RE: [ve-dev] Passing extra information to a customizer

[Darren Hurt <darren.hurt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have managed to accomplish what I want by subclassing the JavaVisualEditorPart and CustomizeJavaBeanAction

classes, and using the target VM API to set a couple of String properties on a singleton class in the target VM.

This is all I wanted to do, as my customizers can pick up this information from the singleton class.

 

I am aware that what I have done is far from conforming to the API, and would like to be able to do this kind of thing in

a proper way.

 

All I need is a hook to be able to call some arbitrary code after a JavaVisualEditorPart has set up it's ProxyFactoryRegistry.

Is there a way I can get involved to make this happen, either by requesting the change or doing it myself and commiting it?

Hello,

There isn't any way. The customizer is on a separate Java VM than the Eclipse IDE. The customizer doesn't know anything about the workspace. And there isn't anyway to tell it that info. The Customize action isn't extensible to allow that.

Sorry,
Rich
