how to set minimum size for windows or parts [message #734227]

I know I can use Shell.setMinimumSize for this, though I haven't yet found the right place to put the call.
Is there some way to set this using the e4xmi?

And is there some mechanism for setting minimum sizes on a part or partstack? I've looked everywhere I can think of and the only thing I came up with was the possibility of creating my own layout class. That seems wrong in so many ways, there must be a better solution.

no because the model is not designed on a higher level than SWT. We
could think about adding a Map which allows the user to spec define
generic values which are applied following the Bean-Pattern.

Can you file a bugzilla and add me to it.

No but I think this might be a regression to 3.x because there it is
possible.

I think the container-data has to allow:
* minimum weight
* maximum weight
* default weight

* minimum size in pixels
* maximum size in pixels
* default size in pixels

I'm not sure anymore why we defined containerData as a String and not a
Map<String,String> which would make it easier for us to support the
above list of properties

Seems to be wrong but currently the one way you can make that work is to
write your own renderer. I don't expect it to be hard to implement those
requirements in the SashLayout and contribute them back.
