• In the "Extensions" tab, add a new extensions based on the fr.obeo.dsl.viewpoint.componentization extension point
• Fill the properties with the following values :
  • id : an identifier string
  • name : a name string
  • class : the activator of the previously created plug-in

Here is an example :

• id="com.mycompany.yourproject.mymodeler.modeler"
• name="com.mycompany.yourproject.mymodeler.modeler"
• class="com.mycompany.yourproject.mymodeler.modeler.MyActivator"

Register your viewpoints at the start of your plug-in

• Add your viewpoints in the function start of the activator of your plug-in:

viewpoints = new HashSet<Viewpoint>();

viewpoints.addAll(ViewpointRegistry.getInstance().registerFromPlugin(PLUGIN_ID+"/<path_from_the_plugin_project>/<myModeler>.odesign"));

• Suppress your viewpoints in the function stop of the activator of your plug-in

if (viewpoints != null) {

for (Viewpoint viewpoint : viewpoints) {

ViewpointRegistry.getInstance().disposeFromPlugin(viewpoint);

}

viewpoints.clear();

}

This sample comes from the plug-in tests fr.obeo.dsl.viewpoint.tests
