Description Dmitry Geraskov

Steps To Reproduce:
1. buildPaneTransformer() marked as private
2. installPaneSwitcher() marked as private
3. initializeLayout() marked as protected, but impossible to override because of fields marked as private and they initialized in the method.


buildPaneTransformer() should be marked as protected.

As pane switcher needs to show 1 pane of the set of panes depending on the selected object I need to provide different one pane switcher as I have object which you don't have on the composite.

The behavior you are describing is "As Designed", as the Dali UI is not meant to be extensible at this level.  Dali provides only high-level extension of the UI, which is consistent and in some cases beyond what other Eclipse projects provide.  Providing this level of extension for Dali adopters would be a very large task and something that is currently not in our plans.

Marking as an Enhancement.

If you simply mark methods build<Something> and other which is called from initializeLayout() as *proteckted* this would help me a lot(and decrease the amount of copy/pasted code).
