Hi, I have implemented a module that recognizes a file as of special type (not text) and shows a TC when the file is opened. I find it was too much work for such a common case (maybe I do something wrong): - extend TC - override getPersistenceType - listen to changes in the DO and update Title/Tooltip - create ExplorerManager, implement ExplorerManager.Provider, set DataObject.getDelegateNode() as selected node - associate lookup with the node - readExternal/writeExternal to store/load the file being edited - override canClose() I think that the case is very common and there must be a "DataObjectTopComponent" for easy implementation. Are You of the same opinion?
