[news.eclipse.technology.albireo] Re: Size-Calculation of Embedded Swing

[Gordon Hirsch <gordon.hirsch@xxxxxxx>]

I think the base problem here has to do with the fact that the preferred 
size of the Swing component is not yet known when the dialog decides on 
its own initial size. (It's not yet known because size calculations 
involve waiting for the AWT event dispatch thread to run. We defer 
actual layout of the SWT composite until this has happened, but this is 
a case where just a size computation is done, and it probably can't be 
deferred.)

One solution for you would be to override your TitleAreaDialog's 
getInitialSize() method and return a reasonable value that does not rely 
on waiting for the Swing component's preferred size to be known.

If that won't work, you could try to find a way to resize the dialog 
once the Swing control's preferred size has been calculated. I'm not 
sure how easy that would be.
