Moveable Views/Editors [message #515301]

Hi RAP-Team,

I know there is an old post for the "moveable Views/Editor" issue, but I
want to revive it.
Since DnD is now supported by RAP, is there a plan on implementing the DnD
of ViewParts and EditorPart, or is there a blocker that it can not be
implemented?

Regards,
Markus

Currently, there aren't plans to implement this. The blocker is the
Tracker widget that isn't availabel in RAP. It provides the visual
feedback while the user drags around a view or editor.
Without such visual feedback I regard DnD for views/editors as rather
useless.

I have created a bug with a quick and dirty implementation of view dragging:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=315680

It has no user feedback currently, but I would like to see if anyone wants to help me try to finally make this a reality in RAP.

WOW, that is really awsome.

@RAP-TEAM: What about implementing this into RAP? I think this would be a
very great "New and Noteworthy" for the first Milestone of RAP 1.4(or 2.0,
whatever comes next). I would love to see this in svn after 1.3 is release
:-)

I agree that this is very impressive! But I'm not sure how big the
interest in draggable parts (in a web client) generally is. And I
remember that there are still some technical issues with the visual
feedback - see bug 315680.

We didn't make concrete plans for the next version yet, but I think
we'll focus on the high voted (and doable) bugs first. We have to use
our resources wisely to make the best of it for the community.

If everybody's just waiting for draggable parts, then let us know!

Regards, Ralf

For us the draggable parts are very important since one of our products is a workbench heavy RAP Application that relies upon the user being able to customize his/her view of information based on their task at hand.

In reference to feedback, please see the comments I just made on the ticket.

We are also waiting for it, it's not that high prio but our users already

Just added my vote :-)

In my RAP 1.5 sample application DnD of ViewParts feature is not working.

Anyone have an idea, that DnD of ViewParts and EditorPart feature is implemented in the RAP latest release (Version 1.5) ?

Thanks in Advance,
Jose

Sorry, still not supported. The whole thing is just so complicated that
there are always more than enough issues/features that have a higher
investment/payoff quota or are more urgent. And frankly, it also doesn't
look too good for RAP 2.0, since we only have till the end of the year
to work on that. The way i see it, we can currently not justify to
invest the required time into this feature.

Greetings,
Tim

Oh my god. What do you mean by no user feedback? I have even cast my vote in Bugzilla to *hope* that this improvement will happen in the near future. Actually, I want this feature *yesterday*.

Thanks for the information, Tim.

We are developing our application in RCP and then migrate it to RAP and to have less compatible issue between RCP & RAP, we have chosen Eclipse Juno (latest version) for the development. Is there any other feature which works in RCP and not compatible with RAP?

Another major task in our project is render the existing Swing UI in RCP && RAP. We were able to render the existing Swing UI in the RCP application. How about in RAP? Will the Swing UI rendering work or it has any compatible issue?

Thanks in Advance,
Jose

Look here:
http://eclipse.org/rap/developers-guide/devguide.php?topic=rwt/differences.html

If you require a specific missing feature, open an enhancement request
(if none exists). But if you want to be certain that it's implemented in
a specific time-frame, look for professional services, or contribute a
very solid patch.

The SWT_AWT bridge is not available in RAP. It probably never will be,
at least not in the foreseeable future.
