Purpose

The purpose of the Single View Design is to present everything in a single view in Rodin.

Specification

The Single View Design uses the Common Navigator Framework that is provided by Eclipse.

The Navigator

The navigator presents all projects and their contents. The users can choose between to ways how the machines and contexts will be presented:

  • A simple structure where all machines and contexts are presented on the same level
  • A complex structure where the machines and contexts are presented as a tree. Thus dependencies between machines and contexts (like refines or sees) are made visible.


User guide

Customizing the Navigator

Click on the little triangle in the upper right corner of the navigator view and select Customize View. This opens a dialog that allows you to choose Filters and Content.

Content

Here you can choose what content should be shown in the navigator.

  • Resources: All projects, files and folder (keep this one checked!).
  • Working Sets: Allows you to see the working sets as top level elements. If you're not familiar with working sets, consult eclipse help.
  • Simple Context Structure: Lists all contexts of a project.
  • Complex Context Structure: Lists all contexts of a project. Contexts that extend another context are attached to it as children in the tree. Contexts that are seen by a machine are attached to the machine as children. Choose either the complex or the simple structure. It is not recommended to have both active at the same time.
  • Simple Machines Structure: Lists all machines of a project.
  • Complex Context Structure: Lists all machines of a project. Machines that refine another machine are attached to it as children in the tree. Choose either the complex or the simple structure. It is not recommended to have both active at the same time.
  • Carrier Sets
  • Constants
  • Variables
  • Axioms
  • Invariants
  • Theorems
  • Events
  • Proof Obligations: All proof obligations of a machine, context, axiom, invariant, theorem or event.

Here's an example of what the same projects looks like once using the complex machine and context structure (left) and once using the simple version (right).

Filters

The filters let you choose what to hide in the navigator.

  • File extensions: There are various filters to hide certain types of files.
  • All files and folders: Hides all files and subfolders.
  • Non Rodin Projects: Hides all non Rodin projects. Also hides closed Rodin Projects.
  • Closed Projects: Hides all closed projects.

There are some additional filters that can be found on top of the navigator:

Enter a text into the field and only proof obligations containing the string will be shown. If you push the green button, all discharged proof obligations will be hidden.

Extending Single View Design

Single View Design uses the Common Navigator Framework. You can add custom filters, content providers and action providers in a plug-in of your own. Add the extension org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer. There you can add viewerContentBindings and viewerActionBindings with viewerId fr.systerel.explorer.navigator.view. This binds your custom content, actions and filters to the navigator.

In the picture you can see what types the nodes in the navigator have.

Adding a content provider

To add a custom content provider you have to use the org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent extension. There you add a new navigatorContent. Example: You want to add a new child under the IMachineFile nodes. Define a navigatorContent and add triggerPoints. There you add a new instanceof with value org.eventb.core.IMachineFile. The priority of the navigatorContent decides in what order the content is shown with respect to other content providers. (For example the content provider for the variables has a higher priority than the one for invariants, that's why the variables appear before the invariants in the tree.) You need to provide a contentProvider and a labelProvider class. For more information read the extension point description of navigatorContent. Finally include your navigatorContent in your viewerContentBindings.

  <extension
        point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent">
     <navigatorContent
           contentProvider="test.TreeContentProvider"
           id="test.navigatorContent"
           labelProvider="test.LabelProvider"
           name="name">
        <triggerPoints>
           <instanceof
                 value="org.eventb.core.IMachineFile">
           </instanceof>
        </triggerPoints>
     </navigatorContent>
  </extension>

  <extension
        point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer">
     <viewerContentBinding
           viewerId="fr.systerel.explorer.navigator.view">
        <includes>
           <contentExtension
                 pattern="test.navigatorContent">
           </contentExtension>
        </includes>
     </viewerContentBinding>
  </extension>


Adding a filter

To add a custom filter you have to use the org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent extension. There you add a new commonFilter. You can either provide an implementation for ViewerFilter or use xml filterExpressions. For more information read the extension point description of navigatorContent. Finally include your commonFilter in your viewerContentBindings.

Adding an action provider

To add a custom filter you use again the org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent extension. There you add a new actionProvider. You have to provide an implementation for org.eclipse.ui.navigator.CommonActionProvider. To decide on what nodes in the tree your action provider should be invoked, use the enablement expression. Finally include your commonFilter in your viewerActionBindings.
