Description Robert Farr CLA 2005-03-17 13:55:04 EST 
Requesting the following enhancements to the FastViewBar.
* Ability to create fastViewbar similar to the ability to create coolBar,
statusBar, pageComposite etc... from the WorkbenchConfigurer
* Ability to control the popup menu from the FastViewBar
* Ability to add other icons to the FastViewBar (such as an icon to undock all
views in the fastViewBar at once)(With the first enhancement we can probably use
a CPanel to do this.)

Reassigning bugs in component areas that are changing ownership.

Most important for us is the ability to disable the context menu item "Open View".  This entry is a backdoor to open any platfrom provided view even if the RCP application does not support them

disable the new fast view facilitiy in the fast view bar

We are interested in ability to disable creation of new fast views with help of Fast View Bar controls (i.e. the "Show View as a fast view" button and the "New Fast View" context menu item).

Provided patch allows to control this ability by the 'disableNewFastView' preference of the org.eclipse.ui plug-in. This preference is set to false by default. If the preference is set to true, the "Show View as..." button and the "New Fast View" menu item are disappear from the Fast View Bar.

The patch is against the 3.2.1 version.

If the Eclipse community is interested in such functionality and has own ideas how to do this better, we can help in contribution.

The patch looks good to me. I cannot release it right now because it is M3 milestone week.

Sorry, I forgot to do this in the 3.3M4 cycle, but will release this as soon as M4 is out of the door.
