API Overview

The Workspace Access plugin extension is called when the application starts and when it closes.

The StandalonePluginWorkspace API can be used in numerous ways:

• Customize the toolbars, contextual menu, and main menus. See: Adding Toolbar and Menu Actions.

• Import or set global settings in Oxygen XML Developer. See: https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/SDK/javadoc/ro/sync/exml/workspace/api/options/GlobalOptionsStorage.html.

• Access the API for the Project view. See: https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/SDK/javadoc/ro/sync/exml/workspace/api/standalone/StandalonePluginWorkspace.html#getProjectManager--.

• Access utility methods to interact with the end-user (for example, show warning and error dialog boxes, update the results view, or change the status bar). See: https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/SDK/javadoc/ro/sync/exml/workspace/api/WorkspaceUtilities.html.

• Add a listener to be notified when a new XML document is opened, selected, or closed either in the main editing area or in the DITA Maps Manager view. See: https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/SDK/javadoc/ro/sync/exml/workspace/api/PluginWorkspace.html#addEditorChangeListener-ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.listeners.WSEditorChangeListener-int-.

• Provide access to opened XML documents via the WSEditor interface. Each opened XML document can be manipulated using the WSEditor interface. You can obtain its content, set new content to it, or save its content. You can also validate the editor contents or disable editing inside it. Depending on the current editing mode (Text or Author), you can gain access to the current editing page and send it either to the Author editing page or Text editing page. Both APIs allow you to make changes to the current document content.
