Hi,

One of the new features in the Eclipse 3.3 platform is extensible hyperlink detection.
From the help pages:

“Clients can use the org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor.hyperlinkDetectors extension point to add their own hyperlink detectors and can enable their viewers using the corresponding methods in the source viewer configuration along with the org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor.hyperlinkDetectorTargets extension point.”

Is it possible to create my own hyperlink detector on top of the existing editors? I can’t find a good starting point in the help pages to realize this.

Thanks!

Hi,

I’ve figured it out.

It can be done by writing a plugin that defines an extension for: org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor.hyperlinkDetectors
with the following targetId: org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor
and a class that’s extends: org.eclipse.jface.text.hyperlink.AbstractHyperlinkDetector

Greetings,
