Re: [Dltk-dev] IScriptBuilder/IBuildParticipant questions
|
Jae,
I did not mention explicitly the interfaces of the 3rd part -
IValidatorType/IValidator/ISourceModuleValidator - the API to call
external process to perform some code checks/validation.
So there are 3 parts of the builder API in the DLTK:
- IScriptBuilder is the general API
- IBuildParticipant is the API to implement code checks in java code
- IValidator is the API to call external validation process
At the moment there are 2 implementations of the IValidator API:
A) Tcl checker
- org.eclipse.dltk.tcl.internal.tclchecker.TclCheckerType is a factory
- org.eclipse.dltk.tcl.internal.tclchecker.TclCheckerImpl is a
configured instance
- org.eclipse.dltk.tcl.internal.tclchecker.TclChecker is a runtime instance
B) External Checker
-
org.eclipse.dltk.validators.internal.externalchecker.core.ExternalCheckerType
is a factory
-
org.eclipse.dltk.validators.internal.externalchecker.core.ExternalChecker
is a configured instance
-
org.eclipse.dltk.validators.internal.externalchecker.core.ExternalCheckerWorker
is a runtime instance
External validators are configured in the Preferences - DLTK - Validators
The list have checkboxes for each validator. If the checkbox is active -
the validator is started automatically from the ValidatorBuilder (it
implements IScriptBuilder). The checkbox is there since executing
external process is time consuming operation, so the end user is able to
enable/disable it.
Also they could be executed manually using popup menus:
- on the model element in the script explorer
- in the script editor
(the command in the popup menu is shown only if there are available
validators)
The 'perl -c' is the ideal use case for the IValidator API. You just
don't need to configure the path of executable and use the interpreter
instead.
Today I am going to do refactoring of IBuildParticipant and move it to
the dltk.core plugin. After that I will document all builders API in the
Wiki.
Regards,
Alex

ahh - i was wondering why the 'add' button was grey-ed out on that

that mechanism isn't going to work for invoking 'perl -c'. the code
needs to be compiled using whatever interpreter is configured for the
project.
now that i understand the difference between the IScriptBuilder and
IBuildParticipant extensions, i'll start putting together an
IScriptBuilder implementation for this. i'll try to come up w/
something generic so ruby and other languages can leverage it as well.
thx!

One can use external checker without programming - it is developed

Preferences - DLTK - Validators - [Add] and so on.

i'm confused by what you mean about first testing it and then
building a
perl specific implementation.
