I am new to xtext, and i have created a DSL using xtext and i have generated the artifacts, which has generated the editor which has many features like content assist and syntax coloring now the problem is i want to embed the editor inside a dialog.
For achieving this im using EmbeddedEditor, i am able to get the embedded editor and place it in the dialog, but the embedded editor is not displaying the contents of the file.
The file C:/Eclipse_Work/workspace/runtime_workspace/apa/ex.mydsl contains:
import com.ex.test;
entity{
element a;
}
The code in the createcontrol() of dialog is :
IEditedResourceProvider resourceProvider=new IEditedResourceProvider() {
@Override
public XtextResource createResource() {
try {
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(URI.createURI("C:/Eclipse_Work/workspace/runtime_workspace/apa/ex.mydsl"));
XtextResource resource2=(XtextResource)resource;
return (XtextResource) resource;
} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
}
}
};
MyDslActivator activator = MyDslActivator.getInstance();
Injector injector = activator
.getInjector(MyDslActivator.COM_APAMA_STUDIO_QUERY_EXT_MYDSL);
@SuppressWarnings("restriction")
EmbeddedEditorFactory factory = injector.getInstance(EmbeddedEditorFactory.class);
EmbeddedEditor handle= factory.newEditor(resourceProvider).withParent(
composite);
EmbeddedEditorModelAccess partialEditor= handle.createPartialEditor();
handle.getViewer().getControl().setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL, GridData.FILL, true, true, 2, 0));
When i run the project the dialog opens with a editor area but it is not displaying the code present in ex.mydsl, the editor is empty.
Please tell me how to show the code in the embedded editor
