Description Eike Stepper CLA 2010-09-04 15:14:58 EDT 
IManageContainer and the IFactory framework enable the creation of instances and their configuration/wiring on a core level. Currently we are missing a framework to contribute user interfaces for already contributed core factories.
Comment 1 Eike Stepper CLA 2010-09-04 15:19:37 EDT 
The user must implement an IElementWizard that is responsible for adding special controls to an SWT Composite. These controls  must be able to provide all the information that a conrete IFactory implementation needs as its description parameter.

public interface IElementWizard
{
  public String getResultDescription();

  public void create(Composite parent, String factoryType, String defaultDescription);
}

A factory for this wizard must be contributed to the IManagedContainer. This factory should be a subclass of ElementWizardFactory:

public abstract class ElementWizardFactory extends Factory
{
  public static final String PRODUCT_GROUP = "org.eclipse.net4j.util.ui.elementWizards"; //$NON-NLS-1$

  public ElementWizardFactory(String elementProductGroup, String elementFactoryType)
  {
    super(PRODUCT_GROUP, elementProductGroup + ":" + elementFactoryType);
  }

  public abstract IElementWizard create(String description) throws ProductCreationException;
}
