The layoutProvider, labelProvider, contentProvider and actionHandler extension points have been deprecated and are superseded by the modelObjectDescriptor extension point that combines and enhances them. The following table lists the active extension points that you can use to extend the common editor framework:
Extension point | Description |
---|---|
modelObjectDescriptor | Specifies the type of the object, the test editor, and the general name and icon for the object. |
testOptions | Used to contribute user interface (UI) elements for displaying the protocol options in the Details area of the root element in the tree, Performance Test or Schedule. |
editorAddonEnabler | Used to write contributions to existing user interface (UI). It can have enabled and displayed state. Works with the AddonReader class. |
searchTypeProvider | Contributes a search category to the performance testing Search window. The category consists of object type and, optionally, search parameters. |
searchTypeOptionsContibutor | Contributes extra search parameters to some other search type category. |
preferencePageContributor | Provides a way to create extensible preference pages as well as to contribute UI to other preference pages. For preference pages, use the Eclipse extension point and extend the class com.ibm.rational.common.test.editor.framework.kernel.EditorPreferenecePage. For page contributions, use this extension point and extend the com.ibm.rational.common.test.editor.framework.kernel.TestPreferenceContributor class. |
