RussianQuestion
I am using the Eclipse which version as following:
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Indigo Service Release 1
Build id: 20110916-0149
It includes an XML Editor plugin, my question is: Where is the source code for the XML Editor?
Can anybody give me an URL for getting the source code of the XML Editor?
Solution
Whenever you have a question about where the source for a plugin is in Eclipse, you can use a little known hidden feature in Eclipse called the Plugin Spy.
Put your cursor focus on whatever you are interested in inside Eclipse and hit Alt+Shift+F1.
In the case of the XML Editor the result looks like the image below. As you can see, the plugin is org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui, and it even gives you the class to start with (XMLMultiPageEditorPart).
There is some great additional detail on finding and working with Eclipse source here: http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseCodeAccess/article.html#swt_spy
OTHER TIPS
Since the support for CVS is/will be stopped. You could also get access to the source by using Git.
- For Git access, you need a user account: https://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/createaccount.php
- You need the right URL to "clone" the repository: http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/sourceediting/webtools.sourceediting.git
Your best bet is to check out the source code. It is available in a cvs repository here:
:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/webtools
In the /sourceediting/plugins/ directory, check out the following plugins:
- org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui
- org.eclipse.wst.xml.core
- org.eclipse.wst.sse.core
- org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui
The first two contain code specific to the xml support, and the second two projects contain general structured text editing code.
