| <h1>Open Type in Browser</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| This dialogs shows a tree outline of all Java packages and classes available in the Git repository index. |
| By default this index contains all Java packages and classes of each Git repository of every Eclipse-hosted project. |
| The filter field can be used to easily find specific classes or packages. |
| For example, entering "<tt>org.eclipse.jdt.ui.</tt>" will filter the top view to show only packages and classes whose qualified name contains "<tt>org.eclipse.jdt.ui.</tt>". |
| Similarly, entering "<tt>.JavaCore </tt>", note the space at the end, will filter the view to show only packages and classes with exactly the name "<tt>JavaCore</tt>". |
| The labels of items in the view are styled to show the matching characters in bold. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The search is generally case sensitive and similar to JDT's Open Type dialog, camel-case search is supported. |
| Entering "<tt>EPackage</tt>" will find all classes with this camel-case pattern. |
| The special characters <tt>*</tt>, and <tt>?</tt> match one or more characters or exactly one character, respectively. |
| A space at the start of the text will force the pattern to start matching at the start of the qualified name. |
| Similarly, a space at the end of the text will force the pattern to match up to the end of the qualified name. |
| A space in the middle of the text can be used to disable the camel-case matching behavior, |
| e.g., entering "<tt>.E Package </tt>" will match all classed with exactly the name "<tt>EPackage</tt>" |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The hover text of the top view shows the fully qualified name of the package or class; this is what the filter actually searches. |
| If there exists an Oomph Project setup for the corresponding Git clone, the item label will be decorated with the name of that setup and the hover text will include a link to it. |
| Clicking that link will open the Eclipse Importer with the corresponding Project setup selected. |
| This allows you to clone the Git repository and to import its projects into your workspace. |
| Double clicking a package item will expand it to its first contained class. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Selecting an item in the top view will populate the bottom view with links to web pages for browsing the selected package or class. |
| In the bottom view, the selected item of the top view is displayed as the root, with its fully qualified name. |
| Below that are one or more links to the web page for browsing the root of an available Git repository. |
| Below each of these are one or more links for browsing the specific selected package or class. |
| As in the top view, if there exists an Oomph Project setup, the item is decorated with the name of that setup. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The bottom view can be used to navigate to a web page, and, in the case that an Oomph Project setup exists, to open the Eclipse Importer. |
| Furthermore, if the item is for a Java class, the item can be used to open the Java editor. |
| This can be accomplished using the context menu, which includes the following menu items: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <em>Copy</em> will copy the link to the system clip board. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <em>Open in External Browser</em> will open the link in your configured external browser. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <em>Open in Editor</em> will open the link in an editor using the internal browser, if available. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <em>Open in View</em> will open the link in a view using the internal browser, if available. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <em>Open in Java Editor</em> will open the link's contents in the Java editor. This is present only for Java classes and then only if the repository browser supports plain/raw links. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <em>Open in Import Projects Wizard</em> will open the Eclipse Importer with the specified Project selected; this is only available if there exists a corresponding Oomph Project setup. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| The most recent "open" action used from the context menu is saved as a preference. |
| Double clicking an item in the bottom view will open it using this preferred style. |
| Similarly, selecting an item and pressing OK will also open the link using this preferred style. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Note that this dialog is non-modal so it can be kept open for longer term browsing. |
| Also note that the dialog can be docked on top of a view or editor in the Eclipse window. |
| If you drag the title area of the dialog and hover with the mouse exactly over top of the tab of a view or editor, |
| the mouse cursor will change, and releasing the mouse will cause the dialog to be fitted to be exactly in the area bounds of the view or editor. |
| The dialog will remain docked and will resize to fit the view or editor boundary when the main window is moved or resized, and even when changing perspectives. |
| To unlock it, simply drag it away from the docking site. |
