Method Detail

addContextType

public void addContextType(String id)
Tries to create a context type given an id. If there is already a context type registered under the given id, nothing happens. Otherwise, contributions to the org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates extension point are searched for the given identifier and the specified context type instantiated if it is found.

Parameters:
id - the id for the context type as specified in XML

createContextType

public static TemplateContextType createContextType(String id)
Tries to create a context type given an id. Contributions to the org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates extension point are searched for the given identifier and the specified context type instantiated if it is found. Any contributed TemplateVariableResolvers are also instantiated and added to the context type.

Parameters:
id - the id for the context type as specified in XML
Returns:
the instantiated and configured context type, or null if it is not found or cannot be instantiated
