[platform-ui-dev] R2.1 Look (May 5)

[Michael Van Meekeren <Michael_Van_Meekeren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is an update on where things are with the R2.1
presentation:

What has happened:
- initial editor presentation done (by Gunnar)
- view title bars (by Ed)
- view drop down menu, etc. (by Ed)
- fast view bar defaults to left (by Andrew)
- view tab tool tips
- view toolbars

We still have a considerable amount of polish testing
and minor features to implement.  These are the open bugs, feel free
to investigate just communicate in the bug reports if you are interested
in helping out:
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59948
view tab should not be displayed if tab group has only one folder
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59948
view title bar should use 3rd state when needed
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59956
moveable perspective switcher
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59957
potential refactoring for editor presentation
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60953
R21 colours and themes are currently hardcoded
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60954
tear offs -- need to either work (3.0 behaviour) or be disabled (2.1 behaviour)
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60955
draw minimized views properly
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60956
editor's should respond to tab location preference changes

We need as much community involvement to test this
plug-in as possible in order to achieve high degree of confidence in this
code before the plug-in can be released.  

How to run this:

0) Get the latest integration build 

1) Check Out the "org.eclipse.ui.internal.r21presentation"
project from CVS

2) Add the following lines to your $ECLIPSE/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_3.0.0/plugin_customization.ini
file:

# R21 presentation settings
# use the R2.1 style presentation factory
org.eclipse.ui/presentationFactoryId=org.eclipse.ui.internal.r21presentationFactory
# 1024 = SWT.BOTTOM
org.eclipse.ui.workbench/VIEW_TAB_POSITION=1024
# put the fast view bar on the left
org.eclipse.ui/initialFastViewBarLocation=left

3) Launch a runtime workbench

When comparing this with R2.1 if you find differences/bugs,
create a bug and put [R21PRES] into the subject line.
