Project Navigator leverages the existing Eclipse Project Navigator view, to manage the LLRP XML messages and its templates in Eclipse workspaces.
When one message is retrieved from the Message Repository, which is triggered by users, the message would be written to a new file (Refer the writeMessageToFile() in ResourceCenter.java). The new generated file will be showed and managed in the Project Navigator view.
The Project Navigator enables users to specify the Eclipse Project which holds the LLRP message file.
By default, especially in the case when user installed the Plug-In and starts in first time, the Eclipse project LLRP_CLIENT is required. To simplify the configuration task for the users, the Plug-In provides one Health Check feature to detect the Eclipse configuration. This function makes the commander starting properly, even without configuration.
When Eclipse loads the LLRP Client, the Health Check function is triggered to validate whether the environment is ready for use. If any significant error is detected (for example, the folders corrupted or database table doesn’t exist), the report form will pop up at startup.
HealthCheckDialog dlg = new HealthCheckDialog(
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell());
if (!dlg.getHealthCheck().validate()) {
dlg.open();
}
HeathCheck class is designed in a Chain of Responsibility pattern. It maintains the list HealthItem class. When the Plug-In starts, it registers the check items in the HealthCheck. Each HealthItem inplements two functions: validate() and fix().
public boolean validate(); public void fix();
At first, the HealthCheck iterates all the items and run their validate() one by one. Those validate() compiles the errors when they occur the problems. Then, as the user requests, the HealthCheck can iterate all marked items, which includes health problems, and execute those fix() function to solve the problem.
In current release, there are two CheckItem provided.
