Description Randy Hudson CLA 2002-06-04 13:37:21 EDT 
Both the Checkbox Tree and the Checkbox List have horizontal scrollbars because 
mose package names and type names don't fit in the default size.

It would be nice to be able to size this dialog bigger, and have it have a 
wider default size (I assume it is sized for 640x480? but is could be wider).
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-06-04 15:26:17 EDT 
The JAR exporter is a contribution to the export wizard. Platform UI defines 
its size behaviour - moving to Platform UI
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-06-05 12:27:24 EDT 
Should make the wizards resizable, and have them remember their last position.
Could also increase the default width.
Comment 3 Randy Hudson CLA 2002-06-19 11:45:26 EDT 
I hope this gets done for F4.  In the very least couldn't you change the style 
bit which is used to create the SWT Dialog?
Comment 4 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-06-19 11:51:11 EDT 
This is a nontrivial change which we'll have to defer to post 2.0.
Only critical fixes are going in at this stage.

Simply setting the style bits to allow wizards and dialogs to be resizable can 
expose problems in their layout code since they were not designed to be 
resizable.  We've seen several instances of such problems in the preference 
pages.

Tod,

I see that the width has been increased for Platform-UI based export wizards. I
now did the same for JAR Exporter but this does not solve

Moving back to Platform-UI

Changed bug summary from
JAR export dialog is not resizable, too narrow [jar creation]
to current.
