public class CommonNavigator extends ViewPart implements ISetSelectionTarget, ISaveablePart, ISaveablesSource, IShowInTarget
This class provides the IViewPart for the Common Navigator framework in the Eclipse workbench. This class also serves as the backbone for navigational viewers. The following types are used by this class to render the Common Navigator:
CommonViewer: The viewer that renders the
extensible tree. Creates and manages the lifecylce of the Navigator Content
Service (described below).
NavigatorActionService: Manages instances
of CommonActionProviders provided by
individual extensions and content extensions.
INavigatorContentService: Manages instances
of Navigator Content Extensions. Instances are created as needed, and
disposed of upon the disposal of the Navigator Content Service.
Clients are not expected to subclass CommonNavigator. Clients that wish to define their own custom extensible navigator view need to specify an instance of the org.eclipse.ui.views extension point:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<view
name="My Custom View"
icon="relative/path/to/icon.gif"
category="org.acme.mycategory"
class="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.CommonNavigator"
id="org.acme.MyCustomNavigatorID">
</view>
</extension>
Clients that wish to extend the view menu provided via the
org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus extension may specify the the popupMenuId
specified by org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer (or a nested popupMenu element) of their target viewer
as their target menu id.
This class may be instantiated; it is not intended to be subclassed.

override the action used by the default ActionGroup and listen for
changes to the above property.

protected CommonViewer createCommonViewer(Composite aParent)
Constructs and returns an instance of CommonViewer. The ID of
the Eclipse view part will be used to create the viewer. The ID is
important as some extensions indicate they should only be used with a
particular viewer ID.

The Common Navigator Manager handles the setup of the Common Navigator
Menu, manages updates to the ActionBars from
CommonActionProvider extensions as the user's selection
changes, and also updates the status bar based on the current selection.
protected ActionGroup createCommonActionGroup()
The ActionGroup is used to populate the ActionBars of Common Navigator
View Part, and the returned implementation will have an opportunity to
fill the ActionBars of the view as soon as it is created. (ActionGroup.fillActionBars(org.eclipse.ui.IActionBars).
The default implementation returns an action group which will add the following actions:
Link with editor support. Allows the user to toggling linking the current selection with the active editors.
Collapse all. Collapses all expanded nodes.
Select Filters. Provides access to the "Select Filters" dialog that allows users to enable/disable filters and also the Content Extension activations.
protected IAdaptable getInitialInput()
protected void updateTitle()
Updates the title text and title tool tip. Called whenever the input of the viewer changes.
protected String getFrameToolTipText(Object anElement)
Returns the tool tip text for the given element. Used as the tool tip text for the current frame, and for the view title tooltip.
public Saveable[] getSaveables()
ISaveablesSourceISaveablesLifecycleListener.handleLifecycleEvent(SaveablesLifecycleEvent).
Additions of saveables to the list of saveables of this part are
announced using an event of type
SaveablesLifecycleEvent.POST_OPEN. Removals are announced in a
two-stage process, first using an event of type
SaveablesLifecycleEvent.PRE_CLOSE followed by an event of type
SaveablesLifecycleEvent.POST_CLOSE. Since firing the
PRE_CLOSE event may trigger prompts to save dirty
saveables, the cancellation status of the event must be checked by the
part after the notification. When removing only non-dirty saveables,
POST_CLOSE notification is sufficient.
The listener is obtained from the part site by calling
partSite.getService(ISaveablesLifecycleListener.class).
The part must not notify from its initialization method, or from its
dispose method. Parts that implement IReusableEditor must notify
when their input is changed by calling
IReusableEditor.setInput(IEditorInput).
getSaveables in interface ISaveablesSourceISaveablesLifecycleListenerpublic Saveable[] getActiveSaveables()
ISaveablesSourceCertain workbench actions, such as Save, target only the active saveables in the active part. For example, the active saveables could be determined based on the current selection in the part.
getActiveSaveables in interface ISaveablesSourcepublic void doSave(IProgressMonitor monitor)
ISaveablePart
If the save is successful, the part should fire a property changed event
reflecting the new dirty state (PROP_DIRTY property).
If the save is cancelled through user action, or for any other reason, the
part should invoke setCancelled on the IProgressMonitor
to inform the caller.
This method is long-running; progress and cancellation are provided by the given progress monitor.
doSave in interface ISaveablePartmonitor - the progress monitorpublic void doSaveAs()
ISaveablePart
Implementors are expected to open a "Save As" dialog where the user will
be able to select a new name for the contents. After the selection is made,
the contents should be saved to that new name. During this operation a
IProgressMonitor should be used to indicate progress.
If the save is successful, the part fires a property changed event
reflecting the new dirty state (PROP_DIRTY property).

Note: this method is called often on a part open or part activation switch, for example by actions to determine their enabled status.
