Re: [albireo-dev] Focus Management - the next steps

I'm done with my initial pass now.
All of the current workarounds are win32-specific. The only Gtk problem
I found is this one:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Albireo_Focus_Management_Test_Cases#Do_not_steal_focus_when_populating_Swing_controls
I don't yet have a fix for this problem. My best attempt so far involved
temporary use of setFocusedWindowState(false) on the AWT frame during
its initial display. However, this did not work consistently, and it
caused problems with SwingControls that should be receiving focus on
initial display. For example, EmbeddedJTableView would not take focus at
all after its initial display until I brought another window into focus.
As for Problems A-E from ILOG, I was able to reproduce E on Windows but
not Gtk. I was not able to reproduce the others on either platform. I
tried all combinations of Eclipse 3.3/3.4, Java 1.5/1.6, WindowsXP/Gtk.
Maybe I'm just not understanding the steps necessary to reproduce these
problems. In any case, if there are other focus problems with the
current code on any platform, it would be good to update the wiki page
with that information.
For now, I will move on to merging of the remaining code from both
contributions. This includes popup support (both SWT and AWT) and other
miscellaneous items. I hope to be done by the end of the week which
should give us some time to make it better and more stable by EclipseCon.
