Build Definitions UI Extensions

Identifier:

org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.buildDefinitionsUI

Since:

8.0

Description:

This extension point allows for the contribution of various UI extensions which can be referenced from the org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions extensions. Via this extension point, for example, the developer may contribute a custom JFace field-editor, which can then be referenced by its ID from an <option> element of an org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions extension.

Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension (fieldEditor*)>

<!ATTLIST extension

point CDATA #REQUIRED

id CDATA #IMPLIED

name CDATA #IMPLIED>

<!ELEMENT fieldEditor EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST fieldEditor

id CDATA #REQUIRED

class CDATA #REQUIRED>

This element can be used to contribute a custom JFace field-editor to represent a build-option in the project Properties dialog UI. Contributing a custom field-editor through this element is not enough - the custom field-editor must also be referenced by its ID from an <option> element of an org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions extension.

id - A unique identifier which will be used to reference this field-editor from an <option> element of an org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions extension.
class - Specifies the Java class which implements the custom field-editor. This class must extend JFace's FieldEditor abstract class, and implement the ICustomBuildOptionEditor2 interface.
