simple xml editor

[Robi-8]

Hello.

I'd like to develop a simple xml editor based on netbeans
platform for a particular xml schema, something like the ide
has for the web.xml file.. Just the explorer, the navigator,
the editor and the output window.

I have to say that even though I've been using netbeans
since early 2001 for java development, I'm a beginner
with module development.

I just started working on the module with netbeans ide 5.0
(but tomorrow I'll upgrade to 5.5) and using the wizard,
have already made a new file type for my xml namespace.

Launching the new application, I see that my xml files
are recognized, as the icon I set for this file type is shown.

The first problem is that the new fileType seams to not have
inherited all the functionalities used for xml files.

1) the well formed and validate buttons in the editor are disabled.
2) the navigator doesn't show anything

But the editor still uses highlighting and colors..

Of course, when editing an xml file that doesn't use an xml schema
the well formed and validate buttons are again enabled and the
navigator again shows its content.

How can I add all features present for plain xml files to
my file type?

I also would appreciate any hints and directions you could
give me on how to implement the editor (wizards, apis,
files to edit, etc..)

Best regards.

I think you need to add CheckXMLSupport and ValidateXMLSupport cookies
to your DataObject. Here is a wiki page describing how to do that -
http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/DevFaqNewXMLFileType.

> 2) the navigator doesn't show anything
You probably need to register a navigator panel implementation for your
mime type. I think you could reuse the panel registered for text/xml
files. The registration will have to be done on your XML layer and
should be looking something like this:

<folder name="Navigator">
  <folder name="Panels">
    <folder name="text">
      <folder name="your-mime-type">
        <file
name="org-netbeans-modules-xml-text-navigator-XMLNavigatorPanel.instance"/>
      </folder>
    </folder>
  </folder>
</folder>

Just for a reference here is a description of Navigator API -
http://www.netbeans.org/download/dev/javadoc/org-netbeans-spi-navigator/index.html?overview-summary.html.
You probably won't need it unless you want to implement your own
navigator panel.

Good luck,

In the thread "[openide-dev] Add a new xml file type with schema", Vivek Jain says:

If you are creating a new file type for an xml document, provide the MIME type ending with +xml. MIME types like  text/x-zul+xml are used in the IDE to represent an XML document that is more specifically .zul type.

Creating a filetype like this, IDE will treat .zul files as an XML document. .zul files editor will provide all functionality like code highlighting, indent, code folding, code completion and any other what you can get for an xml document.

Hope this helps,

Hi Roberto,

I hope you are creating a new file type for an xml document which ends with +xml. MIME types like  text/???+xml are used in the IDE to represent an XML document. Creating a filetype like this, IDE will treat your files as an XML document. Netbeans Editor will provide all functionality like code highlighting, indent, code folding, code completion and any other to your xml document.

To get the schema based code completion for your xml files, you have to install enterprise pack. Once you install NB enterprise pack, run your module project, and create new file (that is your xml document). In your xml document, provide the value for schemaLocation attribute which will be the relative or absolute location of your schema file. Just doing this will give you the schema support for your xml files.

Please note that Currently schema-based code completion for xml files works only if we provide value for 'schemaLocation' attribute and the value should be relative or absolute path of xsd file on the filesystem. Schema based Code Completion is not available through XML catalog. I have filed an issue (fix in progress) on Netbeans XML component to provide Schema based Code Completion through XML catalog.

To get validate, checkXml, Transformable support, you have to add the following code to your DataObject. Refer this link for the same http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/DevFaqNewXMLFileType

        CookieSet cookies = getCookieSet();
        cookieManager = new DataObjectCookieManager(this, cookies);
        cookies.add((Node.Cookie) DataEditorSupport.create(this, getPrimaryEntry(), cookies));
       
        InputSource is = DataObjectAdapters.inputSource(this);
        Source source = DataObjectAdapters.source(this);
       
        cookies.add(new CheckXMLSupport(is));
        cookies.add(new ValidateXMLSupport(is));
        cookies.add(new TransformableSupport(source));

To get the Navigator support for your xml files Add following code in your layer.xml file (with your xml MIME type)

    <folder name="Navigator">
        <folder name="Panels">
            <folder name="text">
                <folder name="MIME_TYPE">
                    <file name="org-netbeans-modules-xml-text-navigator-XMLNavigatorPanel.instance"/>
                </folder>
            </folder>
        </folder>
    </folder>

Thanks & Regards,
Vivek

Yes.. That works just fine.

The xml is correct, as I can validate it using other tools..
But.. here's how my xml file starts:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sp:Sposi xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nunnisoft.ch/schemas/sposi 
http://www.nunnisoft.ch/schemas/sposi01.xsd"

Ok. Thanks a lot to all who answered my question.
I'll try that as soon as possible and let you know the result.

I added the Enterprise pack but the ide still cannot find the
following classes:

import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.XMLDataObjectLook;
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.cookies.DataObjectCookieManager;
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.sync.DataObjectSyncSupport;
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.sync.Synchronizator;
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.text.TextEditorSupport;
import org.netbeans.spi.xml.cookies.CheckXMLSupport;
import org.netbeans.spi.xml.cookies.DataObjectAdapters;
import org.netbeans.spi.xml.cookies.ValidateXMLSupport;

Where are the above classes?

Best regards.

I'm not sure about these. Why do you need them?

These ones should be in xml/api module. It should be enough to just type
the name of one of those classes in the Add Module Dependency dialog. If
it's not working, there might be something wrong with the Netbeans
platform you are using for development.

Hi Roberto,

Your module require an implementation dependency on 'XML Core' for
following packages:
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.XMLDataObjectLook;
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.cookies.DataObjectCookieManager;
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.sync.DataObjectSyncSupport;
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.sync.Synchronizator;
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.text.TextEditorSupport;

Also add dependency on 'XML Tools API' for remaining packages:
import org.netbeans.spi.xml.cookies.CheckXMLSupport;
import org.netbeans.spi.xml.cookies.DataObjectAdapters;
import org.netbeans.spi.xml.cookies.ValidateXMLSupport;

Thanks,

Hi Vivek.

I went to my module properties --> Libraries and Add Dependency
- XML Core
- XML Tools API

Now the 'Fix imports' command gets correctly all the packages
but trying to compile fails with the following errors:

package org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.cookies does not exist
package org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.sync does not exist

What do I get wrong?

See the messages in this thread. Vivek has answered how to add them..
but I still have trouble with DataObjectCookieManager and Synchronizator.

Hi Vivek.

I'm not sure what this means, but I found this in
org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.META-INF.MANIFEST.MF
...
OpenIDE-Module-Public-Packages: org.netbeans.modules.xml.api.*, org.ne
  tbeans.modules.xml.api.model.*, org.netbeans.modules.xml.spi.dom.*
...

If that lists the packages that are publicly usable then
DataObjectCookieManager and Synchronizator are not usable..

Anyways.. taking out DataObjectCookieManager and Synchronizator
from my code, gives me an application that compiles and run,
but just like before, I don't get generic xml functionalities
for my xml flavor.

Is the following correct?
I put this at the end of layer.xml:

     <folder name="Navigator">
         <folder name="Panels">
             <folder name="text">
                 <folder name="text/x-sposi+xml">
                     <file
name="org-netbeans-modules-xml-text-navigator-XMLNavigatorPanel.instance"/>
                 </folder>
             </folder>
         </folder>
     </folder>
</filesystem>

If not, please correct me.

Best regards.
Roberto

Great Vivek!

I didn't notice before, because I stopped checking if it was
working after verifying that the navigator is still empty..
but checking again..

**XML well formed and XML validation now work!**

I just had to take away DataObjectCookieManager and Synchronizator
from your code and now well-formed and validation checks work!

Now I still have to get the navigator show and let navigate
the xml elements of my xml flavor documents.

For navigator to work, I tried to modify layer.xml as you said,
but for sure I did miss something..

Could you please tell me what's wrong with my layer.xml?
You can see it here: http://www.nunnisoft.ch/downloads/layer.xml

Thank you and best regards.

Hi Everybody,

Is there a way to differentiate between a case when a user clicks on
TopComponent tab and other cases when TopComponent gets activated
programmatically?

I want to do some action only in case a user clicks TopComponent tab, so
TopComponent.componentActivated() doesn't do a job for me.

Thank you,

Kate

package org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.cookies does not exist
package org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.sync does not exist

Just adding simple dependency will not work because these API's are not public. To use these packages, you need establish implementation dependency or become friend of XML Core. BTW, I have filed an issue 91617 to make these API public.
To add implementation dependency, go to Module Properties -> Libraries -> XML Core -> Edit and select Implementation Version. This will solve the problem.

You can see it here: http://www.nunnisoft.ch/downloads/layer.xml

The entry for navigator panel in your layer.xml should look like following, and it will work:

    <folder name="Navigator">
        <folder name="Panels">
            <folder name="text">
                <folder name="x-sposi+xml">
                    <file name="org-netbeans-modules-xml-text-navigator-XMLNavigatorPanel.instance"/>
                </folder>
            </folder>
        </folder>

Thank you and best regards.

represent an XML document. Creating a filetype like this, IDE will treat your files as an XML document. Netbeans Editor will provide all functionality like code highlighting, indent, code folding, code completion and any other to your xml document.

Yes.. That works just fine.

To get the schema based code completion for your xml files, you have to install enterprise pack. Once you install NB enterprise pack, run your

I haven't checked code completion, yet.

module project, and create new file (that is your xml document). In your xml document, provide the value for schemaLocation attribute which will be the relative or absolute location of your schema file. Just doing this will give you the schema support for your xml files.

The xml is correct, as I can validate it using other tools..
But.. here's how my xml file starts:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sp:Sposi xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nunnisoft.ch/schemas/sposi http://www.nunnisoft.ch/schemas/sposi01.xsd" xmlns:sp="http://www.nunnisoft.ch/schemas/sposi" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
...

Please note that Currently schema-based code completion for xml files works only if we provide value for 'schemaLocation' attribute and the value should be relative or absolute path of xsd file on the filesystem. Schema based Code Completion is not available through XML catalog. I have filed an issue <http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91333> (fix in progress) on Netbeans XML component to provide Schema based Code Completion through XML catalog.

To get validate, checkXml, Transformable support, you have to add the following code to your DataObject. Refer this link for the same http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/DevFaqNewXMLFileType

            CookieSet cookies = getCookieSet();
            cookieManager = new DataObjectCookieManager(this, cookies);
            cookies.add((Node.Cookie) DataEditorSupport.create(this,
    getPrimaryEntry(), cookies));
                       InputSource is = DataObjectAdapters.inputSource(this);
            Source source = DataObjectAdapters.source(this);
                       cookies.add(new CheckXMLSupport(is));
            cookies.add(new ValidateXMLSupport(is));
            cookies.add(new TransformableSupport(source));

To get the Navigator support for your xml files Add following code in your layer.xml file (with your xml MIME type)

        <folder name="Navigator">
            <folder name="Panels">
                <folder name="text">
                    <folder name="MIME_TYPE">
                        <file
    name="org-netbeans-modules-xml-text-navigator-XMLNavigatorPanel.instance"/>
                    </folder>
                </folder>
            </folder>
        </folder>

Ok. Thanks a lot to all who answered my question.
I'll try that as soon as possible and let you know the result.

Best regards.

Hello.

I'd like to develop a simple xml editor based on netbeans platform for a particular xml schema, something like the ide has for the web.xml file. Just the explorer, the navigator, the editor and the output window.

I have to say that even though I've been using netbeans since early 2001 for java development, I'm a beginner with module development.

I just started working on the module with netbeans ide 5.0 (but tomorrow I'll upgrade to 5.5) and using the wizard, have already made a new file type for my xml namespace.

Launching the new application, I see that my xml files are recognized, as the icon I set for this file type is shown.

The first problem is that the new fileType seams to not have inherited all the functionalities used for xml files.

1) the well formed and validate buttons in the editor are disabled.
2) the navigator doesn't show anything

But the editor still uses highlighting and colors..

Of course, when editing an xml file that doesn't use an xml schema the well formed and validate buttons are again enabled and the
navigator again shows its content.

How can I add all features present for plain xml files to my file type?

I also would appreciate any hints and directions you could give me on how to implement the editor (wizards, apis, files to edit, etc..)

Best regards.

I don't know if there's a better way, but maybe adding a mouse
listener to the TopComponent would work.

not really. The tab is not part of TC. So you won't get the events.

I don't think there is a clean way of doing it. a possible workaround
would be to override the  requestActive() and componentActivated()
methods and try to guess when the activation was a result of programatic
call, rather then UI event. Not sure it's bulletproof or even possible
to do though..

The navigator problem was solved, too! The problem was that
<folder name="text/x-sposi+xml">
should have been
<folder name="x-sposi+xml">

Now the editor.. Having said that I want to end up with
an editor similar to the one the ide has for the web.xml file,
what direction should I take? Make a new Window Component?
Should I extend TopComponent and then add the xml check and
highlighting features of the platform, extend the existing
xml editor class and then add my other views to the component
or else?

Best regards.

Hi, Kate,

What are you trying to do - i.e. what behavior should be different if
the tab is clicked?  There might be a way to do whatever it is some
other way.

I can't say I recommend it, but in a pinch, an AWTEventListener checking
event.getSource() instanceof TabDisplayer will find such events (but
activation will happen later on another cycle of the event queue, so to
detect it your listener would need to remember
SwingUtilities.getAncestorOfClass (theTabDisplayer,
TabbedContainer.class), and see if it is the same object as
SwingUtilities.getAncestorOfClass (yourTopComponent,
TabbedContainer.class), but forget the value if any mouse event is
received for some other component (or if virtually anything else happens
in the interim - this sort of thing is not reliable - it's easy to
accidentally think an activation ten minutes later is the fulfillment of
a misidentified mouse click).

This sort of thing is not nice to do, and AWTEventListeners are a
sledgehammer to kill a mosquito.  So I'd like to understand just what
the requirement is here - what is supposed to happen or be different
about mouse-based activation (and does keyboard-based activation
[ctrl-tab] count too?  Is it really mouse clicks you want, or to detect
explicit user-triggered activation?  What for?)?

Hi Vivek

Thank you again for your support.

But I don't understand why I need to have my DataObject class implement
XMLDataObjectLook.. In fact the module seams to work well (well formed
and validation checks) without implementing XMLDataObjectLook.
Here's my class:


public class Sposi01DataObject extends MultiDataObject {

     public Sposi01DataObject(FileObject pf, Sposi01DataLoader loader)
throws DataObjectExistsException, IOException {
         super(pf, loader);
         CookieSet cookies = getCookieSet();
         cookies.add((Node.Cookie) DataEditorSupport.create(this,
getPrimaryEntry(), cookies));

         InputSource is = DataObjectAdapters.inputSource(this);
         cookies.add(new CheckXMLSupport(is));
         cookies.add(new ValidateXMLSupport(is));
     }

     protected Node createNodeDelegate() {
         return new Sposi01DataNode(this);
     }
}


It seams that to get the desired result, I just need to call
cookies.add() with CheckXMLSupport and ValidateXMLSupport..

Am I missing anything?

Next week I'll have more time to work on this project, and
I'll need to work on the specialized editor.. so here comes
again my question:

Having said that I want to end up with an editor similar to
the one the ide has for the web.xml file (ie one view with
the xml editor, and others with panels, labels and text fields),
what direction should I take?

Best regards.
Roberto

Yes. I found another way to obtain a multiview xml editor, and
it is very nice!

I use org.netbeans.modules.xml.multiview and I already have a
working implementation. In a nutshell, using this api, your dataObject
must extend XmlMultiViewDataObject instead of MultiDataObject,
but you're better off by looking at the example at:
http://blogs.sun.com/geertjan/entry/multiview_editor_sample
and http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/xml/multiview/arch.xml

Best regards.
