eclipse plugin for modeler
Hi there!
I'd like you to introduce this demo of the
cayenne-modeler-eclipse-plugin(Research-eclipse-plugin-for-opening-cayenne-modeler.patch
at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-1392 ).
This works like an editor now. So, to open the modeler from eclipse
you should select the existing cayenne*.xml in your eclipse project
and after the right click on it choose the "Open With/Other" command.
Then in the wizard of "Editor selection"("Internal editors" option)
choose "Cayenne Modeler Eclipse Plugin".
This will run Cayenne Modeler on the same jvm as your Eclipse is
running. Cayenne Modeler will open the project of cayenne*.xml you've
selected and will update the corresponding eclipse project every time
you save the project in modeler. Buttons and menues corresponding to
creating of new project or opening some another project are disabled.
Command "Close Project" will force the modeler to quit. Also when you
save the project in modeler the dialog of generating classes appears
for every dataMap existing at the project. Now there are no any
restrictions on opening any file in the eclipse workspace with this
editor, and if the file you attempt to open is not match cayenne*.xml
this will force the Modeler to be opened with the default view of
choosing the project.

As I said, you can go into the file assocations section and map
cayenne.xml to the plugin by default.
And you can add an association for *.cayenne.xml as well.
There's no need to change the .xml ending.
I have not looked at the plugin, but I would expect you could do all
of this without changing any plugin code.

We have this flexibility in 3.1. We've already renamed cayenne.xml to
cayenne-domainname.xml, so the user perceptions are going to be
affected anyways. We will also need an extension for DataMap files
then (and luckily there's no more .node.xml in 3.1).
Still some considerations against it:
* those files are plain XML (this is not a new file format), and it
would be nice for generic XML editors (and users) to recognize them as
such.
* .cayenne looks long. ideally a 2-3 letter extension should be used,
and most of those are taken, so there is a chance of confusion with
some other file formats.
* web.xml and pom.xml are easily recognized by the corresponding
Eclipse plugins. So it is not impossible for Cayenne files to be
recognized by the plugin. After all we have a clear naming pattern:
cayenne-[^\.]+\.xml and ^.+\.map\.xml

That's part of the reason why I wanted to start storing the model

I've tried to do this but there is a problem that by default it's possible
to add a restriction to the extension of the file opening by editor plugin.
But sure, there should be solution for that and I intend to find it.

Yes, such an option is supported by the Click eclipse plugin for opening

Just to clarify, do you see these popups at modeler or at eclipse? it should
be updated at eclipse automatically without any promts. If this is referred
to modeler - yes, I haven't changed default behavior, and it is "TODO" task

Now the class generation works automatically on save and these dialogs allow
user to cancel the genetating if there's no need at it, but ofcourse you are
right and we should show popups only if we really need the generating

Not sure if this is a complete solution, but have you tried setting
the default editor for "cayenne.xml" (if that's still the name in 3.0)
to the plugin?
Re: eclipse plugin for modeler
Posted by Andrey Razumovsky <ra...@gmail.com>.
Hello,
The idea of opening modeler in same JVM is nice. Thus we can integrate our
Swing application to Eclipse lifecycle. My comments are inline.
(0). (not linked with plugin) After upgrading my 3.0 project to version 6,
DataSourceFactory was not set (to DriverDataSourceFactory). Combobox in
modeler showed XMLPoolingDataSourceFactory (which is not in dropdown liswt
BTW) and project could not be saved ("datanode location not defined). Manual
changing to DriverDataSourceFactory solved the problem.
(1) Can we have menu item Open With -> Cayenne Modeler so that user wouldn't
have to choose "Other..." dialog every time?
(2). "Cayenne Project" item in "New" dialog would be a very good way to
create new projects.
(3). When saving dialog, irritating dialog popups saying that project files
were changed in on disk [in eclipse]. This is not correct as files were
changed in CM, so there must be a hack to override the behavior (e.g. manual
changing dates in ProjectWatchdog FileInfo's)
(4) Classgen dialogs are little irritating as well, especially if there are
no changes in classes themselves (e.g. chaging schema name). This is
actually a problem I've been facing for a long time, I think we need to
track changes of ObjEntities and show popup dialog if there are some (and
check only them). Also classgen dialogs show on top of validation errors,
not sure this is fine.
(5). If something else than datamap is selected in tree (e.g. dataNode),
project does not save
My conclusion is that, a little improved, the plugin will be definitely
useful and I vote it to be part of Cayenne (integrated in SVN for the start)

Re: eclipse plugin for modeler
Posted by Andrus Adamchik <an...@objectstyle.org>.
I want to try when I have a bit more time, but good point, this can be
a problem in a non-Windows L&F. I guess we can completely take over
the menu creation in CM, and attach the menus to Eclipse (or maybe it
just works somehow???)
Anyways, the same VM operation is very promising - we don't need to
redo CM as a plugin, and we don't need to write Eclipse/CM network
communication protocol. Instead we just embed it and only write the
glue code in the plugin (which is exactly what Ksenia did in this
demo). I guess this will require some refactoring of the CM startup
and configuration, which I wish we'd do regardless.

I'm curious if you have tried this on OS X? If you are running in the
same JVM as Eclipse, then I suspect there will be OS X issues due to
the menus.
Thanks,
