Platform UI
The Problems, Bookmarks and Tasks views are now based on a new provisional API viewer (the ExtendedMarkersView) that has a new look, implements many long standing feature requests and is reusable by RCP applications who wish to use a customizable marker view of their own.
New problems view
Some of the user feature highlights are
- Predefined filters for all errors and warnings on selection
- Union or Intersection of problems showing
- A forms based configuration dialog
- Use of the commands defined in the workbench rather than custom actions. This will allow consistency with key bindings and the main window menu
- Working sets as first class selection sources. For instance, if the package view is showing working sets and the problems view is filtering on selection you will only see the problems in that working set.
- Show multiple content sets. The Problems view allows you to see all markers or just the problems.
Forms based configuration dialog
Some of the RCP features are
- API markers view
- Ability to set visible columns based on content
- Menus built entirely by commands for easier extensibility
- Reuse of system commands
The trim is becoming a more versatile area; used now for minimized trim and extendable through the 'org.eclipse.ui.menus' extension point. In order to handle the growing number of trim elements we've decided to grow the trim as well ...it'll now wrap if there isn't enough space to display all the elements in one row (or column).
You can now close view and editor tabs by clicking anywhere on the tab using the middle mouse button. If your mouse does not have a dedicated middle button, try clicking on the mouse wheel if you have one.
