Eclipse vista registry

You can change the application via your code by changing the model elements. The Eclipse platform has listeners registered on most parts of the model and updates the application if you change the model. The persisted state of the application model can be deleted at start of your application via the clearPersistedState parameter as a launch parameter. In most cases this is undesired behavior for an exported application and only used during development. The programming model of Eclipse 3.

These extensions define new parts, new menus, etc. In modern Eclipse RCP applications you use fragments and processors. A model fragment is a file which typically ends with the. It specifies additional model elements and which model element it extends.

For example, a fragment can contribute a new menu containing several new menu entries to the main menu of the application. In the fragment the the Featurename is a link to the model element which you want to extend.

The following table lists some Featurename values and their purposes. The following table gives several examples how you can use XPath expressions to define the model element you want to extend. Contribute to the first child of the main menu. In most applications this would be the menu:File menu. Contribute to the first Menu of the main menu.

This xpath is more detailed than the one above since it also requires that the main menu child is of type menu:Menu. In most application this would be the menu:File menu. Contribute to the top trimbar. When the MTrimBar is on top the side attribute is omitted, therefore not side is used. Contribute to a MPart which is tagged with the Editor tag. Fragments define the desired position of new model elements via the Position in List attribute. The following values are allowed:.

Places the new model elements at position theIndex. Example: index Places the new model elements after the model element with the ID theotherelementsid. Therefore, first or index might not always result in the desired outcome. A processor allows contributing to the model via program code. This enables the dynamic creation of model elements during the start of the application. In this exercise you create a standard Eclipse plug-in.

Afterwards, you convert the generated plug-in into an Eclipse RCP application. This plug-in is used as basis for your user interface components. If you created other projects earlier, it is recommended that you close them or remove them from the workspace to avoid side effects. To close a project, right click on it and select Close from the content menu. To remove a project from the workspace, right click on it and select Delete from the content menu.

In the resulting dialog DO NOT set the "Delete project content on disk" flag, this way you can later import the project again, if needed. If you are using a target definition file, the corresponding project must of course stay open in the workspace. Create the com. On the first wizard page enter com. If you click the Next button instead of Finish , the wizard shows you a template selection page. So not make a selection and finish the wizard.

In the manifest editor switch to the Dependencies tab and ensure that there are no entries. Create a new feature project called com. Afterwards select the Included Plug-ins tab in the editor of the feature.

Ensure you have added the plug-in on the Included Plug-ins tab to include it into your feature. Using the Dependencies tab is wrong for this exercise. Create a new project called com. Right-click on the com. Create a product configuration file called todo. E4Application in the Application combo box. Ensure that a ID, version and Name is set.

Version should be set to 0. Open your todo. If you cannot add one of the listed features to your product, ensure that you have changed your product to be based on features. Older versions of the Eclipse IDE added the current version of the feature. As the version of an included feature may change over time, you should avoid using the feature version number in your product. Create an application model file in your com. Enter your com. Press the Finish button to create the application model file and to open it in an editor.

Right-click on the Windows node, and select Trimmed Window as depicted in the following screenshot. Enter an ID with the taskmanager suffix, the position and size of the window and a label as shown in the screenshot below. If you start and close your application the last state of the application is persisted by the framework and restored the next time you start this application.

This is undesired during development, as the latest state from the application model file should be used. To ensure that always the latest version of your application model is used, add the -clearPersistedState parameter to your product configuration file. Ensure that you used the - sign and that the parameter is typed correctly. Is must be: -clearPersistedState. Open the product file and select the Overview tab. Press the Launch an Eclipse application hyperlink in the Testing section.

Validate that your application starts. You should see an empty window, which can be moved, resized, minimized, maximized and closed. In the this exercise, you create the basis of the application user interface. At the end of this exercise, your user interface should look similar to the following screenshot.

Open the Application. Change its Orientation attribute to Horizontal and enter into the ID field the com. Re-select the parent part sash container and add a part sash container element. Add two part stacks to this new element. The final structure of your application model should be similar to the following screenshot. In the screenshot the overview part is selected in the tree hence you see its data.

Start your product and validate that the user interface looks as planned. See Desired user interface for the desired result.

Reassign your model elements, if required. The model editor supports drag-and drop for reassignment. Also note that you can already see the structure, even though you have not created any Java classes so far. MF file of the plug-in. In this exercise you prepare the usage of classes from other plug-in. MF file in your com. You can create the classes by clicking on the Class URI hyperlink in the detail pane of the model editor for the part. This also connects the created class to the model object.

If you do this, you can skip Connect the Java classes with your parts. In your application model and connect the class with the corresponding part model element. You can do this via the Class URI property of the part model element. The initial list of Contribution Classes is empty, start typing in the Class Name field to see the results.

To validate that the model objects are created at runtime check the Console view of Eclipse for the output of the System. In this exercise you create a model fragment to contribute a part descriptor. Create a simple plug-in project named com. The following description abbreviates the plug-in name to the contribute.

MF file, add the following plug-ins as dependencies to your contribute. The manifest should look similar to the following listing.

Version numbers have been removed as they change frequently-. Select the contribute. The fragment creation wizard also adds the org. To review this open the plugin. If the plugin. Select the Overview tab and click on the Extensions link. This shows the Extensions tab in the editor and once you add an extension in this tab the plugin.

Ensure that on the the Extensions tab the field apply is set to always. Your entry then should look similar to this screenshot:. If the entry in the plugin. Afterwards add a new extension for the org. Once this has been created, use the a right mouse click to add a fragment to the extension.

Open the fragment. Select the Model Fragments node and press the Add button. Right click on this entry and select Add Child PartDescriptor. Choose the AdditionalInformationPart class. For pure e4 RCP applications this flag is not needed. Add the Eclipse model spy to your runtime application and ensure that you see the part descriptor.

Optional create a new handler which opens a new part based on this part descriptor. The programming model in Eclipse supports constructor, method and field injection according to the Java Specification Request JSR Eclipse also defines additional annotations for the purpose of dependency injection. The most important annotations are covered in Annotations to define class dependencies in Eclipse , other more special annotations are covered in there corresponding chapters.

The Eclipse dependency framework ensures that the key and the type of the injected object is correct. For example, if you specify that you want to have an object of type Todo for the "xyz" key, as shown in the following field declaration, the framework will only inject an object if it finds one with an assignable type. The following table gives an overview of dependency injection related annotations based on JSR and the Eclipse specific ones. Defined by JSR, can be added to a field, a constructor or a method.

The Eclipse framework tries to inject the corresponding objects into the fields or the parameters of the instance. Defined by JSR, defines the key for the value which should be injected. By default, the fully qualified class name is used as the key. Several keys for default values are defined as constants in the IServiceConstants interface.

Eclipse specific annotation, marks an injected value to be optional. If no valid object can be determined for the given key and type , the framework does not throw an exception.

The specific behavior depends on where the Optional is placed. The following description is based on the key. If the key cannot be resolved the following happens:. Note that null is an acceptable value to be set in the context, and it is different from a key being removed from the context. For example, if the following is called context. Eclipse specific annotation, indicates that updates for this Inject should be batched. If you change such objects in the Eclipse context, the update is triggered by the processWaiting method of the IEclipseContext object.

This annotation is intended to be used by the platform for performance optimization and should rarely be necessary in RCP applications. The Eclipse platform supports additional annotations for special purposes, e. The Eclipse runtime creates objects for the Java classes referred by the application model.

Erich, Good idea. Pingback: EmbSysRegView 0. I followed the directions to update the files for the plugin to work with my MK64FXVLQ12 which seems to exactly match the Freescale processor selection in the directions.

When I bring up the EmbSys Registers window and double click on a portion of the registers they turn green suggesting that they were loaded but no data is shown in the Hex or Bin columns. Only the Reset, Access, Address, and Description have values. Is there something specific I could have done wrong in the installation or something else I need to do?

The about indicates that the Eclipse Platform is 4. Thanks in advance for any help. I ask because the information shown is depending on the data in the. Yes, I downloaded com. I the Window open this time when I started debugging and it started showing values in the Hex and Bin columns. The values look reasonable. Yes, you need to debug things, otherwise you cannot get the values I was going to ask you if you are in debug mode.

It happened to me once or twice too that the view was not showing values, but did afterwards after stepping. So indeed it could have been this. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

Addendum: Windows Registry Even though Eclipse isn't "installed" like a regular Windows application, there are still a few entries that get written to the system registry.

There are probably a lot more locations, depending on how the IDE is configured. As far as I understand the ". I don't know much about that or how it is configured, if you have more information about it feel free to add it. Is this answer a joke? My eclipse kept getting stuck so i went and tried uninstalling, and after reading At least eclipse does not write to system registry i cringe, especially after seeing this: snipboard.

Lorenzo Well "The installer just automates what you'd otherwise do manually. It does not register anything in your system registry" is what Eclipse developers said about the topic a few years ago. This answer is not a joke but I actually hope that the complexity of uninstalling everything manually shows how out of touch their statement has become.

Good to know that it actually does write something to the registry, maybe that can be used as argument to convince them that an automated uninstaller is needed eventually. I'll include information about the registry in the answer later. Overall, i never trust uninstallers and what companies say; that's why i use RevoUninstaller to remove programs; that's also how i found these registry entries and know not to trust uninstallers or companies. I recommend to use this because it avoids you having to manually search and remove entries by hand and it does a pretty good job in finding a lot of entries based on scan mode there might be falsepositives so always verify — Lorenzo.

Anyway, I might try it on another machine again, will do that. But at the moment, I think I am going to use IntelliJ. Show 5 more comments.
