Support for Bidi transformation in other Eclipse based products
The attached snapshot illustrates how another Eclipse based product providing a similar functionality (connectivity to RDBMS, data exchange with RDBMS) addresses support for Bidi transformation.
We will definitely look into this for Galileo. This support would address bug 130529, bug 130532, and bug 132670 as well. Tomer, unfortunately I doubt this is going to be handled in Galilieo due to a lack of resources. setting to future (In reply to comment #2) > We will definitely look into this for Galileo.

Defects referred above will be resolved by TextProcessor, while solution suggested by Tomer is based on bidi data normalization (i.e. transformation of bidi data/metadata stored in DB to canonical logical left-to-right bidi format) So, it seems that there is no relation between all these defects to this one, unless you keep in you mind how to connect these two things.

Adir, we would definitely like to have help in this area. Any patches, suggested fixes, and so on would be greatly appreciated. We've been fighting in this area of BiDi for years now and so far haven't really solved the problem. In def 273722 we provided some initial code for work with visual bidirectional data used on mainframes, particularly BidiLayout widget that allows to manipulate Bidi text the same way as on mainframe. It is based on StyledText functionality. BidiLayoutCellEditor is build over BidiLayout in the same way TextCellEditor is build over Text. I've provided updated patch files and design doc for Bidi support in DTP in bug 273722. It will be nice if someone will look at it. Ira |
