Re: [jbosstools-dev] Configure the Visual Page Editor palette in JBoss Tools

Be warned that the palette and visual jsf editing is being phased out/deprecated since it relies on xulrunner which are no longer portable/available in a stable form.

Hi, I am investigating the internal code in JBoss Tools, in particular, the pieces that fill up the Palette view. I have checked out the source code of the plugins, but I am having a hard time finding out how the Palette view is filled with the different options. For instance, when running an Eclipse instance with JBoss Tools, I can see the palette view is filled with the same options expected from the manual page at [1] But I'm having a hard time to find in the source code how the data to fill this tree of categories is found. I have traced the code, and I see that the categories are fetched as an XModel / Preference Model [2]. So, if the palette view shows the categories HTML, JBoss, JSF, Oracle ADF and others, I would expect to find an XML or Properties file that described those. Can someone give me any pointers on how the current code finds those categories ? Another question is, I'm currently checking if we can extend the plugin to add new categories and items in the Palette; can you give me some hint on how to approach this task ?
