Could you please support this plugin?

I asked the author to support myeclipse and here is his answer:

> Could you make it work with the myeclipse editors?
Hi Paul, I would add it to “myeclipse editors”, but:

1) There are lot of editors in MyEclipse
2) Source code is not available because of “closed source” of MyEclipse
3) I need to know which editor id’s and which menu paths they editors have, but this is not possible without looking into the source. If I would decompile them, then I would get problems with they lawyers.
4) I don’t have MyEclipse licence and cannot test it with AnyEdit.

Therefore I would suggest you ask MyEclipse support (which should be available for registered MyEclipse users) to add required features to AnyEdit plugin (which is open source) and send the changes to the author. Then I would release a new version of AnyEdit for all MyEclipse users (for free).

The changes in AnyEdit should be minimal – I think only plugin.xml must be updated for MyEclipse editor id’s, because the code should work with any editor.

Paul,
There are already a handful of users on this forum that do use AnyEdit with MYEclipse… which feature is not working for you?

hallo,
do you mean they actually use it with myeclipse? or is it just installed and does’nt harm myeclipse? in my case the complete functionality of the plugin is missing in any myeclipse editor (the context menus are not available). according to the author the myeclipse editor ids have to be added to the anyedit plugin.xml to make it work. here is an example for the standard eclipse jsp editor

<viewerContribution  targetID="com.ibm.sse.editor.StructuredTextEditor.context"       id="de.loskutov.anyedit.jspeditor">

I think the targetID is the interesting part.

thanks for your support.

I am checking with our developers on this, we want to support as many plugins as we can and AnyEdit is quite a nice plugin to have.

Paul,
I got this reply back and hope you can pass it to the AnyEdit author and see if it helps him:

The plugin author, or some other intested party, can
find all the editor id’s they need by grep’ing all the plugin.xml files in a
MyEclipse install for
‘point=”org.eclipse.ui.editors”‘ (minus the single-quotes)

That will show all locations of all the editor contributions and what their
IDs are.

Please note that we are truely swamped and will be for the rest of the year, our internal timetable and feature todo list is enormous as we really have some awesome stuff planned for 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 5.0 releases. If we had any extra develop cycles to spend we would be more proactive in helping the AnyEdit author figure this out, we appologize for the ‘disconnected’ help at the moment but don’t have a choice.

Let us know if this helps.
