[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (GPD-67) GPD support for editing non-files (any IEditorInput, not just FileEditorInput)

GPD support for editing non-files (any IEditorInput, not just FileEditorInput) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: GPD-67 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/GPD-67 Project: JBoss jBPM GPD Issue Type: Feature Request Components: jpdl Reporter: John Ruud Assigned To: Koen Aers Priority: Minor Fix For: jBPM jPDL Designer 4.0.x We need to edit process defs that are stored in a DB, as opposed to the processdefinition.xml, gpd.xml files stored in the workspace. There are currently many dependencies to FileEditorInput/File throughout GPD (as is the case for a lot of other Eclipse editors BTW). It would be very helpful if it would be feasible to separate out the code that deals with a particular type of IEditorInput from the rest of the editor, possibly into a separete delegate class. For FileEditorInput the delegate would deal with reading, writing, and syncronizing the view (resource listeners), plus whatever else I may have forgotten. We could then replace the default "file" delegate with our own that knows how to deal our DB (by subclassing of the editor would be fine). Probably not the #1 GPD issue for many other users, but hopefully something you would keep in mind...
