M7 JDT Open Type Dialog with multiple projects [message #203528] Sun, 15 May 2005 20:04 Go to next message

Hi,

I just finished testing out the new M7 release, it mostly looks pretty
good. However, the new 'open type dialog' seems poorly thought out.

The way we currently work is that we have 3 or 4 projects for each of our
releases on the subversion tree. For example, I currently have checked out
and are working on the TRUNK, UPDATE, and MINOR branches of our product.
These branches correspond to differing release times and all changes get
eventually reapplied to the TRUNK.

Due the size of our product (each project is approx 42,102 resources,
maybe 2/3 of those java and jsp files) opening and closing the projects is
way too time consuming, even with the performance enhancements in this
latest release. So, I usually just leave all three open.

So.... Now when I type in say 'PurchaseOrder' to the open type dialog I
get a list of 3 PurchaseOrder's, then a list of 3 PurchaseOrderImpl's,
then a list of 3 PurchaseOrderAmendment's, then a ... well, you get it..

It's impossible to find just the files for the project your looking for
and the danger of accidently opening a source from the incorrect project
is amplified. In the old open type dialog, you just had to remember how
many 'tabs' down in the bottom window the project you were working on was.

So, is there a setting someplace to revert to the old open type dialog?
Or, is it possible to restrain the open type dialog to just the project
your working on (without closing the other projects?

Thanks for any help,

yes, this is pretty annoying. I would actually prefer that the search
dialog
just prefixed each type with the project name they are from if there is
more
than one with the same name (should be enough for most cases, only not
supporting the case where you have the same class in different .jar files)

Personally I want to see package always, not only for currently
selected class. Or make this feature optional...

Agree, but it should be in a different columns: class name in the first,
package name in the second. Also some another optional columns may be
added: project name, file location and so on.

Guys, please open a Bugzilla report against this (if you've not already
done so). All this discussion and these ideas will be lost if there is
no Bugzilla entry for them.
Seeing as the plan calls for final 3.1 release very soon, I would
suggest making the report high priority and severity and do you best to
convince the commiters to address it.

I would like to retract my comment - i must have been running a different
version
or something.

The current behavior (after testing it some more) seem to do exactly what
I would like.

- it works simple if no duplicate names are found
- if duplicate are founds I get a line for each type with packagename and
project/jar location

That is quite good enough for me.

But I can see how it would be beneficial to have a mode saying "one line
per type" and then
in a "slave" list show the details of the types if mulitple locations are
found.

one thing I though would like is that tmz will also work like TMZ so i
dont need to press shift ;)

It seems that someone in the UI team goes around with the same (not very
good) idea of "simplicity" - take a look at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75376, the paths for open
editor's are also gone now, which is also very annoying in miltiple
projects workspace.
Could you also vote for this one?
Kind regards,
Andrei

I 100% Andrei. And it's clear that someone is trying to make things simple
for the simple case while not understanding that they are making things
unusable for the complex case.

I think all Eclipse developers should be forced to test their changes
against workspaces with 4-5 jumbo projects (saying 20K+ resources) open at
a time, just like we deal with in the real world.

I think they will suddenly see that simplicity can .equal's complexity.
