Hello,

according to the Wiki detaching views using Dnd is a missing feature at the moment.
For my purpose this feature is a "must have", so I like to know the plans about implementing it in the future.
Further on, i am also interested in any technical information why is was not yet implemented or what should be the best way to do it (contribute to e(fx)clipse codebase).
greets,
Christian

Hi,

You are not alone with this request so if all those who desperately need
the feature team up and sponsor the development we'll for sure can
provide this feature with 2.x

Technically the problem is that we are currently useing
JavaFX-Native-DnD for the DnD support which has the draw back that if
you release the mouse outside the window we don't get a drag finished event!

Fortunately with 2.0 we have a custom DnD-Event-System implementation
(sponsored by a customer!) but we still miss one more Event
(DragExited). Once this is fixed we can provide DnD-Detaching!

So if you want this feature with 2.1 (2.0 released in 2 weeks) you
should get in touch with us (efxclipse@xxxxxxxx).

After 2.0 we'll go back to 6-8 weeks release cycle if that matters so
you can expect 2.1 sometime in mid/end August!
