Re: Gsoc Project Update

Thanks. I got it. I have another problem in implementing plugin actions
classes. We can register external Actions to actionMap in
DefaultActionManager class. So I registered PlugingProject class and add
that class in to file menu of CayenneModelerFrame and run my plugin. Then it
seems project close action is menu item is disabled .I think I need add
PluginProjectAction class   following in DefaultActionManager class.

  static final Collection<String> PROJECT_ACTIONS = Arrays.asList(
            RevertAction.class.getName(),
            ProjectAction.class.getName(),
            ValidateAction.class.getName(),
            SaveAsAction.class.getName(),
            FindAction.class.getName());

Here I should add my PluginProjectAction class. I have extended
PluginActionManager from DefaultActionManager class. Since this is a static
this list is not inherited to child class and also we can not add any thing
since it is final. How to overcome this issue ? We can do this by modifying
parent class ( DefaultActionManager class ) and I am not sure whether it is
a good approach or not. Now I am working on this.

Thanks.

Hi

The current plugin could be committed after some cleanup and making
PluginActionManager to extend from DefaultActionManager(instead of
implementing ActionManager). the last require some changes in
DefaultActionManager(got rid of static final variables).

Eshan, as for the cleanup - remove all the meaningless comments, useless
imports, etc. Add the javadocs for the important methods(Ideally, we need
javadocs for all our code).

Re: Gsoc Project Update

Hi Eshan,

Thanks for your work on the plugin. Ksenia showed me the latest version of the plugin on her machine (we happen to work for the same company with her). Very nice progress.

A question to both Ksenia and Eshan - is there anything committable at this point? I haven't seen any of that going to SVN yet. Would be nice if we start committing this code.

Cheers,
Andrus

Re: Gsoc Project Update

Posted by Andrus Adamchik <an...@objectstyle.org>.
I have no problem if we change DefaultActionManager etc. on the Cayenne end to be easily extendable class. CayenneModeler configuration of internal classes has lots of shortcuts, as it never assumed other apps using or extending this code. Now it is time to evolve it.

Re: Gsoc Project Update

Posted by Ksenia Khailenko <xe...@tut.by>.
Andrus, look at this one, please. We have the DefaultActionManager with
final property which we want to override. It is possible to create an
another implementation of ActionManager, but in fact in this case, we
duplicate a lot of code...

Re: Gsoc Project Update

Posted by Eshan Sudharaka <es...@gmail.com>.
Yes. It is possible. I have attached patch files with this. For this patch I
had to add default constructors to following  classes.

CayenneController.java
CayenneModelerController.java

trunk.patch includes this modification (Actualy no need to apply trunk.patch
just add default constructors to those clases)

Second patch includes the modifications included in this thread.
