nox.browser and nox.logger plugins
The attachment contains the nox.browser (0.6.2) and the prerequisite nox.logger (0.1.2) plugins. They demonstrate a possible starting point to add navigation functionality to Eclipse UI. I have since fixed some rather serious memory leaks and implemented better representation of browsing and editor pin state, though these changes are still in the CVS repository and not released on the project home page. Even though the browser plugin in its current state implements single-click browsing, my original proposal to the mailing list excludes this functionality. I came to think that it would be better if this is left to individual views. However, the browser plugin itself depends on selection changes to implement navigation as it currently stands. The following attachment contains the release notes for these two plugins. Created attachment 508 [details]
Release notes for nox.browser and nox.logger plugins
Thanks Cagatay, I'll evaluate this and get back to you. Cagatay, Sorry, I've been wanting to take a look at this for ages, but have been unable to. We will not be able to put this feature in for 2.0. However, it's something I really want to look at early in 3.0. In the meantime, people can use nox. It would help if you could gather usability feedback so we have a better idea of how to add similar support to the Workbench in 3.0. *** Bug 15768 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Reopen to investigate I tried to use this plugin with 2.1 but I got some NPE. I would like to take a look on it so we can procede with the work on bug 5700. Do you have a more recente version? Are you still interested in working on making it part of the eclipse platform? I am going to mark this as dup of 5700. Please join us in the platform-dev-ui to talk/work on it. |
