Description John Lanuti CLA 2007-06-06 14:28:40 EDT 
The JPA Structure View, when selecting objects in that view, there is no text to explain what the selection is.  If you look at the JDT outline, at the bottom left, it provides text on the selection.  This would be helpful for accessibility.  Also, what does the JPA Structure View provide?  Just the icons?  Is it necessary or could the java outline view just be enhanced within the JPA perspective?

Text for the selection sounds like a good idea.  With regards to the JPA Structure view, the short answer on why this view exists outside of the Outline is because we don't have our own Editor, and the Outline is driven by the Editor. The Java Outline isn't extensible and we didn't want to completely override it.

It is an unfortunate consequence that we have a structure view at all.

This basically involves implementing something like org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.viewsupport.StatusBarUpdater and adding it to the JPA Structure view.

This sounds like something better left for next release.
