Description Nick Edgar CLA 2004-04-21 12:59:38 EDT 
build I20040413

Note all RCP apps will want to allow detached views.
There should be a hidden preference for this that the app can configure via
plugin_customization.ini.

Should consider for M9.
Comment 1 Tassos Bassoukos CLA 2005-09-29 03:19:14 EDT 
Seconded. 

Looking at the source for 3.1, this can be implemented very easily in the
constructor of org.eclipse.ui.internal.PerspeciveHelper as there is already code
to determine if the underlying SWT/OS support detached views/reparentable controls.
Comment 2 Boris Bokowski CLA 2005-09-29 08:26:39 EDT 
+1 from me too. Will try to put this in for 3.2 M3.
Comment 3 Boris Bokowski CLA 2005-10-28 17:21:29 EDT 
Moving to M4 since I will have more time for RCP related bugs/enhancements in
the next release cycle.
Comment 4 Boris Bokowski CLA 2005-12-09 17:34:20 EST 
Fix released >20051209.

The preference is called ENABLE_DETACHED_VIEWS (see IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants).

Verified on Windows XP using I20051213-0010.
