[nattable-dev] column reorder drag feature, release planning

[Edwin Park <esp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I just checked in a fix to bug 383555: Scroll on column drag. Now if you drag a column to reorder it and hover over the first or last 10 pixels of the viewport, the viewport will scroll in that direction so you can reorder a column to a location not initially visible in the viewport. I found and fixed a few issues in the ViewportLayer along the way around the logic that tries to keep the maximum number of columns visible in the viewport at all times. I also had to divide the ColumnReorderCommand into Start and End varieties so that the column start location is preserved when the viewport is shifted. Let me know how it works out for you.

At this point we've accumulated quite a number of bug fixes/feature additions and I think it's high time to do a release. I put out a query to the Eclipse IP folks to see when our NatTable CQ might get cleared so we can get out of incubation, but I'm guessing we may have to do an incubation release while we're waiting for that to happen. I'd like to target a release for early September, let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

Edwin
