Semantic Browser

Semantic Browser

By providing queries on Semantic Browser, these queries will be also available as a column on Mass Visualization table or accessible in Title Block.

The extension point is provided by:

• the plug-in org.polarsys.capella.common.ui.toolkit.browser
• and its identifier contentProviderCategory.

The contribution to the extension point is done in the plugin.xml file of the plugin. Open this file and focus on the plugin.xml tab:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
