[Ann] Nightly builds have DnD support [message #1350263]

Hi,

If happen to not read my blog [1] - I've just added DnD support between
stacks (including reordering).

Please note that:
a) this feature is still very new
b) there are bugs in JavaFX TabPane who does strange things sometimes
c) JavaFX misses the required API so we do a lot of reflection foo (we
are working with JavaFX people to get API!)

Still I think the support is useable and I'd like to hear your opinion
on it.

To get DnD you need to add
"bundleclass://org.eclipse.fx.ui.workbench.renderers.base/org.eclipse.fx.ui.workbench.renderers.base.addons.DnDAddon"
to your addons.

The default implementation shows an insert-mark when you reorder and a
tab-preview when moving to another container.

You can customize the feedback by providing an OSGi-Service of type
org.eclipse.fx.ui.workbench.renderers.base.services.DnDFeedbackService.

Hi Tom,

First, i'm French... and sorry for my English...

Dnd support seems working fine and the rendering is nicer than it was with SWT

When one of my container becomes empty (because i dragged all of his parts), i can't anymore drop an other part in it?

Hi,

Yes that's on my list but not yet implemented appropiately - similar to
stack splitting. I also need to add the CleanUpAddon support which would
by default collapse empty stacks.

BTW unlike on SWT the feedback is completely customizable. See
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Efxclipse/Runtime/e4#DnDFeedbackService
