RE: [ve-dev] API to Generate XMl

[Rich Kulp <richkulp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Janak,

It's not an official API but you can
get access to it the same way the org.eclipse.ve.internal.java.codegen.editorpart.XMLViewPart
gets it. Though the more official way to get the editdomain is to replace:

         
      if
(part instanceof
JavaVisualEditorPart) {
         
              EditDomain
domain = ((JavaVisualEditorPart) part).getEditDomain();

with

        org.eclipse.gef.EditDomain
gefDomain = (org.eclipse.gef.EditDomain) part.getAdapter(org.eclipse.gef.EditDomain.class);
        if
(domain instanceof EditDomain) {
         
      EditDomain domain = (EditDomain) getDomain;

where EditDomain is org.eclipse.ve.internal.cde.core.EditDomain.

Subject	RE: [ve-dev] API to Generate XMl

Hi Rich,
 
I don't mean "XML instead
of Java", I mean " XML in addition to Java" ,.
 
VE should work as it works right
now - i.e. it should construct the model by parsing Java code. However,
if I can access and walk the EMF model i.e. I guess is the same model behind
the XML viewer, then it can be easily translated to an XML dialect of choice.

 
So the question is through which
API the XML viewer is accessing the EMF model? Is this API public?
 
Thanks and regards,
 
Janak

Hi Janak, 

No we don't have that. It would have to be a new editor part. One that
gets its model from the EMF XMI file instead of parsing from java code.
We've always wanted to do that but we've never had time to get around to
doing it. The current JavaVisualEditorPart is almost there but we would
have to rip parts of it out because it no longer would be a java code editor.
We would have to rip out the codegen with all of the decoders and such
too. 

Sorry, 
Rich

Subject	[ve-dev] API to Generate XMl

Hi,

Right now VE generates Java. How can I make it generate XML?

I can see the component hierarchy and the properties in the XML view. I.e.
the EMF model is visible in the XMLView.

Is there an API available to the XML view? How can access it,  parse
it and
generate my own XML?

Or

Is there an API to walk the EMF model and generate XML? Lets say, I want
to
have buttons in VE like:

"Generate XML" - that will walk the EMF model and generate XML
to a file.
"Execute XML" - walk the EMF model, generate XML and execute
it

Thanks and regards,

Janak
