Package com.ganteater.ae.desktop.editor

package com.ganteater.ae.desktop.editor
Swing-based recipe authoring and execution UI for the Anteater desktop application.

This package provides the core editor container, the primary recipe source editor, and a small extension model for adding additional tabs (for example, variables, help, or execution output) that integrate with the recipe lifecycle.

Key concepts

  • TaskEditor (TaskEditor) is the main container. It hosts the source editor and other tabs, coordinates open/save, and controls run/stop.
  • Editor tabs are Swing components that optionally implement Editor. Implementations are initialized with Editor.init(com.ganteater.ae.desktop.editor.TaskEditor) to access the editor context (current recipe text, variables, and execution controls).
  • Primary source editor is typically TextEditor, which edits the recipe as XML text and is treated as the canonical source view.
  • Authoring helpers such as CodeHelper and dialogs like CommandHelperDialog provide insertion/scaffolding assistance for common commands.

Typical usage

Create and display a TaskEditor in a Swing container: 

 javax.swing.JFrame frame = new javax.swing.JFrame("Anteater Editor");
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

 com.ganteater.ae.desktop.editor.TaskEditor editor = new com.ganteater.ae.desktop.editor.TaskEditor();
 frame.setContentPane(editor);
 frame.pack();
 frame.setVisible(true);

To contribute a custom tab, implement Editor and register it via the application's editor configuration mechanism.
