Implementation for a File list field editor
It would be interesting to see if existing preference pages (for instance, the workspace list on the General -> Startus and Shutdown -> Workspaces) can be updated to use this. I guess the preference page General -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces would use the existing org.eclipse.jface.preference.PathEditor since it is a list of diretories rather than files, but I am sure it would be useful somewhere. I have used it in a plugin in specific for the company I work for. (In reply to comment #1) > Created attachment 200312 [details] > Implementation for a File list field editor Do you think this is still useful for Kepler? PW (In reply to comment #4) Yes, I still think it is useful. I use it in a plugin used at the company I work for. I think it would be useful for other plugin developers and maybe also for eclipse itself. One of our general rules is, that we do not add things which we don't use ourselves. So, unless there is at least one place where we can also use the file list editor, we should wait to put it in. Are you interested in trying to replace some of our uses in the eclipse preference pages, like General -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces ? PW |
