`getComponent` of my custom `FileEditor` is never called
Answered
I wish to make my own file type to edit some lineage graphs graphically.
I have derived from `FileEditor` class
public class LineageFileEditor implements FileEditor {
@Override public @NotNull JComponent getComponent() {
return new JExample();
}
...
and also wrote a custom component, which draws a circle
public class JExample extends JComponent {
@Override protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g.fillOval(10, 10, 100, 100);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.add(new JExample(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(800, 600);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
This component works from it's main.
Unfortunately, my editor acts as just text editor in IntelliJ
and `#getComponent()` method is never called according to the debugger.
Why and how to fix?

Please always show full context. Did you register/implement com.intellij.openapi.fileEditor.FileEditorProvider as well?
Context is full :) I did only what I wrote, I am a newbiew and didn't knew about FileEditorProvider at all! Thank you, will dig at this direction!
It worked. I was to notice, that there was no connection between editor and type before...
