Re: [jdt-ui-dev] Packages in Eclipse
|
then we should not filter them out by default but provide the user with an
optional filter to hide empty inner packages. If JDT and CodePro do this
then we are still consistent.
In flat mode, we...
1) Always filter out *all* empty, non-leaf, root packages that have names
that are three characters or less (this gets rid of things like "com",
"org", "uk", "ca", "edu", etc. while keeping standalone packages like
"foo"). This a useful heuristic that is 99.99% correct (folks can always
switch to tree mode to add classes to those filtered packages if necessary).
2) Always show all non-empty packages and all leaf packages
3) Provide a filter to control the display of empty, non-leaf (inner)
packages (does not effect #1 above)
CodePro already has this. You can switch from on to the other with one
click. But i am always i the flat mode (VAJ). Because of what i said above
that I don't see them as a directory structure.
<EG>
yep, this sounds similar to what we have implemented and use. Will CodePro
be contributed as open source to eclipse?
Parts of it may be released to open source, but, in general, CodePro Studio
is a commercial product that supports both VA Java and WSAD/Eclipse
(including an extensive array of interoperability features). Tell ya what,
though...as soon as IBM puts all of WSAD into open source, we will consider
doing the same with CPS. ;-)
BTW, if you want to read more about CPS, there is lots of info here:
