| <h2>Status handling</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| Status handling is a facility that |
| allow to introduce a custom way of showing problems in the product to users. |
| A part of the facility is an extension point which allows to plug new status handler |
| specific for the product. This handler associated to the product is intended |
| to present the problem in the useful for users way. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The status handling is contributed using <em>org.eclipse.ui.statusHandlers</em> extension point. |
| This contribution can be part of product plug-ins or can be provided separately in its own status handling plug-in. |
| Separating the product handler into a separate plug-in is beneficial in those situations |
| where the product and status handling are provided by different groups, e.g. CompanyA provides the ProductA |
| and other companies provide status handlers showing problems in ProductA differently. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| If there is no handler defined for the product, the facility will use a handler defined for application |
| in the workbench advisor. When the advisor shipped with Eclipse is used the |
| <em>WorkbenchErrorHandler</em> will be used for handling of the product problems. |
