how to open multiple consoleview with different input text - eclipse-rcp

i want to open multiple console view with different input text on single swt button click in eclipse rcp application
Can anybody tell me about this ?
Thank you.

Add org.eclipse.ui.console as dependency and after that you can create different extensions.
Some more details about the implementation you can find on this page http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t66777.html.
Here a simple implementation (source):
plugin.xml
<plugin>
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.console.consoleFactories">
<consoleFactory label="ConsoleX" class="console.Factory">
</consoleFactory>
</extension>
</plugin>
class Factory
package console;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.ConsolePlugin;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.IConsole;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.IConsoleFactory;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.IConsoleManager;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.MessageConsole;
public class Factory implements IConsoleFactory {
private static MessageConsole _console;
public void openConsole() {
MessageConsole console = getConsole();
if (console != null) {
IConsoleManager manager =
ConsolePlugin.getDefault().getConsoleManager();
IConsole[] existing = manager.getConsoles();
boolean exists = false;
for (int i = 0; i < existing.length; i++) {
if(console == existing[i])
exists = true;
}
if(! exists)
manager.addConsoles(new IConsole[] {console});
manager.showConsoleView(console);
}
}
public static MessageConsole getConsole() {
if (_console == null) {
_console = new MessageConsole("ConsoleX",null);
}
return _console;
}
}
Usage
Factory.getConsole().activate();
Factory.getConsole().newOutputStream().write("Hello world.".getBytes());

Own Application Class in RCP is not called

I develop a Eclipse RCP Client with the 2019-06 Eclipse Framework.
My aim is it to override the IDEApplication class from the eclipse core, because I would like to force the workspace choose prompt to pop up at every start. In the eclipse class are some coditions which creates problems in my application. This is the reason why I want to override the class. My problem is now that my application class is not called at the startup of the product.
This is my application class.
import org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplication;
import org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplicationContext;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbench;
import org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI;
/**
* This class controls all aspects of the application's execution
*/
public class Application implements IApplication {
/*
* (non-Javadoc)
*
* #see org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplication#start(org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplicationContext)
*/
#Override
public Object start(IApplicationContext context) throws Exception {
Display display = PlatformUI.createDisplay();
Location instanceLoc = Platform.getInstanceLocation();
boolean isWorkspaceSelected = false;
try {
URL url = new File(System.getProperty(“user.home”), “workspace”).toURI().toURL();
ChooseWorkspaceData data = new ChooseWorkspaceData(url);
ChooseWorkspaceDialog dialog = new ChooseWorkspaceDialog(display.getActiveShell(), data, true, true);
dialog.prompt(true);
String selection = data.getSelection();
if (selection != null) {
isWorkspaceSelected = true;
data.writePersistedData();
url = new File(selection).toURI().toURL();
instanceLoc.set(url, false);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
try {
if (isWorkspaceSelected) {
int returnCode = PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(display, new ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor());
if (returnCode == PlatformUI.RETURN_RESTART)
return IApplication.EXIT_RESTART;
}
return IApplication.EXIT_OK;
} finally {
display.dispose();
}
}
/*
* (non-Javadoc)
*
* #see org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplication#stop()
*/
#Override
public void stop() {
if (!PlatformUI.isWorkbenchRunning())
return;
final IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
final Display display = workbench.getDisplay();
display.syncExec(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if (!display.isDisposed())
workbench.close();
}
});
}
}
Now I have two questions.
If I debug my application this class is never in the callstack. What do I have to do that this class is started ?
Is there a other way to force the prompt for choosing a workspace location at the start of the application than to override this class ?
My main problem is that the original class of the core has the following condition:
if workspace is not set -> create dialog if workspace is already set -> dont create the dialog.
Unfortunatly in my application the workspace location is already set in the internal of eclipse beofre the core of eclipse is loaded.
I have already tried to change the start order of the plugins but that hasn´t helped.

How do I reset perspective for Eclipse e4 RCP application?

After building a perspective in application.e4xmi file, I am unable to reset perspective by calling IWorkbenchPage.resetPerspective().
I thought this may save others some time, as well as document it for myself.
The trick to being able to reset an e4 perspective is as follows (assumes a basic application.e4xmi with PerspectiveStack element):
In your application.e4xmi file, locate your PerspectiveStack under your Application/TrimmedWindow node. Record/set its ID.
In Eclipse 4 Model Editor, drag your Perspective(s) from underneath your PerspectiveStack to Application/Snippets. (This will cause your perspective IDs to register with IPerspectiveRegistry, and provide a pristine state).
Create new CopyPerspectiveSnippetProcessor. This will copy the perspectives in your snippets to your PerspectiveStack on startup. This makes it so you don't have to maintain two copies of each perspective element in your e4xmi file.
package com.example.application.processors;
import org.eclipse.e4.core.di.annotations.Execute;
import org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.MApplication;
import org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.MUIElement;
import org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.advanced.MPerspective;
import org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.advanced.MPerspectiveStack;
import org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.modeling.EModelService;
/**
* Copies all snippet perspectives to perspective stack called "MainPerspectiveStack" In order to register/reset perspective and not have to sync two copies in
* e4xmi.
*
*/
public class CopyPerspectiveSnippetProcessor {
private static final String MAIN_PERSPECTIVE_STACK_ID = "MainPerspectiveStack";
#Execute
public void execute(EModelService modelService, MApplication application) {
MPerspectiveStack perspectiveStack = (MPerspectiveStack) modelService.find(MAIN_PERSPECTIVE_STACK_ID, application);
// Only do this when no other children, or the restored workspace state will be overwritten.
if (!perspectiveStack.getChildren().isEmpty())
return;
// clone each snippet that is a perspective and add the cloned perspective into the main PerspectiveStack
boolean isFirst = true;
for (MUIElement snippet : application.getSnippets()) {
if (snippet instanceof MPerspective) {
MPerspective perspectiveClone = (MPerspective) modelService.cloneSnippet(application, snippet.getElementId(), null);
perspectiveStack.getChildren().add(perspectiveClone);
if (isFirst) {
perspectiveStack.setSelectedElement(perspectiveClone);
isFirst = false;
}
}
}
}
}
Register your CopyPerspectiveSnippetProcess into your plugin.xml file.
<extension id="MainAppModel" point="org.eclipse.e4.workbench.model">
<processor beforefragment="false" class="com.example.application.processors.CopyPerspectiveSnippetProcessor"/>
</extension>
Reset the perspective as normal. You will also want to set the perspective stack and the current perspective to visible, as these can sometimes be set to invisible. A sample handler might look like:
import org.eclipse.e4.core.di.annotations.Execute;
import org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.MApplication;
import org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.advanced.MPerspectiveStack;
import org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.modeling.EModelService;
import org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI;
public class ResetPerspectiveHandler {
private static final String MAIN_PERSPECTIVE_STACK_ID = "MainPerspectiveStack";
#Execute
public void execute(EModelService modelService, MApplication application) {
MPerspectiveStack perspectiveStack = (MPerspectiveStack) modelService.find(MAIN_PERSPECTIVE_STACK_ID, application);
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().resetPerspective();
perspectiveStack.getSelectedElement().setVisible(true);
perspectiveStack.setVisible(true);
}
}
Reset perspective (when you lunch e4 application without clearing work space, when you switch other perspective to your perceptive).
Step 1: Add a add-on in your model fragment at application level.
Step 2: Create Add-on class and implement EventHandler
Step 3: add following code in the class.
public class ResetPrespectiveAddOn implements EventHandler {
private static final String MY_PERSPECTIVE_ID = "myPrespectiveId";
#Inject
private IEventBroker broker;
#PostConstruct
public void loadPrespective() {
broker.subscribe(UIEvents.ElementContainer.TOPIC_SELECTEDELEMENT, this);
}
#SuppressWarnings("restriction")
#Override
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
//UIEvents.EventTags.ELEMENT is trigger for all UI activity
Object property = event.getProperty(UIEvents.EventTags.ELEMENT);
if (!(property instanceof PerspectiveStackImpl)) {
return;
}
// Reset perspective logic .
IEclipseContext serviceContext = E4Workbench.getServiceContext();
final IEclipseContext appContext = (IEclipseContext) serviceContext.getActiveChild();
EModelService modelService = appContext.get(EModelService.class);
MApplication application = serviceContext.get(MApplication.class);
MWindow mWindow = application.getChildren().get(0);
PerspectiveStackImpl perspectiveStack = (PerspectiveStackImpl) property;
List<MPerspective> children = perspectiveStack.getChildren();
for (MPerspective myPerspective : children) {
if (myPerspective.getElementId().equals(MY_PERSPECTIVE_ID)) {
//find active perspective
MPerspective activePerspective = modelService.getActivePerspective(mWindow);
if(activePerspective.getElementId().equals(MY_PERSPECTIVE_ID))
//Reseting perspective e3 way
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().resetPerspective();
// till now there is no direct e4 way to reset perspective
// but u can Add and remove e4 perspective with this code code
EPartService partService = serviceContext.get(EPartService.class);
MPerspectiveStack perspectiveStack = (MPerspectiveStack) (MElementContainer<?>) activePerspective.getParent();
int indexOf = perspectiveStack.getChildren().indexOf(activePerspective);
perspectiveStack.getChildren().remove(indexOf);
perspectiveStack.getChildren().add(myPerspective);
partService.switchPerspective(myPerspective);
}
}
}}

Simple way to decorate editor title image in Eclipse editor?

JDT and other plugins for Eclipse decorate the editor title image with problem status (compilation errors etc.). In my plugin I want to mimic that behaviour.
However, looking at the sources, JDT seems to do a lot of extra handling to do the decoration.
Decorators, especially lightweight ditto, is a handy way of doing decorations on icons, but I can find no way to programatically enable them for the title image of an editor. (And I don't want to pull in all of JDT UI in my plugin...)
Is there such a way or do I need to implement my own ILabelProvider and then
public void updatedTitleImage(Image image) {
setTitleImage(image);
}
like the JavaEditor does?
There seems to be no way to use decorators with the editor title image (as of 3.7 at least).
I ended up creating a EditorLabelUpdator which implemented the IResourceChangeListener interface (to find out when markers changed), basically the resourceChanged() method. It then uses a simple decorator-type class built from the pattern of OverlayImageIcon (of which you can find a lot of examples on Google).
The constructor is called from the initalization of the editor, sending the editor as a parameter which is saved for getting at the resource and its title icon.
The editor also had to be amended with a callback method triggering the title icon updating (updatedTitleImage(Image image)).
This is the core of the code I got:
public void resourceChanged(IResourceChangeEvent event) {
if (isMarkerChangeForResource(event, editor)) {
/* Changes in markers on this resource, so re-decorate title image */
decorate();
}
}
private boolean isMarkerChangeForResource(IResourceChangeEvent event, AlanEditor editor) {
boolean isMarkerChangeForThisResource;
final IResource resource = ResourceUtil.getResource(editor.getEditorInput());
final IPath path = resource.getFullPath();
IResourceDelta delta = event.getDelta().findMember(path);
isMarkerChangeForThisResource = (delta != null) && ((delta.getFlags() & IResourceDelta.MARKERS) != 0);
return isMarkerChangeForThisResource;
}
public void decorate() {
Shell shell = editor.getEditorSite().getShell();
if (shell != null && !shell.isDisposed()) {
shell.getDisplay().syncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Image decoratedImage = decorateImage(editor.getTitleImage(), getSeverity());
editor.updatedTitleImage(decoratedImage);
}
});
}
}
private Image decorateImage(Image titleImage, int severity) {
final ImageRegistry registry = AlanIDEPlugin.getDefault().getImageRegistry();
String key = createKey(severity);
ImageDescriptor descriptor = AlanIDEPlugin.getImageDescriptor(key);
if (descriptor != null)
return descriptor.createImage();
OverlayImageDescriptor overlayImageDescriptor = buildDecoratedImage(severity, key);
registry.put(key, overlayImageDescriptor);
return overlayImageDescriptor.createImage();
}
private String createKey(int severity) {
String key;
switch (severity) {
case IMarker.SEVERITY_ERROR: key = EDITOR_TITLE_ICON + ".error"; break;
case IMarker.SEVERITY_WARNING: key = EDITOR_TITLE_ICON + ".warning"; break;
default: key = EDITOR_TITLE_ICON; break;
}
return key;
}
private OverlayImageDescriptor buildDecoratedImage(int severity, String key) {
ImageDescriptor overlay = null;
if (severity >= IMarker.SEVERITY_ERROR)
overlay = AlanIDEPlugin.getImageDescriptor("ovr16.error_ovr");
else if (severity == IMarker.SEVERITY_WARNING)
overlay = AlanIDEPlugin.getImageDescriptor("ovr16.warning_ovr");
ImageDescriptor baseImage = AlanIDEPlugin.getImageDescriptor(EDITOR_TITLE_ICON);
OverlayImageDescriptor overlayIcon = new OverlayImageDescriptor(baseImage);
if (overlay != null)
overlayIcon.addOverlay(overlay, IDecoration.BOTTOM_LEFT);
return overlayIcon;
}
private int getSeverity() {
int severity = 0;
try {
final IResource resource = ResourceUtil.getResource(editor.getEditorInput());
severity = resource.findMaxProblemSeverity(IMarker.PROBLEM, true, IResource.DEPTH_INFINITE);
} catch (CoreException e) {
// Might be a project that is not open
}
return severity;
}
This was the simplest solution I could come up with.
Yes, there is an extension point which you can use to achieve that. See the code below:
<!--define the decorator -->
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.decorators">
<decorator
adaptable="true"
class="org.example.PackageExplorerDecorator"
id="org.example.PackageExplorerDecorator"
label="File Decorator"
lightweight="true"
state="true">
<enablement>
<or>
<objectClass
name="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IMethod">
</objectClass>
<objectClass
name="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
</objectClass>
</or>
</enablement>
For the PackageExplorerDecorator: extends LabelProvider implements ILightweightLabelDecorator

GXT - ComoboBox with Multi select feature

I have a task to design a control of size ComboBox (GXT) with Multi-select feature. I tried to set CheckBoxListView using setView of ComboBox but did not seemed to work. Can anybody please guide me if there is any way using the GXT framework I can achieve this?
PS: I found a component called XComboBox in sencha forum (java class, source code) which works good, but cant be used as its under GNU GPL License
Thanks in advance!
Thanks #smiletolead for your guidance, I found a solution by integrating Dialog with CheckBoxListView and TriggerField class.
The complete code listing is..
package com.ui.test.client;
import java.util.List;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.data.ModelData;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.ComponentEvent;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.WindowEvent;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.WindowListener;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.store.ListStore;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.CheckBoxListView;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.Dialog;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.form.TriggerField;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.layout.FillLayout;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.Element;
public class MultiSelectComboBox extends TriggerField {
private Dialog checkBoxListHolder;
private CheckBoxListView listView;
private ListStore store;
private String delimiter = ",";
private boolean readOnly;
public MultiSelectComboBox() {
store = new ListStore();
listView = new CheckBoxListView();
}
#Override
protected void onTriggerClick(ComponentEvent ce) {
super.onTriggerClick(ce);
if(readOnly) {
return;
}
checkBoxListHolder.setSize(getWidth(), 200);
listView.setWidth(getWidth());
checkBoxListHolder.setPosition(getAbsoluteLeft(),
getAbsoluteTop() + getHeight());
if(checkBoxListHolder.isVisible()) {
checkBoxListHolder.hide();
}
else {
checkBoxListHolder.show();
}
}
#Override
protected void onRender(Element target, int index) {
super.onRender(target, index);
checkBoxListHolder = new Dialog();
checkBoxListHolder.setClosable(false);
checkBoxListHolder.setHeaderVisible(false);
checkBoxListHolder.setFooter(false);
checkBoxListHolder.setFrame(false);
checkBoxListHolder.setResizable(false);
checkBoxListHolder.setAutoHide(false);
checkBoxListHolder.getButtonBar().setVisible(false);
checkBoxListHolder.setLayout(new FillLayout());
checkBoxListHolder.add(listView);
listView.setStore(store);
checkBoxListHolder.addWindowListener(new WindowListener(){
#Override
public void windowHide(WindowEvent we) {
setValue(parseCheckedValues(listView));
}
});
}
private String parseCheckedValues(CheckBoxListView checkBoxView) {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
if(checkBoxView != null) {
List selected = checkBoxView.getChecked();
int index = 1, len = selected.size();
for(D c : selected) {
buf.append(c.get(listView.getDisplayProperty()));
if(index getListView() {
return listView;
}
public void setListView(CheckBoxListView listView) {
this.listView = listView;
}
public ListStore getStore() {
return store;
}
public void setStore(ListStore store) {
this.store = store;
}
public String getDelimiter() {
return delimiter;
}
public void setDelimiter(String delimiter) {
this.delimiter = delimiter;
}
public boolean isReadOnly() {
return readOnly;
}
public void setReadOnly(boolean readOnly) {
this.readOnly = readOnly;
}
}
The code has been explained here...

Thank you!
Refer the examples listview and advanced list view. They may be of some help to you in developing combobox with multi select option

How to get a different context-menu showing on a TreeViewers header

I wish to let users toggle column's visibility in a TreeViewer. I already have a context menu bound to the right-click of my TreeViewer using ..
MenuManager.addMenuListener( new IMenuListener() ... );
.. but I can find no way of detecting when the right click is on the header of the table, rather than on the currently selected node. Down at the SWT level this is all possible, as is demonstrated by this snippet: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet312.java The JFace layer however may not expose it as far as I can see.
Your clues and other musings are most welcome
M.
Thanks for your example, it helped alot. Since I actually needed to know which column header was clicked, I built upon your code and came to the following solution (which also works in case the original column ordering was changed by dragging):
import org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TreeViewer;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.MenuDetectEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.MenuDetectListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Point;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Rectangle;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Tree;
public class TreeColumnHeaderMenuDetectListener implements MenuDetectListener {
private Tree fTree;
private TreeViewer fTreeViewer;
public TreeColumnHeaderMenuDetectListener(TreeViewer treeViewer)
{
fTree = treeViewer.getTree();
fTreeViewer = treeViewer;
}
#Override
public void menuDetected(MenuDetectEvent event) {
Point curLoc = Display.getCurrent().map(null, fTreeViewer.getControl(), new Point(event.x, event.y));
Rectangle clientArea = fTree.getClientArea();
if (clientArea.y <= curLoc.y && curLoc.y < (clientArea.y + fTree.getHeaderHeight()) &&
clientArea.x <= curLoc.x && curLoc.x < (clientArea.x + clientArea.width)) {
int xOffset = 0; // Accumulates previous column widths
for (int colIdx : fTree.getColumnOrder()) {
int colWidth = fTree.getColumn(colIdx).getWidth();
// Check if cursor location lies within the current column
if (xOffset <= curLoc.x && curLoc.x < (xOffset + colWidth)) {
System.out.println("column header "+colIdx); // Your code goes here
break;
}
xOffset += colWidth;
}
}
}
}
Use it by registering with
tree.addMenuDetectListener(new TreeColumnHeaderMenuDetectListener(treeViewer))
for a given tree and corresponding treeViewer.
In the end, I wrote this class to listen to the underlying tree object, and tell me when the column headers had been clicked on ...
import org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TreeViewer;
public class HeaderClickDetector implements Listener
{
TreeViewer viewer;
private boolean headerClicked;
public HeaderClickDetector( TreeViewer viewer )
{
this.viewer = viewer;
}
public void handleEvent(Event event)
{
Point pt = Display.getCurrent().map(null, viewer.getControl(), new Point(event.x, event.y));
Rectangle clientArea = viewer.getTree().getClientArea();
headerClicked = (clientArea.y <= pt.y && pt.y < (clientArea.y + viewer.getTree().getHeaderHeight()));
}
public boolean isHeaderClicked()
{
return headerClicked;
}
}
