| <h1>Creation of Common Navigator View</h1> |
| <p> |
| In order to use the CNF-based view in the application several steps are required which are discussed below. The created view can be |
| configured by binding specific content and actions to it, which is discussed in the <a href="cnf_steps_content.htm">Content and Action Binding</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The example plugin <code>org.eclipse.ui.examples.navigators.resources</code> shows this.</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Add the following as dependent plug-ins: |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>org.eclipse.ui</code></li> |
| <li><code>org.eclipse.ui.navigator</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Add a View extension (<code>org.eclipse.ui.views</code>) and provide <code>org.eclipse.ui.navigator.CommonNavigator</code> |
| as the value of <code>class</code> attribute. Please note, that the <code>id</code> of the view will be required in later steps |
| for the content and action bindings. |
| <pre> |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.ui.views"> |
| <view |
| name="View" |
| class="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.CommonNavigator" |
| id="example.view"> |
| </view> |
| </extension> |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| Please note, that if you are defining your own perspective in which the Common |
| Navigator is used, the <code>showTitle</code> parameter must be set to <code>true</code> |
| in order the viewer renders correctly (see <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=235171" target="_blank">bug 235171</a>). |
