| There are two new ECF UI extension points: <b>org.eclipse.ecf.ui.configurationWizards</b> and <b>org.eclipse.ecf.ui.connectWizards</b>. |
| These two extension points allow provider implementations to specify wizard user interfaces for the creation/configuration and connection |
| of ECF IContainer instances. |
| <p></p> |
| Here's an exmample of using the <b>org.eclipse.ecf.ui.connectWizards</b> extension to supply a connect |
| wizard for a given container type name. The following would be placed in your plugin's plugin.xml: |
| <p></p> |
| <pre> |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.ecf.ui.connectWizards"> |
| <wizard |
| class="org.my.client.MyClientConnectWizard" |
| containerFactoryName="org.my.client" |
| id="my.client.connect.wizard" |
| name="My Client Connect Wizard" |
| icon="icons/connect.png"> |
| </wizard> |
| </extension> |
| </pre> |
| <p></p> |
| Note the <b>containerFactoryName</b> ("org.my.client"). This value must match the name of the provider container factory registered under the <b>org.eclipse.ecf.containerFactory</b> |
| extension point. The specified <b>class</b> ("org.my.client.MyClientConnectWizard") must implement the <b>org.eclipse.ecf.ui.IConnectWizard</b> interface. |
| <p></p> |
| Clients can then display this wizard using the following: |
| <p></p> |
| <pre> |
| ConnectWizardDialog cwd = new ConnectWizardDialog(window.getShell(), |
| window.getWorkbench(), new ContainerHolder(container, |
| ContainerFactory.getDefault().getDescriptionByName("org.my.client")); |
| cwd.open(); |
| </pre> |
| Where the container is a non-null IContainer instance to connect. |
| <p></p> |
| Here's a wizard used for the generic provider: |
