Re: [platform-ant-dev] RE: Proposed change to Ant View

Sorry, I was not proposing a seperate view for seleted targets....

I was proposing a check box tree viewer that only shows projects and targets (i.e. targets have no children in this view). The second pane shows the target dependencies for the selected target (which are currently shown as children of targets). This way, we can use the standar checkbox tree viewer, and check boxes make sense on all nodes.

I believe there are 2 proposals, Jared's (check box tree), and Darin's (seperate view for selected targets, etc). 
 
I think  'screen real estate is a premium'. Thats why I think the tree heirachy works, because you can expose the level of information you want at the moment.  Before working on my own AntView, I tried using  an existing dual pane ant view plugin. I felt this took up too much of my workspace, had wrapping issues, etc.  I think that adding the check box will also expand the width of the view. I guess the real issue is that the view honors the global preference for the 'open policy', but that the policy defaults to 'double-click'.  I would suggest that instead of using the global policy have the view have it's own policy preference that defaults to 'single-click'.
 
Hope this helps,

                 Roscoe (or anyone else), would you care to comment on my proposal in this bug
                 report? It concerns changing the basic presentation in the ant view.
