  1. POEclipse plugin with custom validation
    text
    copied!<p>I'm new to Eclipse plugin development, but I've been able to cobble together a plugin that defines a content type and a corresponding editor. I've gotten custom content assist going, so I know the editor is coming up okay.</p> <p>My problem is that I need to create some custom validation for files of this content type, and I've found scant information. The only example I could find that has Java code is here: <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/components/sse/tutorials/source-validation.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/components/sse/tutorials/source-validation.html</a> .</p> <p>Unfortunately, copying this technique yields no results. My validator class is never even invoked.</p> <p>Here are the relevant parts of my <code>plugin.xml</code>:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code> &lt;extension point="org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes"&gt; &lt;content-type base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml" file-extensions="xml" id="com.palantir.eclipse.kite.contenttype.kite" name="Kite File" priority="normal"&gt; &lt;describer class="org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.XMLRootElementContentDescriber"&gt; &lt;parameter name="element" value="kite"&gt;&lt;/parameter&gt; &lt;/describer&gt; &lt;/content-type&gt; &lt;/extension&gt; &lt;extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors"&gt; &lt;editor name="Kite XML Editor" icon="icons/smalllogo.gif" contributorClass="org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.BasicTextEditorActionContributor" class="com.palantir.eclipse.kite.plugin.editor.KiteXmlEditor" id="com.palantir.eclipse.kite.plugin.editor.KiteXmlEditor"&gt; &lt;contentTypeBinding contentTypeId="com.palantir.eclipse.kite.contenttype.kite"&gt; &lt;/contentTypeBinding&gt; &lt;/editor&gt; &lt;/extension&gt; &lt;extension point="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.sourcevalidation"&gt; &lt;validator scope="total" class="com.palantir.eclipse.kite.plugin.validator.KiteValidator" id="com.palantir.eclipse.kite.plugin.validator.KiteValidator"&gt; &lt;contentTypeIdentifier id="com.palantir.eclipse.kite.contenttype.kite"&gt; &lt;partitionType id="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ST_DEFAULT" /&gt; &lt;/contentTypeIdentifier&gt; &lt;/validator&gt; &lt;/extension&gt; </code></pre> <p>And the validator file:</p> <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code> package com.palantir.eclipse.kite.plugin.validator; import org.eclipse.jface.text.IDocument; import org.eclipse.jface.text.IRegion; import org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.internal.reconcile.validator.ISourceValidator; import org.eclipse.wst.validation.internal.provisional.core.IReporter; import org.eclipse.wst.validation.internal.provisional.core.IValidationContext; import org.eclipse.wst.validation.internal.provisional.core.IValidator; public class KiteValidator implements ISourceValidator, IValidator { public KiteValidator() { System.out.println("Initialized KiteValidator"); } public void cleanup(IReporter reporter) { System.out.println("Inside KiteValidator"); } public void validate(IValidationContext context, IReporter reporter) { System.out.println("Inside KiteValidator"); } public void connect(IDocument document) { System.out.println("Inside KiteValidator"); } public void disconnect(IDocument document) { System.out.println("Inside KiteValidator"); } public void validate(IRegion region, IValidationContext context, IReporter reporter) { System.out.println("Inside KiteValidator"); } } </code></pre>
