About Editor Extensions

In this thread - Re: SDK Schemas have moved - but where? a new question was asked about Editor XML Extensions.
Nice thing about the XML for editor extensions is that they are almost identical to SQL Developer Reports. So if you want to write one, start by writing a report that does what you want the editor to do. Probably, you will want the report's base query to use a bind variable as an input parameter. Once the report looks the way you want, export the report to an XML file. Then use that file as the starting point for developing your editor extension.

I, too, am trying to figure out how to open a given file in Eclipse with the application of my choice. Note that I might have several applications that I might want to use to open a given file, so a hard-coded solution of associating the extension with an application is not satisfactory.
My #1 request is to be able to bind a shortcut key to open a specific editor on the current window. For example, if I want to open it with Photoshop, press F2; with Vim, press F3, with my company's XML editor, press F4, etc.
I would also want to be able to open it from a global list of editors that I could register with Eclipse that are not necessarily known by the Windows operating system (because the editors are generic and not necessarily associated with a file extension).
I would do something like::
[context/right click] > Open with > [application name]
And, it would be very useful if the above has a way to specify arguments to the application (configurable in Window > Preferences).
If there isn't a simple way to do the above, there should be. But, so far, I haven't found a simple way to use a shortcut key to invoke an external application on an Eclipse window not using hard-coded file extension associations.
Please let me know if there is some plugin or technique that can be added or easily instrumented to provide this very basic want.

  • Confused about kernel extensions

    I've learned two things about kernel extensions from Google searches:
    1. Kernel extensions are stored in System/Library/Extensions
    2. You can list all Apple extensions with the Terminal command kextstat and all third party extensions with the command kextstat | grep -v com.apple.
    But something doesn't add up: the files listed by the kextstat command all begin with "com.apple". No files in System/Library/Extensions begin with "com.apple". In fact, none of the kernel extensions listed by the kextstat command seem to reside in System/Library/Extensions. So where are they?

    I have the following result with the terminal command kextstat
    Index Refs Address            Size       Wired      Name (Version) <Linked Against>
      111    0 0xffffff7f80b71000 0x5000     0x5000     com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower (1.6.6) <101 5 4 3>
      126    0 0xffffff7f820f4000 0x3000     0x3000     com.bresink.driver.BRESINKx86Monitoring (9.0) <5 4 3>
    I found the Soundflower driver in /System/Library/Extensions/
    But ccould not find the other one BRESINKx86Monitoring anywhere .
    where is it hidden?

  • Editor extensions questions

    We use editor extensions for several types of objects. It's not clear how to add extensions to PL/SQL objects and triggers.
    In my XML file I use for PL/SQL objects : node="PlSqlBaseNode"
    When I open a package/procedure/function SQL Developer is only showing my first PL/SQL extension. My second extension is not visible when I open a package, procedure or function.
    This is the case in 3.0 and 3.1EAx.
    1. Is this a bug or do I need another node or objectType in the XML file?
    2. How to add extensions for triggers? Which node or objectType is needed?
    3. How to create a vertical layout (like the Details tab for tables)? vertical=true doesn't work.
    4. Is there a description (or XSD) of which elements/attributes can be used in the XML file for editor extensions? (this could also answer 2 & 3).

    Can someone please answer these questions?

  • Code Snippets in MEF Editor extension VS2012

    I am trying to implement code snippets with a MEF editor extension, I followed the walkthrough "Implementing Code Snippets" from the link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff926100(v=vs.110).aspx
    The implementation is based on the walkthrough Displaying Statement Completion. This feature works fine.
    The first section of "Implementing Code Snippets" is "Creating and Registering Code Snippets" which does not work. At the end of the section is the step 8:
    Build and run the project. In the experimental instance of Visual Studio that starts when the project is run, the snippet you just registered
    should be displayed in the Code Snippets Manager under
    the TestSnippets language.
    There are no errors, but the Code Snippets Manager does not display the TestSnippets language, and as a consequence the snippets are not there. I have been stuck for a few weeks now with this, and could not find resources to understand the issue.
    Any idea on how to overcome this issue will be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have to say that I can reproduce your issue on my machine via the steps provided in the walkthrough. However, I finally add that code snippets to C# language not that custom TestSnippets language.
    Here are some modifications which are made on my side, maybe these listed items can be helpful for you to trouble-shoot your issue:
    1). Delete the following line from the test.snippet file.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    2). Edit the test.snippet file, set <Code Language="CSharp">
    3). Edit the SnippetIndex.xml file, set  <Language Lang="CSharp" Guid="{694DD9B6-B865-4C5B-AD85-86356E9C88DC}">
    4). Edit the SnippetUtilities class, and set
    internal const string LanguageServiceGuidStr = "694DD9B6-B865-4C5B-AD85-86356E9C88DC";
    5). Then build and run your project again. And this time you should get the snippet under C# language.
    Thanks.

  • V. 9.1.1 - error about an extension being lost

    What does this mean because when I closed this window another came up and said iTunes installed ok.?
    Thanks.

    what's your version of iTunes ? go iTunes > about iTunes and check if you're on 9.1.1 (11).
    if so, get 9.1.1 (12) from here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and run the installer over the existing installation.

  • Help, about RECORD extension

    Hi, everyone.
    I've got a problem about getting changed area in screen while doing screen sampling.
    Someone tell me that I can use RECORD extension to record the changed area of screen.
    However, I can't find the way to get the coordinates and width and height of changed area form the return data struct.
    If you have an good suggestion, Please do me a favor!

    It might drop your speed slightly but probably not so much that you'd notice. If you use exterior grade Ethernet cable you can run it outside.

  • Does anyone here know anything about Safari extension development?

    About how much time does it take to develop a Sarari extension? About how much would it cost? I'd like an extension developer to develop a custom Safari extension for me if it didn't cost too much. Is this possible? Thank you.

    There are few third party solutions for this. Try and persuade her to tick an option where it does not block any websites, but it will still log and anything you visit and this log cannot be deleted or modified. It even logs when you are in private browsing! However it is really very simple to overide parental controls.
    I have had experience of this as my mum tried to do the exact same thing!

  • Question about warranty extension

    Hi
    I got my satellite pro from UK, but I am not residing there. I am trying to buy warranty extension, but all the sites require UK credit card address. I contacted reseller in Egypt who said that I have to buy it from UK not Egypt, is it true? and how can I buy one?

    Hi Adham
    As far as I know you can buy warranty extension in the country where you have bought your notebook. Maybe try to contact Authorized service Partner in UK and ask if you can buy it there. Money transfer should not be problem and the small box with warranty they can send you per post.

  • Question about Warranty extension on Satellite A300-1EI

    Good day.
    I need some information and assistance please.
    I bought a laptop around mid September 2008 in Saudi Arabia. (Jarir Bokstore). The store had a promotion whereby you get the standard one year international warranty BUT they give you a further extension of a year (hence, 2 years in total).
    I intended on purchasing an extended warranty for a three year period. I was told by the salesman that I can activate my "gift" warranty and later purchase another extendable warranty for a total of 4 year international coverage.
    I registered the given warranty and it appears on the toshiba warranty portal.
    However, when I returned to the store to purchase a further warranty extension I was told that you cannot register more than one warranty.
    I found this strange and therefore did not purchase the additional extended warranty yet. I need to know whether this is actually true or will I still be able to purchase an extended warranty again. Seems I run into a brick wall when I ask the salemen . . .thought I would try the forum instead.
    I need to get information from a reliable and trustworthy source.
    The other news they also gave me is that they are awaiting news from Toshiba regarding the same subject.
    Kindly assist.
    Thank you and eagerly awaiting a reply.

    Hi
    As far as I know all Toshiba notebooks are covered by warranty for one year (12 month).
    If you would register your notebook on the Toshiba European page you would get additional one year warranty; in total 2 years warranty.
    > The store had a promotion whereby you get the standard one year international warranty BUT they give you a further extension of a year (hence, 2 years in total).
    The additional one year of warranty is not a gift from the shop. You will get this additional year of warranty always if you would register the notebook. It has nothing to do with the place where you have purchase this notebook.
    So now some words regarding your warranty extensions;
    First of all you have to register your notebook on the Toshiba European page.
    This registration will enable the additional second year of warranty. (as mentioned above)
    Now if you want you can purchase further warranty packages.
    Toshiba provides different packages and in your case I would recommend checking this Toshiba European page for more details:

    Is there any way to extend or replace the build-in the WYSIWYG HTML editor ??
    Any contributions are welcome ..

  • Query about tag extensions and custom tags

    Hello,
    Can u please clarify me where are these tag extensions and custom tags are actually used. (in which conditions)
    What are the advantages in using them...
    thanks in advance..
    Jaagy.

    You have to remember that .tag are, in a way, jsp pages, so you can use other custom tags, etc.
    We use them when we need template that are mostly html, with a little bit of logic in them that we want to reuse.
    For example, we made one for or header and footer. In header.tag, we set all of our http info, from doctype to body, including default css, title, etc if they are not supplied as parameter, and in our footer we put the /body and /html tags. Now, our typical pages look like
    <%@ taglib tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" prefix="custom" %>
    <custom:header title="Page title" />
    ... page content
    <custom:footer />Now, if we want to change some attribute for the whole page, or to put a signature in each page, we just have to change the corresponding .tag file and the whole site is update.
    Also, .tag file can be used to display selectively page fragment.
    Take a look at Sun's tutorial for more info:

  • Odd Question about file extensions

    Hello, I have a strange question that I cannot seem to fix on my own.
    The other week I was messing around in my Utilities folder and I was clicking on some of the applications contained in that folder.
    When I closed out some of the programs that I had opened I noticed that all the files on my computer now have a suffix at the end of their names. Everything.
    So before an application would say, TechTool Pro 4 it now says TechTool Pro 4.app
    TextEdit.app, etc etc
    I know this is a minor thing but I would like to find a way to remove this suffix that I inadvertently applied to everything on my laptop.
    Thanks for the help

    See if this helps. Go to Finder choose Preferences then click Advanced. See if the *Show all file extensions* box is checked. If it is uncheck it.
