| |
| <h3> |
| Introduction</h3> |
| The Template Editor example demonstrates how to add template support to an editor. The example is |
| based on the PDE example editor project that can be created using the new project wizard. The editor |
| is a simple XML editor; it is only for demonstration purposes. |
| <h3> |
| <b>Features demonstrated in the template editor</b></h3> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| creating a template context for an editor</li> |
| |
| <li> |

| |
| <li> |
| contributing a context type and variable resolvers to an editor via plugin.xml</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| contributing templates to a context type via plugin.xml</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| adding a preference page for handling templates, both contributed and user-added</li> |

| <h3> |
| Code organization of the template editor example</h3> |
| The example code is organized in three packages: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <tt>org.eclipse.ui.examples.templateeditor.editors</tt> contains all the editor specific |
| classes. See <code>XMLConfiguration</code> to see how the <code>TemplateCompletionProcessor</code> |
| is added in the <code>getContentAssistant</code> method.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <tt>org.eclipse.ui.examples.templateeditor.preferences</tt> contains the contributed template |
| preference page.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <tt>org.eclipse.ui.examples.templateeditor.template</tt> contains the example context type, the |
| completion processor and the variable resolver that is contributed via plugin.xml.</li> |
| </ul> |
