Re: [ecf-dev] ECF Collaboration with C++ code
|
Hi Jeff,
[I'm cross posting this to Doug Schaefer, the CDT project lead, because
this is actually a request for the CDT C++ editor to support ECF
real-time shared editing]
Jeff Koftinoff wrote:
I like ECF and the Collaboration Tools. I have a local ECF server
running and a local XMPP server as well (jabberd14). When I open a
java file I can right click on it and specify "Share with ->" and
select my friend to share the editing with.
With a C++ source file, regardless if I am in java perspective or CDT
perspective, the "Share with" menu option is unavailable.
How do I enable "Share With" for my project?
In general, for any Eclipse-based ITextEditor you can do this via this
procedure:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Extending_Real-Time_Shared_Editing_for_Use_with_Other_Editors
Now, I don't know the C++ editor, so I'm not sure if it implements
ITextEditor, and I also don't know what the C++ editor(s) context id is
(which is needed as described on the page above).
Ideally, the CDT project would agree to add the markup described on the
page above to their C++ editor...which would then automatically enable
the editor with shared editing capabilities (as we did for the java and
txt editors) if ECF and docshare had been installed. But that is their
choice.
(BTW, we've heard the WTP project intends to do exactly this for a
number of their xml editors and other editors within WTP).
Thanks,
Scott
