Description Mike Pawlowski CLA 2007-08-15 10:45:02 EDT 
Create generalized drag and drop adapters for all PDE editors and
integrate their functionality with existing generalized UI components such
as PDESection and PDEDetails.

New adapters will leverage existing editor clipboard operation infrastructure.
Comment 1 Mike Pawlowski CLA 2007-08-21 22:30:37 EDT 
Work Done:

* New DND framework implemented at StructuredViewer level
  -> Clipboard operation infrastructure NOT utilized (not fine-grained enough)

* New Interfaces:
  -> IPDEDragParticipant
  -> IPDEDropParticipant
  -> IPDESourceParticipant

* New Adapters:
  -> PDEDragAdapter
  -> PDEDropAdapter

Functional Client:

* Bug # 173508 - [Cheatsheet][Editors][Simple] Implement drag and drop support for the master tree viewer

TODO:

* Add DND to Plug-in Manifest Editor
Comment 2 Mike Pawlowski CLA 2007-08-23 09:13:31 EDT 
Generalized code such that drag and drop adapters are initialized at the structured viewer section level.  DND enablement for a given viewer set by boolean value.

Comment 5 Mike Pawlowski CLA 2007-08-30 12:29:06 EDT 
Framework:

* Updated PDE drag adapter to support trees and tables

Functional Client:

* Bug # 192890 - [Manifest][Editors] Implement drag and drop in "Execution Environments" section
Comment 6 Mike Pawlowski CLA 2007-09-05 15:17:17 EDT

Comment 7 Mike Pawlowski CLA 2007-09-06 23:19:31 EDT 
Functional Client:

* Bug # 192895 - [Manifest][Editors] Implement drag and drop in "Classpath" section

One more to go.

Functional Client:

* Bug # 192894 - [Manifest][Editors] Implement drag and drop in "Automated Management of Dependencies" section


With 5 functional clients, the new DND framework can be considered complete and achieves the goals of modularity, usability and flexibility.
Comment 9 Wassim Melhem CLA 2007-09-11 11:18:09 EDT 
And we discover yet another one of Mike's talents:  a DND genius.

Thanks Mike.
