Re: [ptp-user] Scrollbar problems with JAXB configurable resource manager

Dan,

You first need to start by loading the PTP plugins into your Eclipse workspace. A few people have asked for this recently, so I’ll update the docs and send you link. I assume you’re familiar with creating target system configurations.

The Resource Tab (from a Parallel Run Configuration) is found in the org.eclipse.ptp.launch plugin (o.e.ptp.launch.ui.tabs.ResourcesTab). The dynamic area on this tab is created by o.e.launch.ui.extensions.JAXBDynamicLaunchConfiguration and the other classes in this package. However, most of the work is done by the o.e.ptp.rm.jaxb.control.ui plugin, so you will need to see where this is being referenced. I’d suggest starting by looking at these two plugins and getting familiar with how they work. Then come back to me with questions :-)

Regards,
Greg

I've been doing some work on a PTP Resource Manager extension using JAXB, and have run into a problem with the way in which scrolling works.  When I size the Run Configuration Dialog smaller than its' JAXB-generated content, horizontal and vertical scroll bars appear in the resources tab.  My testing requires me to use the keyboard (up/down/right/left arrow keys and page up/down keys) to scroll horizontally and vertically.  I find that when I tab into a field off the bottom off the viewable portion of the frame, my focus control advances to that field, but the frame contents do not "scroll down" to follow it.  If I want to see my focus cursor, I need to use my mouse to adjust the scroll bar.

I tested this scenario out with some of the PTP-provided Resource Manager extensions, and am noticing the same behavior.  This will be a serious problem to a user that can only navigate with key commands.  I would like to know if the community has any suggestions on how I could work to address this problem, or if I should open up a defect against PTP instead.
