<td class="content">
- JFace-based applications that use the standard<br/>
- <code>org.eclipse.jface.resource.ImageDescriptor#createFromURL(URL)</code><br/>
- API to create icon images already support high-DPI icons out of the box:
+ A new extensible <b>Generic Editor</b> has been added which makes it easier
+ to implement an editor for new languages or new content types. It reuses
+ the existing Eclipse editor infrastructure. The generic editor can be extended using
+ extension points instead of implementing an editor to supply required functionality.
+ <p>The following example shows how to contribute features to the generic editor via extensions:</p>
+ <pre>
+<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.genericeditor.contentAssistProcessors">
+ <contentAssistProcessor
+ class="org.eclipse.ui.genericeditor.examples.dotproject.NaturesAndProjectsContentAssistProcessor"
+ contentType="org.eclipse.ui.genericeditor.examples.dotproject">
+ </contentAssistProcessor>
+</extension>

+ <hoverProvider
+ class="org.eclipse.ui.genericeditor.examples.dotproject.NatureLabelHoverProvider"
+ contentType="org.eclipse.ui.genericeditor.examples.dotproject"
+ id="natureLabelHoverProvider">
+ </hoverProvider>
+</extension>
+<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.genericeditor.presentationReconcilers">
+ <presentationReconciler
+ class="org.eclipse.ui.genericeditor.examples.dotproject.BlueTagsPresentationReconciler"
+ contentType="org.eclipse.ui.genericeditor.examples.dotproject">
+ </presentationReconciler>
+</extension></pre>
+ <p>
+ Those new extension points receive as arguments regular Platform classes (<code>IPresentationReconcilier, ITextHover, ICompletionProposalComputer</code>)
+ to add behavior to the generic editor. No new Java API is necessary.
+ </p>
+
+
+ Here is a simple example of adding some minimal Gradle syntax highlighting support:
+ <pre><code>
+public class GradlePR extends PresentationReconciler {
+
+ private IToken quoteToken = new Token(new TextAttribute(new Color(Display.getCurrent(), new RGB(139, 69, 19))));
+ private IToken numberToken = new Token(new TextAttribute(new Color(Display.getCurrent(), new RGB(0, 0, 255))));
+ private IToken commentToken = new Token(new TextAttribute(new Color(Display.getCurrent(), new RGB(0, 100, 0))));
+
+ public GradlePR() {
+ RuleBasedScanner scanner = new RuleBasedScanner();
+
+ IRule[] rules = new IRule[5];
+ rules[0] = new SingleLineRule("'", "'", quoteToken);
+ rules[1] = new SingleLineRule("\"","\"", quoteToken);
+ rules[2] = new PatternRule("//", null, commentToken, (char)0, true);
+ rules[3] = new NumberRule(numberToken);
+
+ rules[4] = new GradleWordRule();
+
+ scanner.setRules(rules);
+
+ DefaultDamagerRepairer dr = new DefaultDamagerRepairer(scanner);
+ this.setDamager(dr, IDocument.DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE);
+ this.setRepairer(dr, IDocument.DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE);
+ }
+
+}
+ </code></pre>
+ The above example shows that it is relatively simple to supply the rules for syntax highlighting.
+ The generic editor picks-up those through the extension points. <br />Here is the editor in action:

+ Neon (4.6), only <code>ImageDescriptor#createFromURL(URL)</code>

<p>
- Just append "@2x" to the file name and place the high-DPI icons
- into the same folder as the original icon. If you use OSGi bundles, you can also put the icons into a fragment
- that contains the same folder structure.
+ Clients that use <code>DecorationOverlayIcon</code> will get HiDPI support for free.
+ Subclasses of <code>CompositeImageDescriptor</code> will have to update their implementation of
+ <code>#drawCompositeImage(int, int)</code> to use the new <code>#drawImage(ImageDataProvider, int, int)</code>
+ method to draw the elements of the composite image.
</p>
+ Old code:
+ <pre>
+protected void drawCompositeImage(int width, int height) {
+ // draw overlay in top-right corner:
+ <b>ImageData</b> imageData = myImageDescriptor.<b>getImageData()</b>;
+ drawImage(imageData, width - imageData<b>.width</b>, 0);

+ <pre>
+protected void drawCompositeImage(int width, int height) {
+ // draw overlay in top-right corner:
+ <b>CachedImageDataProvider</b> provider =
+ <b>createCachedImageDataProvider</b>(myImageDescriptor);
+ drawImage(provider, width - provider<b>.getWidth()</b>, 0);
+}

- Example:<br/>
- 100%: newclass_wiz.png<br/>
- 200%: newclass_wiz@2x.png
+ Hint: Use <code>CompositeImageDescriptor<span style="visibility:hidden">­</span>#createCachedImageDataProvider(<span style="visibility:hidden">­</span>Image<span style="visibility:hidden">­</span>/ImageDescriptor)</code> to create an
+ <code>ImageDataProvider</code>. To calculate the width and height of the image
+ that is about to be drawn, you can use
+ <code>CachedImageDataProvider<span style="visibility:hidden">­</span>#getWidth()/<span style="visibility:hidden">­</span>getHeight()</code>. These methods
+ already return values in SWT points, so that your code doesn't have to
+ deal with device-dependent pixel coordinates.

+ A new constructor

+ <p>
+ This supports the same API and methods as the usual <code>ContentAssist</code>, so shifting from synchronous/blocking <code>ContentAssistant</code> to asynchronous one only requires

- <td class="content">
- SWT has added a new <code>requestLayout()</code> method to the <code>Control</code> and <code>Composite</code> classes.
- This method does essentially the same thing as <pre> <code>widget.getShell().layout(new Control[] {widget}, SWT.DEFER);</code> </pre>
- <p>
- The snippet, above, is currently the most efficient method of triggering layouts in SWT,
- but most developers are unaware of this. Most Eclipse developers invoke <code>Composite.layout()</code>,
- which is worse in the sense of performance. This new API is intended to make it easier for developers
- to adopt the more efficient mechanism as opposed to using <code>Composite#layout()</code>.
- </p>
- <p>
- However, be aware that changing existing invocations of <code>layout()</code> to <code>requestLayout()</code>
- may break code that assumes that controls are completely sized and positioned at a certain point in time.

- Note that this style bit is a hint.

- A new text direction constant <code>SWT.AUTO_TEXT_DIRECTION</code> has been introduced to indicate

- <p>
- Auto text direction was introduced in the Mars (4.5) release as a bitwise OR of

- and it was already implemented in all native controls.
- Now, <code>SWT.AUTO_TEXT_DIRECTION</code> is a dedicated SWT constant for this.

- Behavior: When <code>SWT.AUTO_TEXT_DIRECTION</code> is set, the text direction is derived from the direction of the first strong Bidi character.

- SWT now automatically scales images on high-DPI monitors on Windows and Linux, similar to the Mac's Retina support on OS X.
- In the absence of high-resolution images, SWT will auto-scale the available images to ensure that SWT-based applications like Eclipse
- are scaled proportionately to the resolution of the monitor.
+ A new extensible <b>Generic Editor</b> has been added which makes it easier
+ to implement an editor for new languages or new content types. It reuses
+ the existing Eclipse editor infrastructure. The generic editor can be extended using

- <p>Padding: By default, SWT menus now look similar to those in OS X: Text is not strictly aligned.
- This is due to a new way in which menus are constructed in GTK3 (see <a href="https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GMenu#Icons">
- https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GMenu#Icons</a> for more details). In order to align all text entries in a menu, simply launch
- the SWT application with the environment variable <b>SWT_PADDED_MENU_ITEMS=1</b>.</p>
- <p>Checkboxes and images: On GTK2.x, a menu entry was limited to either a checkbox <i>or</i> an image.
- On GTK3, SWT now supports menu entries that contain both an image and a checkbox.</p>

- <td class="title">Tweaking SWT's auto-scaling</td>
- <td class="content">
- If you don't like SWT's default appearance on HiDPI monitors, here are a few hints to
- tweak the scaling:
- <p>
- On <b>GTK</b>, the standard way to configure scaling for a single application is to set the
- <code>GDK_DPI_SCALE</code> environment variable before launching an application.
- E.g. to set the scale factor to 150% on the command line when launching Eclipse:
- </p>
- <pre><b>$ GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.5 ./eclipse</b></pre>
- <p>
- On <b>Windows</b> and <b>GTK</b>, SWT's auto-scaling can be configured using the <code>swt.autoScale</code>
- Java property. E.g. to disable auto-scaling and make the application behave like on Mars (4.5),
- add this VM argument in eclipse.ini or on the command line after <b><code>-vmargs</code></b>:
- </p>
- <pre><b>-Dswt.autoScale=false</b></pre>
- <p>
- And here are all the <code>swt.autoScale</code> arguments that are currently implemented:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>false</code>: scale factor is set to 100% (no scaling)</li>
- <li><code>integer</code>: scale factor depends on the current display resolution,
- but only uses integer multiples of 100%. The detected native zoom is
- generally rounded down (e.g. at 150%, will use 100%), unless close to
- the next integer multiple (currently at 175%, will use 200%).</li>
- <li><code>quarter</code>: scale factor depends on the current display resolution,
- but only uses integer multiples of 25%. The detected native zoom is
- rounded to the closest permissible value. (This used to be the default in
- the last two pre-release milestones.)</li>
- <li><code>exact</code>: scale factor is set to the native zoom (with 1% as minimal
- step).</li>
- <li><i><value></i>: scale factor uses the given integer value in
- percent as zoom level.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>
- The current default is "integer". Note that non-integer scale factors
- exhibit various problems like jagged borders or even completely missing images.
- </p>
- <p>
- The scaling method can be configured by setting the <b><code>swt.autoScale.method</code></b> system property to:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>nearest</code>: nearest-neighbor interpolation, may look jagged</li>
- <li><code>smooth</code>: smooth edges, may look blurry</li>
- </ul>
- <p>
- The current default is to use "nearest", except on
- GTK when the deviceZoom is not an integer multiple of 100%.
- The smooth strategy currently doesn't work on Windows and Mac OS X.
- </p>
- <p>
- Auto-scaling cannot be disabled on the Mac as it is provided by the OS.
