| [dali-dev] Outline View mode switch |
Hello,
I am just watching a recording of the PHP Development Tools Overview webinar:
http://live.eclipse.org/node/352
There is a very interesting feature demonstrated between the 24th and 25th minute of the recording. In the PHP perspective there is a switch in the Outline view that switches between "html" and "php" mode. In the "html" mode the Outline view shows the structure of the HTML code in the PHP editor, while in the "php" mode, the Outline view shows the structure of the PHP source code.
So, why am I writing about this in the Dali mailing list? Well, I can make a parallel with the JPA perspective. There is additional "JPA structure" view there that shows the meta data structure of the JPA entity. Here the Dali project can borrow the above mentioned concept from the PDT project - to have a mode switch in the Outline view: "java" mode and "jpa" mode. This way there will be no need of the JPA structure view - it will be actually intergrated in the standard Outline view. I could imagine lots of usability benefits in having this.
Does this suggestion make sense?
