Templates Documentation Updated
October 13th, 2009
The documentation for templates has just been fleshed out. If you’re interested in creating custom templates for Potomac go check it out.
Its still not as comprehensive as we hope but it should help you get started. Creating a custom template can be as easy as 100 to 200 lines of code.
Really cool stuff ! How does it compares with perspectives in Eclipse RCP ? I guess this template is general to the whole application ?
Potomac pages are roughly equivalent to perspectives in Eclipse (but there are quite a few differences). And templates manage how pages are displayed in Potomac so yup its more global. I don’t think theres anything exactly comparable to Potomac templates in Eclipse. Eclipse has the Presentations API but thats more like Potomac’s folderType extension point.
