GRITS Part Descriptor For Entry

For migrating from 3.x entry editor to a part descriptor follow this documentation

Entry Part Descriptor

• Category
  • describes which entry it would display information
  • value is type of entry property
    • example - category - "org.grits.toolbox.property.project" is a project editor
  • multiplicity - * to 1
    • many part descriptors can display an entry
    • but one part descriptor can only display a single entry. For reusing same gui to display other entry one would create another part descriptor with a different id but would reuse the java class

• Tags
  • "default" - it is the default editor for the entry for which it displays information
    • it is an optional tag for part descriptor
  • "perspective:some_perspective_id" - the perspective this part descriptor opens in
    • example tag - "perspective:org.grits.toolbox.core.perspective.entry.project"
    • multiplicity - 1 - 1 currently supports 1 perspective per descriptor (for >1 perspective tag, chooses the first from the list of perspectives of the perspective stack that matches with one of the perspective tags, would mean un-predictible from the tag list)

• Binding Contexts
  • has "Binding Context Entry" ("org.grits.toolbox.core.bindingcontext.entry")
    • acts as a filter criteria while selecting part descriptors meant for displaying entries
    • only part descriptors with this binding context are further matched with category and tags while displaying an entry
