Re: [ve-dev] Getting Live objects from IJavaInstance/ ComponentEditPart

Hi Rashmi,

You can't actually get a handle to the live JavaBean inside your Eclipse plugin, because it's not held in the same JVM.  The VE starts a separate JVM for the editor that holds the JavaBeans, however you can get a handle to a proxy object through which you can talk to the live object and do things like call messages and such.  The way to get the proxy object is

BeanProxyUtilities.getBeanProxy(IJavaInstance);

If you look at the VE tutorial http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-VE-Custom-Widget/customwidget.html and the section "Target VM and its APIs" you will see some more details on the target VM and how to access objects on it.

Best regards,

Joe Winchester

Subject:        [ve-dev] Getting Live objects from IJavaInstance/ ComponentEditPart


Hi All,
   Is it possible to get the live component from the IJavaInstance. I have the list of IJavaInstance from the  VisualEditor 's Selection listener. Now I want to get the Live Objects/ instances of the objects selected. i.e .,If I have selected a Panel , I need to the Panel object programatically. I have browsed through IJavaInstance and it's corresponding ComponentEditPart objects. But am unable to get any lead into the results I require. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Thank You and Regards
