Description Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-06-26 08:52:16 EDT 
Build 20030625

When selecting a different working set in search dialog, it is necessary to 
use 'choose' to open working set choose dialog.

However, other options (file name patterns,...) offer a drop down menu as well 
to quickly find alternatives.

From bug 184196:

The new Working Set history combo we have in the New Java Project wizard would
also be nice in the Search dialog (but the Choose button still has to support
selecting the window working set and creating new working sets).
Comment 7 Markus Keller CLA 2008-08-25 06:15:28 EDT 
Should use the new WorkingSetConfigurationBlock API for this.

> Should use the new WorkingSetConfigurationBlock API for this.

Hm, it's not that easy. The WorkingSetConfigurationBlock API ...
1. does not offer a way to present all available working set types (bug 245106)
2. always adds a check box (e.g. for "Add project to working sets"), which must not show up in the search dialog
3. does not list the workbench window working set and does not allow the user to edit working sets
Comment 9 Markus Keller CLA 2008-08-26 10:54:00 EDT 
For 2. and 3., we should have a new constructor, e.g.

    WorkingSetConfigurationBlock(String[] workingSetIds,
            IDialogSettings settings, String comboLabel, String selectLabel)

which
- suppresses the "Add project to working sets" checkbox
- creates a WorkingSetSelectionDialog instead of a SimpleWorkingSetSelectionDialog

Filed bug 245258 for this.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
