Re: [platform-ui-dev] Initial General Purpose Navigator proposal
|
Nick,
I was the one who suggested to use the Package Explorer instead of the
Projects view: I use the Package Explorer and filter Java files. This gives
me access to non-Java resources inside the Java Browsing perspective. The
different filter settings are the only difference to the Package Explorer
used in the Java perspective. Even without a generic Navigator it would be
handy for any view if it could be customized by a perspective, e.g. I might
want to use different default filter settings when using the Problems view
in the Java perspective than I would want to use in a Problem Browsing
perspective.

The Projects view is a Package Explorer with a content provider that does
not show files and that only lets you drill down to the level of package
fragment roots.
We thought about using the Package Explorer in the Java Browsing
perspective but rejected it since the out of the box behavior of the Java
Browsing perspective would be bad.

Dani,
Although we are discussing the idea of the changing the presentation of
the general purpose Navigator view depending on which perspective you're
in (or perhaps based on some other context) , I know that some users of
the Java Browsing perspective also choose to show the Package Explorer, or
use it in place of the Projects view.
It would be good to hear from those users, and understand the rationale
behind this usage.
Are there any other differences between the Package Explorer and Projects
view?
I'll add your comments to the plan item PR:

Thanks,

Subject: [platform-ui-dev] Initial General Purpose
Navigator proposal
A scenario where we had to make an additional navigator-like view was the
Java Browsing perspective: the Projects view is a Package Explorer where
the user only sees projects and its package fragment roots. It should be
possible to configure the general purpose Navigator per perspective.

An intial proposal of the work involved for this plan item has been
released on the Eclipse UI team web site - this was one of our 3.0 M1
objectives. Please see
