Fixed view size [message #457260]

I noticed that in Eclipse Java Perspective the side views, like Package
Explorer, and the bottom views, like Console, are kept with fixed width or
height, respectively.

I would like to implement this exact behaviour.
I guess I need to code this, as the sizes are always specified by
percentage.

I'm trying to find JDT code that does that, but I'm not finding it.
Can anybody point to the right code?

Thanks in advance,
Danilo

Hi,

> I'm trying to find JDT code that does that, but I'm not finding it.

Why are you thinking you may find such an example in the JDT Code, as far as
I see, there are no fixed size views in JDT.

I have the same problem like you. I want to create a "navigation view" with
a fixed width. Did you already solve this problem?

Best regards
Hannes

I agree that it doesn't seem possible to have a fixed size view today.
This is one of the items requested in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=151715

Perhaps the original post was referring to the fact that when the window
is resized in a particular direction, the extra area goes to the editor
(if any, if possible).

We have exactly the same need for a navigation view. We've resorted to
overriding WorkbenchWindowAdvisor.createWindowContents(), creating the
fixed panel within the shell, but outside of the workbench proper.

Unfortunately, this approach adds a lot of complexity. Also there are
limitations; see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=73821

Yes, I wasn't aware of the editor.
I don't use editors, just views. That makes my life a little more difficult.

Can you send a small code snippet how you solved this?

thanks
