Re: [platform-ui-dev] Working sets on a workbench window
|
Cool ! I am missing that feature as well. That's why I started hacking on a
comparable
feature in July. Here is what I did. May be it is of any help:
- added a special working set (global working set) which is simply a
reference to
an existing working set
- views (e.g. package explorer) selected the global working set for
filtering
- changing the global working set to reference another working set updated
all views referencing this working set since the global working set
changed.
The nice thing was that this didn't require any additional code on the view
part
side.

Yes. For instance, the package explorer currently has a menu item to
select the visible working sets (when you're in the working set
mode). With this new API, you could simply show all working sets
that are of the java type and listen for changes so that you can
update your tree appropriately.
