Extending JDT functionality [message #186140] Wed, 28 January 2004 13:57 Go to next message

Hello everyone,

For a project I am running, I am interested in extending the
functionality of the Java Editor. I'll try to explain myself the best I
can to increase the chance that someone can give me some pointers. I
don't want to create another editor view. I want to extend the existing
Java Editor view by allowing it to recognize another language that is
written on top of java (usually inside javadoc comments). So, what I
want is to make a plugin, that once active, enhance the normal behavior
of the Java Editor (I will worry later on how to extract this extra code
as Java elements, but for now I want to know how to extend the editor).
I've been looking for extension points, but I don't seem to find any
that lets me do this. I really want this to work on top of the existent
Java Editor instead of having to create another Editor view that has
this functionality.

I will thank a lot any pointers or guidelines that anyone could give me
to make this or at least to know whether it's possible or not.

Thanks in advance for any help,

The Java editor is currently not supported and designed to be subclassed
that's why the Java editor stuff is in internal and not in API packages.
There are extension points to add stuff to the context menu and vertical
ruler of the Java editor but that won't help in your case.
