Eclipse提供了非常多的view，从表现形式来说可分为table view和tree view；从结构上来说可分成三类：Common navigator view, Pagebook view, Task-oriented view。一般情况下，CNV与Resource有关，pagebook跟selection有关，而task-oriented 为自定义的视图。基本所有的** explorer都是CNV型的view，基本所有主要插件都有CNV的影子比如IDE，Navigator, Team，JDT, CDT, DTP等。为什么要使用CNV?
Paper Napkin的文章说的很清楚了,我的看法是，对于怎样面对大批量+复杂应用的二次抽象(view超多，view内容联系超复杂紧密)，CNV提供了一个很好的完整实例。

代码下载，下载后import到Eclipse 3.4.1+JDK 1.6,run/debug即可。
CNV的视图特征：
10分钟，一个CNV Resource View
- 新建一个plugin项目，名字 com.lifesting.hush，将图标解压缩到项目下，刷新，打开MANIFEST.MF，在build项里面将icon目录钩上。
- 定位Dependencies项，依次加入 org.eclipse.ui.navigator,org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources,org.eclipse.ui.ide,org.eclipse.jface.text,org.eclipse.ui.editors, org.eclipse.core.resources,org.eclipse.ui.views插件。
- 配置一个view extension, 如下图：
需要注意的是，这个view的implementation是navigator插件里面的CommonNavigator，目前我们不需要手写任何代码。
- 使用Extension Point org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer, new一个viewer，viewId设置为 com.lifesting.hush.view.cnf，popMenuId暂时置空；new一个viewerContentBinding，viewId不变，添加一个includes子节点，然后在其上添加一个contentExtension，属性pattern为org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resourceContent,isRoot为true.
- 启动，点击菜单Window->Show View->General->Html Explorer，就可以看到效果了，如果view是空白，也不是bug，在左边的Pakcage Explorer或Resource Explorer新建一个项目，然后关闭Html Explorer再打开，就会看到Html Explorer显示的和Resource Explorer一模一样的项目结构。
虽然这个Html Explorer出来了，但设置的org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resourceContent哪来的？怎么定义的？怎么添加右键菜单？Link为啥无效？怎样定制这个显示？CNF好像也没有显著的特点阿？不着急，逐一搞定，从头开始，最终的效果会是这样的：
CNV的核心是navigatorContent，所有操作都是围绕它展开的(可以选择org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent,选择find references，看看SDK都提供了哪些content)，我们这个Html Explorer为了把过程将的更清楚，将使用两个自定义的navigatorContent。下面是步骤：
- 通过extension point org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent 新建一个id为com.lifesting.cnf.directorycontent的navigatorContent，activatorByDefault=true，LabelProvider=
org.eclipse.ui.model.WorkbenchLabelProvider，而contentProvider需要新建一个类，非常简单，就是遍历IProject或IFolder的子资源(Folder或File)。它的getElement方法实现：
@Override
public Object[] getElements(Object inputElement) {
if (inputElement instanceof IProject)
{
try {
return ((IProject)inputElement).members();
} catch (CoreException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
else if (inputElement instanceof IFolder){
try {
return ((IFolder)inputElement).members();
} catch (CoreException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return EMPTY;
}
- 每个navigatorContent都有triggerPoints，很显然刚才定义的content通过IProject和IFolder来触发view tree生成。在这个content下面new 一个triggerPoints，再new两个instanceof分别指向IProject和IFile。
- 在定义actionProvider的时候，需要知道selection大致的类型，在这个content下面new一个possibleChildren，再new一个instanceof 先后IResource(IFile或者IFolder）。
- 通过extension point org.eclipse.ui.viewActions给ui view添加一个action用来设置content的Root，它的class如下：
//bind to mycnfview
public class OpenDirectoryAction implements IViewActionDelegate {
private MyCnfView view;
public OpenDirectoryAction() {
}
@Override
public void init(IViewPart view) {
this.view = (MyCnfView) view;
}
@Override
public void run(IAction action) {
DirectoryDialog dir_dialog = new DirectoryDialog(view.getSite()
.getShell());
String dir_location = retriveSavedDirLocation();
initDialog(dir_dialog, dir_location);
String dir = dir_dialog.open();
if (null != dir && !dir.equals(dir_location)) {
saveDirLocation(dir);
createPhantomProject(dir);
fireDirChanged(dir);
}
}
private void createPhantomProject(String dir_location) {
IProject project = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject(MyCnfView.PHANTOM_PROJECT_NAME);
// 1 delete previous defined project
if (project.exists()) {
try {
project.delete(false, true, null);
} catch (CoreException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// 2 create new project with the same name
final IProjectDescription desc = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().newProjectDescription(MyCnfView.PHANTOM_PROJECT_NAME);
desc.setLocationURI(new File(dir_location).toURI());
IRunnableWithProgress op = new IRunnableWithProgress() {
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor)
throws InvocationTargetException {
CreateProjectOperation op = new CreateProjectOperation(desc,
"Build Algorithm Library");
try {
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getOperationSupport()
.getOperationHistory().execute(
op,
monitor,
WorkspaceUndoUtil
.getUIInfoAdapter(view.getSite().getShell()));
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
throw new InvocationTargetException(e);
}
}
};
try {
view.getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().run(false, false, op);
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// 3 add the new created project to default workingset
if (project.exists()) {
view.getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getWorkbench().getWorkingSetManager().addToWorkingSets(project,
new IWorkingSet[] {});
//4 waiting the project is ready(file structure is built)
try {
project.refreshLocal(IResource.DEPTH_INFINITE, null);
} catch (CoreException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
//...略..辅助方法
}
代码要表达的就是建立一个隐含的project，将action取得的directory下所有的文件都倒入到项目中来。
- 将ui view的class从CommonNavigator变为一个它的子类MyCnfView:
public class MyCnfView extends CommonNavigator {
public static final String KEY_DIR_LOCATION="com.lifesting.cnf.myview_location";
public static final String PHANTOM_PROJECT_NAME=".htmlproject";
public MyCnfView() {
}
public IAdaptable getProjectInput(){
IWorkspaceRoot ws_root = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot();
IProject proj = ws_root.getProject(PHANTOM_PROJECT_NAME);
if (!proj.exists()) return getSite().getPage().getInput();
return proj;
}
public void reset()
{
getCommonViewer().setInput(getProjectInput());
getCommonViewer().refresh();
}
@Override
protected IAdaptable getInitialInput() {
return getProjectInput();
}
}
- 将viewerContentBinding/includes的contentExtension的pattern替换为刚才定义的com.lifesting.cnf.directorycontent。
- 因为是Html Explorer，需要过滤掉非html文件，需要设置一个过滤器。通过extension point org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent 新建一个id为com.lifesting.cnf.filter.nothtml的filter，它的class非常简单：
public class NotHtmlFilter extends ViewerFilter {
public NotHtmlFilter() {
}
@Override
public boolean select(Viewer viewer, Object parentElement, Object element) {
if (element instanceof IFile)
{
return Util.isHtmlFile((IFile)element);
}
return true;
}
}
再将此filter配置到cnv的viewerContentBinding/includes中去，跟contentExtension配置过程一样。
- 启动后,cnv已经可以工作，为了演示navigatorContent的可重复利用性，再定义一个只包含html文档标题的html title content(为方便只扫描标题），挂在前面定义的directory content上。directory content的model是IProject/IFile/IFolder，html title content需要定义一个model，一个html文档扫描器，还有contentPrvoider和lableProvider。
- model
public class HeadTitle {
private String title;
private IFile file;
private int from = 0;
public int getFrom() {
return from;
}
//略set/get
}
- scaner
public static HeadTitle parse(InputStream in) throws IOException {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
int c = -1;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
boolean tag = false;
boolean found_title = false;
String to_match = "title";
HeadTitle title = new HeadTitle();
int counter = 0;
int start = 0;
outer: while ((c = br.read()) != -1) {
if (c == '<') {
br.mark(3);
if (br.read() == '!' && br.read() == '-' && br.read() == '-') {
// loop over html comment until -->
counter += 3;
int t1, t2, t3;
t1 = t2 = t3 = 0;
while ((c = br.read()) != -1) {
t3 = t2;
t2 = t1;
t1 = c;
counter++;
if (t3 == '-' && t2 == '-' && t1 == '>') {
counter++; // '<' also need be countered
continue outer;
}
}
break outer; //reach the end
} else {
br.reset();
}
tag = true;
if (found_title) {
title.setTitle(sb.toString());
title.setFrom(start);
title.setTo(counter);
return title;
}
} else if (c == '>') {
start = counter + 1;
if (tag) {
String s = sb.toString().trim();
found_title = to_match.equalsIgnoreCase(s);
sb.setLength(0);
tag = false;
}
} else {
sb.append((char) c);
}
counter++;
}
title.setTitle("No title");
return title;
}
- contentProvider只有一个getChildren比较重要
private static final Object[] EMPTY = new Object[0];
@Override
public Object[] getChildren(Object parentElement) {
if (parentElement instanceof IFile)
{
IFile f = (IFile) parentElement;
if(Util.isHtmlFile(f))
{
try {
HeadTitle head = SimpleHtmlParser.parse(f.getContents());
head.setFile(f);
return new HeadTitle[]{head};
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (CoreException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
return EMPTY;
}
- labelProivder
public class HtmlTitleLabelProvider extends LabelProvider {
public static final String KEY_TITLE_IMAGE="icon/title.GIF";
@Override
public String getText(Object element) {
if (element instanceof HeadTitle)
return ((HeadTitle)element).getTitle();
else if (element instanceof IFile)
return ((IFile)element).getName();
return super.getText(element);
}
@Override
public Image getImage(Object element) {
if (element instanceof HeadTitle)
{
Image img = Activator.getDefault().getImageRegistry().get(KEY_TITLE_IMAGE);
if (img == null)
{
Activator.getDefault().getImageRegistry().put(KEY_TITLE_IMAGE, (img = Activator.imageDescriptorFromPlugin(Activator.PLUGIN_ID, KEY_TITLE_IMAGE).createImage()));
}
return img;
}
return super.getImage(element);
}
}
- html title content利用directory content找到文件，提取标题，但二者有个东西来触发这个过程。在html title content下定义个一个triggerPoints，使用instanceof=IFile来触发。
- 所有的功能基本完成，剩下popmenu和link，popmenu可以有两种方式, contribute或cnv下的popmenu子节点.contribute会在popmenu下建一堆比如group.*的menu placeholder。content下可以配置actionProvider来完成popmenu的功能，为简单只在popmenu上放置一个open的动作，即open html file，如果是html file，直接打开；如果是html file title，还须将html title高亮显示，以示不通，actionProivder:
public class MyCommonActionProvider extends CommonActionProvider {
private IAction action;
public MyCommonActionProvider() {
}
@Override
public void init(ICommonActionExtensionSite site) {
super.init(site);
ICommonViewerSite check_site = site.getViewSite();
if (check_site instanceof ICommonViewerWorkbenchSite)
{
ICommonViewerWorkbenchSite commonViewerWorkbenchSite = (ICommonViewerWorkbenchSite)check_site;
action = new OpenFileAction(commonViewerWorkbenchSite.getPage(),commonViewerWorkbenchSite.getSelectionProvider());
}
}
@Override
public void fillActionBars(IActionBars actionBars) {
super.fillActionBars(actionBars);
actionBars.setGlobalActionHandler(ICommonActionConstants.OPEN, action);
}
@Override
public void fillContextMenu(IMenuManager menu) {
super.fillContextMenu(menu);
if (action.isEnabled())
menu.appendToGroup("group.edit", action);
}
}
open file action:
public class OpenFileAction extends Action {
private IWorkbenchPage page;
private ISelectionProvider provider;
private Object selected = null;
public OpenFileAction(IWorkbenchPage page,
ISelectionProvider selectionProvider) {
this.page = page;
this.provider = selectionProvider;
setText("Open");
setDescription("Doo");
setImageDescriptor(Activator.imageDescriptorFromPlugin(Activator.PLUGIN_ID, "icon/lookin.GIF"));
}
@Override
public boolean isEnabled() {
ISelection selection = provider.getSelection();
if(!selection.isEmpty())
{
IStructuredSelection structuredSelection = (IStructuredSelection)selection;
Object element = structuredSelection.getFirstElement();
selected = element;
return element instanceof IFile || element instanceof HeadTitle;
}
selected = null;
return false;
}
@Override
public void run() {
if (null == selected) return ;
IFile file = ((selected instanceof HeadTitle) ? ((HeadTitle)selected).getFile() : (IFile)selected);
FileEditorInput fileEditInput = new FileEditorInput(file);
try {
TextEditor editor = (TextEditor) page.openEditor(fileEditInput, "org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor");
if (selected instanceof HeadTitle)
{
int from = ((HeadTitle)selected).getFrom();
int to = ((HeadTitle)selected).getTo();
editor.selectAndReveal(from, to-from);
}
} catch (PartInitException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
- Link功能非常简单，使用extension point org.eclipse.ui.navigator.linkHelper，它有两个子节点selectionEnablement和editorinputEnablement，分别对应在view中的selection和打开editor中的editorInput，class为：
public class SimpleHtmlLinkHelper implements ILinkHelper {
@Override
public void activateEditor(IWorkbenchPage page,
IStructuredSelection selection) {
Object obj = selection.getFirstElement();
if (obj instanceof IFile)
{
FileEditorInput input = new FileEditorInput((IFile) obj);
IEditorPart editor = page.findEditor(input);
if(editor != null)
{
page.bringToTop(editor);
}
}
}
@Override
public IStructuredSelection findSelection(IEditorInput anInput) {
if (anInput instanceof IFileEditorInput)
{
IFile file = ((IFileEditorInput)anInput).getFile();
StructuredSelection selection = new StructuredSelection(file);
return selection;
}
return null;
}
}
插件太复杂，不适合一篇blog讲清楚，如果有人对cnv有些比明白，欢迎来邮件讨论。
