Hi,
I am playing with the FormSection class and getting an weird behavior. When
I open my editor with an expanded form section, the form's control is 3 or 4
lines higher than what I would like it to be. If I collapse and expand the
form, the height is adjusted to the expected value. What am I missing?
Btw, I know this is an internal API and that we should not be using it. But
I need to implement the PDE editor's look & feel so I need to use those
classes (better than keeping reinventing the wheel). I am now trying to
decide if I should leave a dependency to an internal package or if I should
copy the jar to my plugin. Any tips here? Another related question: does
anyone know why the org.eclipse.update.ui.forms.internal.* classes are not
part of API?
Thx in advance!

Luiz,
I started a small project that extracts the minimal components required
for a collapsable textbox. If you'd like to take a look,
:pserver:anonymous@cvs.zclipse.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/zclipse
(CollapsableTextBox project, run using the XTextboxTester)
I started looking into extracting this for the same reason you list
below, so that I'm not using internal APIs. I'd definitely like to get
access to the PDE stuff, but I can understand why eclipse is reluctant
to add every complex widget to the core public API.
Incidentally, I'm interested in creating or hooking into a component
repository where working code components can be freely shared and used.
As it relates to your post, if eclipse won't make the PDE widgets
public, and you are able to extract the widgets yourself, it would be
nice to have a one-stop shop for finding your work and not have to
reinvent the wheel (org.zclipse.zlibrarian project in the same cvs
repository is the thing I've just started working on).
