester <WINCHEST@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ali,

If you attach to CVS host=dev.eclipse.org
and repository path="/cvsroot/tools" logon using user id of "anonymous"
and expand to folder "org.eclipse.ve.examples", select "org.eclipse.ve.example.emfmodel"
and do "Check Out".  This should create the project org.eclipse.ve.examples.emfmodel
in your workspace.

This has a class SetBackgroundJavaBeanObjectActionDelegate
which basically pops up on a "Refactor>" menu for an SWT control
or Swing component and lets you change the background color.  The
idea of this (and other things that will complete the plugin and the tutorial
that accompanys it we are working on) is to give people like yourselves
examples to work with that do EMF model manipulation.  I think it
covers your question, whose answer I gave previously assumed that you are
creating someo kind of action that will be on a pop-up menu or toolbar
that will work against the selected JavaBeans.

Let us know if the project helps you,
and also if there is any scenario you'd like to see us include in it.  The
examples we were thinking of being there are how to manipulate properties
of JavaBeans (which the setBackground sort of covers), how to add things
to the model (for both Swing and SWT), remove them, change type, and also
rescope (i.e. manipulate the code so things that were local fields become
instance fields and such).

Best regards,

Joe Winchester
