Eclipse 3.X的selection机制

1. 要想搞清楚Eclipse的selection机制,首先要对Eclipse的WorkBench和它的结构有一个清晰的认识。

下面是我画的一张图,原图在这里: http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-UI-
Workbench/workbench.html

一般来说WorkBench有一个WorkBenchWindow,一个WorkBenchWindow有一个WorkBenchPage,一个WorkBenchPage有一个

EditManager,ViewFactory和多个Perspective,ViewFactory是通过引用计数来管理ViewReference的,只有引用计数为0时,对应的View才会被dispose掉。

2. 什么是part

WorkBenchPage中的所有Editor和View是part. 见下图:

ViewReference和EditorReference都继承自WorkbenchPartReference,WorkbenchPartReference有对应的WorkbenchPart和PartPane;

因为Eclipse是lazy初始化的,所有有时WorkbenchPartReference中的WorkbenchPart是空;

PartPane是用来管理给part绘制界面组件的;

PartPane通过给control添加SWT.Activate事件来更新page的active part;

org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartPane的handleEvent方法:

public void handleEvent(Event event) {
    if (event.type == SWT.Activate) {
        if (inLayout) {
            requestActivation();
        }
    }
}

处理Activate事件时,导致setActivePart被调用,来更新activeProvider和它们的listener;

org.eclipse.ui.internal.AbstractSelectionService的setActivePart方法:

/**
 * Sets the current-active part (or null if none)
 * 
 * @since 3.1 
 *
 * @param newPart the new active part (or null if none)
 */
public void setActivePart(IWorkbenchPart newPart) {
    // Optimize.
    if (newPart == activePart) {
        return;
    }

    ISelectionProvider selectionProvider = null;

    if (newPart != null) {
        selectionProvider = newPart.getSite().getSelectionProvider();

        if (selectionProvider == null) {
            newPart = null;
        }
    }

    if (newPart == activePart) {
        return;
    }

    if (activePart != null) {
        if (activeProvider != null) { **//清除旧的SP中的listener**
            activeProvider.removeSelectionChangedListener(selListener);
            if (activeProvider instanceof IPostSelectionProvider) {
                ((IPostSelectionProvider) activeProvider)
                        .removePostSelectionChangedListener(postSelListener);
            } else {
                activeProvider
                        .removeSelectionChangedListener(postSelListener);
            }
            activeProvider = null;
        }
        activePart = null;
    }

    activePart = newPart;

    if (newPart != null) {
        activeProvider = selectionProvider;
        // Fire an event if there's an active provider
        activeProvider.addSelectionChangedListener(selListener); **//将listener加入新的SP**
        ISelection sel = activeProvider.getSelection();
        fireSelection(newPart, sel);
        if (activeProvider instanceof IPostSelectionProvider) {
            ((IPostSelectionProvider) activeProvider)
                    .addPostSelectionChangedListener(postSelListener);
        } else { **//这里的逻辑是不是有问题,如果对应的SP不是IPostSelectionProvider类型,将postSelListener加入SP** ?
            activeProvider.addSelectionChangedListener(postSelListener);
        }
        firePostSelection(newPart, sel);
    } else {
        fireSelection(null, null);
        firePostSelection(null, null);
    }
}

selListener和postSelListener的定义如下:

/**

  • The JFace selection listener to hook on the active part’s selection provider.
    */
    private ISelectionChangedListener selListener = new
    ISelectionChangedListener() {
    public void selectionChanged(SelectionChangedEvent event) {
    fireSelection(activePart, event.getSelection());
    }
    };

/**

  • The JFace post selection listener to hook on the active part’s selection provider.
    */
    private ISelectionChangedListener postSelListener = new
    ISelectionChangedListener() {
    public void selectionChanged(SelectionChangedEvent event) {
    firePostSelection(activePart, event.getSelection());
    }
    };

3. WorkBenchWindow和WorkBenchPage的关系,见下图:

上面已经说过,一个WorkBenchWindow一般有一个WorkBenchPage。

从上图可以看出:

WorkBenchWindow通过busyOpenPage来创建WorkBenchPage;

WorkBenchWindow和WorkBenchPage有自己的SelectionService,但是它们都是继承自org.eclipse.ui.internal.AbstractSelectionService的;

WorkBenchWindow的WWinPartService通过给WorkBenchPage的ParService添加或者删除WWinListener,来和响应Part相关的事件;

WorkBenchWindow的SelectionService叫做WindowSelectionService;

WorkBenchPage的SelectionService叫做PageSelectionService;

SlectionService有多应全局的ListenerList(listeners)和每个part的ListenerList(PagePartSelectionTracker)

4. selection是如何工作的,加下图:

简单的说,当你在且画Editor或者Viewer的时候,WorkbenchPage会通过setActivePart方法,将selListener和postSelListener从老的SP中移除;

然后加入到新的SP中去,然后当SP中有selection改变的时候,SP会通知所有的listener。

5. WorkbenchWindow和WorkbenchPage的SelectionService不一样,那么如何给它们追加listener呢?

getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getSelectionService().addSelectionListener(l);
给Window的SelectionService追加listener
getSite().getPage().addSelectionListener(l); 给Page的SelectionService追加listener

6. PropertyView是如何响应Selection改变的

org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.PropertySheet通过

public void init(IViewSite site) throws PartInitException {
       site.getPage().addPostSelectionListener(this);
       super.init(site);
}

将机制注册到Page的selection完成队列中,如果有selection改变完成的话,Page会通知PropertySheet来更新自己的。

Note:

1. 加下图,分别是Window和Page的SelectionService中listener个数,可以看到它们两个的个数分别是70和1,

Windows:

Page:

2. 每个Part都要对应的PartSite

3. 每个Part都有可能对应一个SelectionTracker

4. 在PartPane中来处理SWT.Activate事件,来更新Page中的SP

5. 有两个SelectionService,一个是Page的,一个是Window的

6. 不要混淆Page和Window的SelectionService

7. setSelectionProvider只能在 createPartControl()
被调用,之后的调用不会生效;因为没有时机给page去更新SP

8. 如果你的Part有不同的SP,你可能需要在自己写的SP中进行以下trick的处理,可以参见这里:
