Re: [platform-ui-dev] dynamic UI

[Douglas Pollock <pollockd@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Woody,

Um, I don't think sending 4.1MB worth
of attachments to a public mailing list is generally a good idea.  Your
message may overflow some people's mailboxes, and it will put a burden
on people reading mail over modems.  For those whose who may have
missed this message due to its size, could you make these available elsewhere?


Thanks,
Doug.

Tod and other friends: 

Attached please find 3 documents.


1. This writeup describes what I did to make UI dynamic
for the equinox protope we developed in July. 


 
2. This is the modified org.eclipse.ui.workbench code
based on 3.0M3. 


3. This is a utility plugin I wrote to display a view
of plugins and their extensions. Right click on an UI extensions (e.g.,
editor, view, new wizard, actionset, and perspective), you can unload the
extension from UI, or reload (says "load new" on the popup menu)
this extension back into UI.  

Let me know if you have any questions.

Woody
 
We are doing some work right now in progressively
disclosing the UI. It is
not currently tied into the Equinox work although
they may very well
happen at some point. I would be interested in looking
at your code to see
where you went with things.

dynamic UI 




Hello. This is my first message in this group. A few
months ago I was
working with the org.eclipse.equinox team and had
modified the UI
workbench to make it possible to load/unload views,
editors, actionsets,
new wizards and perspectives in a dynamic way (without
restarting
eclipse). I later ported the changes to 3.0M3. Since
the future eclipse
needs to dynamically load and unload plugins, dynamic
UI will be a
necessity I believe. I wonder if there is anyone who
has made similar
effort, or are interested in this work? If you are
interested, I can give
a little demo or even furnish my code for  a
peer review. Thanks.
