Description Darin Wright CLA 2003-01-20 12:52:13 EST 
The ability to show Dependencies and Execution Order as children of a targets 
should be optional. Could provide a toolbar button to show or hide these 
children.

Rational: when I see a "+" beside a target I will click it and I would expect 
to see the tasks. Showing the Execution Order as children is "fancy". By 
default this option should be off.

If we stopped showing Execution Order and Dependencies in the tree, it would
solve Bug 27327 as a side effect. Also, the Execution Order computation is the
only reason we're using the org.apache.ant classes in ProjectNode's parsing
method.

I suggest removing the execution order information entirely and moving the
dependency information into the hover-help for TargetNodes.

I agree.
Comment 3 Jared Burns CLA 2003-01-29 15:19:54 EST 
I can't find any way to provide hover help for content in a JFace viewer. I've
asked if it's possible on the newsgroup, but in the meantime I plan to just
display the dependency info in the status bar.

Implemented. Please verify.
