Hi,
I was thinking of contributing two components to Eclipse (probably
JFace), but I wanted to get people's opinion about them first:
* Enhanced TableViewer that can support sorting automatically
through type inference (you do not need to specify comparators
explicitly, it intelligently discovers what the most suitable
comparator is based on the column clicked for sorting) I already
have this done for a client project used by more than 25,000
users, and its logic was test-driven from the start.
* Dialog that can remember the last selected options since the
last time it was OKed (or SAVEed). Also, already done for the
same client project and test-driven. The logic was implemented
in the presentation layer to be completely domain-model
agnostic. So, it can be used regardless of the dialog use-case.
In fact, the logic can easily be generalized to remember options
for any screen containing widgets (Wizards, Editors, Views, etc...)
I presented both components as part of my talk "Practical Design
Patterns for Rich Client Development" during EclipseWorld 2007, and
attendees seemed to be highly interested in them.
Please advise me on how to contribute the components.
