How does the enhanced view in the wtp relate to the regular view with
categories? Are the tabs just another way to represent categories or something
more?

I'd
like to reuse the categories but the view from the wtp seems to work with
extension points (from what I've read in the
proposal).
It looks like that side-tab presentation in the wtp enhanced properties
view is a variant of CTabFolder, my favorite class :). One way to approach it
is to enhance/replace CTabFolder first so it can handle tabs on the side,
hover highlight, maybe even multiple tab rows/columns and sideways text while
we're at it. Then separately to spec out the underlying model. Totally
separating the properties and their presentation sounds like a good idea,
allowing for more than one alternate presentation.

Yep.
Hi!
I'm planning an enhanced Properties view as
contribution to Eclipse.org. It should be based on the new forms UI. I found
an already working implementation in the intial IBM code contribution to the
wtp.
Now I'm looking for anybody with specific
interest in this view. I'd like to improve it and I'd like to see it
integrated into the Eclipse Platform. Any
input/discussions/interest?
Cu, Gunnar
