17. Editor Integrations

Overview

WIPEOUT offers the possibility to integrate external editors, if you do not like to use the internal Text Editor e3. This chapter covers the steps to integrate the editor NEdit and XEmacs into the WIPEOUT environment.

Normally the different WIPEOUT components like Class Browser and Bugview send their commands to the Text Editor via Remote Method Invocation. Such a command could be " Open File x" or "Show Line y Of File x".

A full description of all RMI methods is available in the Revision Browser documentation. Have a look at the section named "Remote Control of WIPEOUT with wclient".

The interfaces of different applications mostly differs. So you need a translator to communicate between these interfaces. In the WIPEOUT environment the dialog External Editor Configuration adjusts this translator. Use Properties->External Editor... in the Project Browser to open this dialog.

The predefined configurations that come with the WIPEOUT package are saved in the directory:

$(WIPEOUTHOME)/external-editor
