Java插件开发
我自从进入公司后，一直从事有关gef方面的开发工作，在这期间，走过不少弯路，仅仅是把GEF框架弄明白，就费了很大力气，所以，现在想写一点东西出来，供初学者阅读。
GEF(Graphical Editing Framework)是图形化编辑器开发的工具，比较典型的应用就是IBM 的Rose，它是一个模型驱动的MVC框架，控制器（EditPart）作为模型的侦听器，侦听模型的变化，如果模型的属性发生变化，它会通知控制器，控制器就会刷新模型对应的视图（Figure）。可以看出模型和视图之间没有直接联系，它们通过控制器而间接联系，可见控制器在gef框架中有着很重要的重要。
下面我们将从最基本的开始，介绍如何用GEF框架开发出一个流程设计器(开发工具Eclipse3.2.1包含插件包gef3.2.1和draw2d3.2.1)。
我们首先从模型开始，流程设计器顶层模型是流程（WorkflowProcess）,流程有活动和链接这些活动的转移组成，其中活动又可以分为开始活动，普通活动，结束活动。理解了模型之间的组成关系，我们就可以设计模型对应的类了。由于上面提到，模型的属性变化了，必须通知控制器，由它来刷新模型对应的视图，所以控制器必须注册为模型的侦听器。由于每个模型都有相应的控制器侦听器侦听它属性的变化，我们把这方面的功能都放在父类中，定义一个ModelElement父类，具体代码如下：
1
package com.example.workflow.model;
2
3import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;
4import java.beans.PropertyChangeSupport;
5import java.io.IOException;
6import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
7import java.io.Serializable;
8
publicclass ModelElement implements Serializable
{
9
privatestaticfinallongserialVersionUID = -5117340723140888394L;
10 privatetransient PropertyChangeSupport pcsDelegate = new PropertyChangeSupport(this);
11
12
publicsynchronizedvoid addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener l) {
13 if (l == null) {
14 thrownew IllegalArgumentException();
15
}
16 pcsDelegate.addPropertyChangeListener(l);
17 }
18
19 protectedvoid firePropertyChange(String property, Object oldValue, Object newValue) {
20 if (pcsDelegate.hasListeners(property)) {
21 pcsDelegate.firePropertyChange(property, oldValue, newValue);
22 }
23 }
24
25 privatevoid readObject(ObjectInputStream in)
26 throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
27 in.defaultReadObject();
28 pcsDelegate = new PropertyChangeSupport(this);
29 }
30
31 publicsynchronizedvoid removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener l) {
32 if (l != null) {
33 pcsDelegate.removePropertyChangeListener(l);
34 }
35 }
36
37
}
38
接下来我们定义流程，活动，转移模型，让这些模型都继承这个父类ModelElement，我们注意到活动由开始活动，普通活动，结束活动组成，这三类活动由很多相同的属性，例如活动的位置，名称，大小等等，所以给这三类活动进行抽象，定义一个父类AbstractActivity，把这些公共属性都放在这个父类中，父类的代码如下：
1package com.example.workflow.model;
2
3import java.util.ArrayList;
4import java.util.List;

6import org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Dimension;
7import org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Point;

156 if (newSize != null) {
157 size.setSize(newSize);
158 firePropertyChange(SIZE_PROP, null, size);
159 }
160 }
161
162}
163
在这个类中，我们定义两个List对象，分别对应该活动的输入转移和输出转移，因为对于一个完整的流程来说，每个活动都会转移的（或者有输入转移，或者有输出转移，或者两者都有），在这个类中，我们还注意到，每个改变对象属性的方法中，都会调用firePropertyChange方法，这个方面就是通知控制器，模型的属性发生发生变化了，让控制器根据相应的属性来刷新视图。
定义了活动的父类之后，我们就可以分别来定义开始活动，普通活动，结束活动对应的类了，具体代码如下：
开始活动：
1package com.example.workflow.model;
2
3public class StartActivity extends AbstractActivity{
4
5 private staticfinallongserialVersionUID = 4639994300421360712L;
6 private staticfinal String STARTACTIVITY_NAME = "START";
7
8 public String getName() {
9 returnSTARTACTIVITY_NAME;
10 }
11
12 public String toString() {
13 return"StartActivity " + hashCode();
14 }
15}
普通活动：
1package com.example.workflow.model;
2
3
4public class Activity extends AbstractActivity{
5
6 private staticfinallongserialVersionUID = 3023802629976246906L;
7 private staticfinal String ACTIVITY_NAME = "ACTIVITY";
8
9 public String getName() {
10 returnACTIVITY_NAME;
11 }
12 public String toString() {
13 return"Activity " + hashCode();
14 }
15
16}
17
结束活动：
1package com.example.workflow.model;
2
3public class EndActivity extends AbstractActivity{
4
5 private static final long serialVersionUID = 316984190041034535L;
6 privates tatic final String ENDACTIVITY_NAME = "END";
7
8 public String getName() {
9 returnENDACTIVITY_NAME;
10 }
11
12 public String toString() {
13 return"EndActivity " + hashCode();
14 }
15
16}
定义完这些活动之后，我们来定义流程模型，由于流程中包含多个活动，所以里面应该有个列表来维护这些对象，同样，流程中还包含多个转移，由于在活动模型中，已经维护了转移对象，所以这里就不维护这些转移对象了，具体代码如下：
1package com.example.workflow.model;
2
3import java.util.ArrayList;
4import java.util.List;
5
6/** *//**
7 * 流程模型，可以包含多个活动和转移模型
8 * @author Administrator
9 *
10 */
11public class WorkflowProcess extends ModelElement{
12
13 private static final long serialVersionUID = -5478693636480758659L;
14 /** *//** Property ID to use when a child is added to this WorkflowProcess. */
15 public static final String CHILD_ADDED_PROP = "WorkflowProcess.ChildAdded";
16 /** *//** Property ID to use when a child is removed from this WorkflowProcess. */
17 public static final String CHILD_REMOVED_PROP = "WorkflowProcess.ChildRemoved";
18 private List activities = new ArrayList();
19
20 /** *//**
21 * Add a Activity to this WorkflowProcess.
22 * @param s a non-null Activity instance
23 * @return true, if the Activity was added, false otherwise
24 */
25 public boolean addChild(Activity a) {
26 if (a != null && activities.add(a)) {
27 firePropertyChange(CHILD_ADDED_PROP, null, a);
28 return true;
29 }
30 return false;
31 }
32
33 /** *//** Return a List of Activities in this WorkflowProcess. The returned List should not be modified. */
34 public List getChildren() {
35 return activities;
36 }
37
38 /** *//**
39 * Remove a Activity from this WorkflowProcess.
40 * @param s a non-null Activity instance;
41 * @return true, if the Activity was removed, false otherwise
42 */
43 public boolean removeChild(Activity a) {
44 if (a != null && activities.remove(a)) {
45 firePropertyChange(CHILD_REMOVED_PROP, null, a);
46 return true;
47 }
48 return false;
49 }
50}
最后我们来定义转移模型，我们知道转移模型是链接两个活动的，所以在转移模型中，应该有个转移的源活动和目标活动，同时如果两个活动之间已经有转移连接时，就不能再在两者之间建立转移了，所以在两个活动之间建立转移时，必须先判断两者之间是否已经建立转移，所以转移模型具体代码如下：
1package com.example.workflow.model;
2
3/** *//**
4 *ATransitionbetweentwodistinctactivities.
5 */
6public class Transition extends ModelElement{
7
8 private static final long serialVersionUID = 516473924757575767L;
9 /** *//**True,ifthetransitionisattachedtoitsendpoints.*/
10 private boolean isConnected;
11 /** *//**Transition'ssourceendpoint.*/
12 private AbstractActivity source;
13 /** *//**Transition'stargetendpoint.*/
14 private AbstractActivity target;
15
16 /** *//**

19 *@paramtargetatargetendpointforthisTransition(nonnull)
20 *@throwsIllegalArgumentExceptionifanyoftheparametersarenullorsource==target
21 *@see#setLineStyle(int)
22 */
23 public Transition(AbstractActivity source, AbstractActivity target) {
24 reconnect(source, target);
25 }
26
27 /** *//**
28 *Disconnectthisconnectionfromtheactivitiesitisattachedto.
29 */
30 publicvoid disconnect() {
31 if (isConnected) {
32 source.removeTransition (this);
33 target.removeTransition (this);
34 isConnected = false;
35 }
36 }
37
38 /** *//**
39 *ReturnsthesourceendpointofthisTransition.
40 *@returnanon-nullActivityinstance
41 */
42 public AbstractActivity getSource() {
43 returnsource;
44 }
45
46 /** *//**
47 *ReturnsthetargetendpointofthisTransition.
48 *@returnanon-nullActivityinstance
49 */
50 public AbstractActivity getTarget() {
51 returntarget;
52 }
53
54 /** *//**
55 *ReconnectthisTransition.
56 *TheTransitionwillreconnectwiththeactivitiesitwaspreviouslyattachedto.
57 */
58 public void reconnect() {
59 if (!isConnected) {
60 source.addTransition (this);
61 target.addTransition (this);
62 isConnected = true;
63 }
64 }
65
66 /** *//**

71 *@paramnewTargetanewtargetendpointforthisTransition(nonnull)
72 *@throwsIllegalArgumentExceptionifanyoftheparamersarenullornewSource==newTarget
73 */
74 public void reconnect(AbstractActivity newSource, AbstractActivity newTarget) {
75 if (newSource == null || newTarget == null || newSource == newTarget) {
76 thrownew IllegalArgumentException();
77 }
78 disconnect();
79 this.source = newSource;
80 this.target = newTarget;
81 reconnect();
82 }
83}
到这儿，模型的定义已经全部完成，下一节我们将定义GEF框架中最重要的部分，也是最复杂的部分，控制器。
