| [nebula-dev] JFace-Viewer-API finished |
Hi. For all those not following the bugs dealing with the JFace-Viewers API I'd like to inform you that we have today released the final version to CVS. We changed some things e.g. reusing of ViewerRow instances, adding new Cell-Activation support, move some setting around. The bugs have been: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=172646 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174701 We think that we kept the system open to provide space for your customized implementation and on the other hand hide the viewer logic from you as much as possible. If I have time on the weekend I'll update the GridViewer to match the new API. I also want to mention that with this release the SWT-Table and SWT-Tree got new features which make them much more powerful (of course not as powerful as your custom-drawn controls) for all editing frontends and we even tried to provide hooks for the Databinding-Framework. A full featured example of the all the new JFace features is shown in the following snippet: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.snippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippets/viewers/Snippet026TreeViewerTabEditing.java?view=markup I the end thanks for the feedback we got from all the nebula guys hanging out here. I think together we created a really exciting new feature for the eclipse community no matter whether they use the nebula or SWT-Controls. Tom
