Description Brian Fitzpatrick CLA 2006-11-14 16:31:08 EST
We've encountered a use case where a particular driver template doesn't require any jar files (i.e. a driver template with "empty jar list is OK" set to true). It would be nice to be able to hide the jar list section of the Edit Driver dialog if it isn't needed for a particular driver definition.

We could also hide the Properties area if there are no editable properties for the driver definition.

In some cases, this may end up with the jar list and properties sections hidden and the user just left with the ability to change the name of the driver. 

Should we add some additional functionality to the Driver framework, including:

* Give driver developers the option of making their default driver instance read only 

* Add additional helper classes for editing of driver properties - such as a Boolean combo box or a String List combo box property descriptor

Brian,

Is this required for 1.5.

Not necessarily required. Just "nice to have".

Assigning to Brian, since he will drive the Connectivity usability effort in 1.6.
