Re: [nebula-dev] New control submission
|
We're now ready to start reviewing contributions! I'm going to forward
the older emails so we can start the discussion and the vote.
First, here's David's submission below.
I'm familiar the CompositeTable. The other contributions look
interesting. My only concern is the dependencies. Dave, do these
widgets require JFace? Do they depend on any databinding or ve
libraries?
Regards,
-Chris

Taking the contribution process steps from the web site in reverse order:
3) The controls I am contributing to Nebula have already passed the
Eclipse IP process because they were developed as a part of work on
the Eclipse Platform project's data binding framework entirely within
the Eclipse IP guidelines. I am the sole committer on those controls
and my IP paperwork is up to date.
2) I am already a committer on Eclipse Platform and Visual Editor and
my IP paperwork is up to date with the Eclipse Foundation.
1) The controls:
a) CompositeTable. Is an SWT table control natively supporting
in-place editing, custom row layouts like rows with two lines similar
to a checkbook register and much more. It is fully virtual--it only
creates graphical controls for data it can actually display and only
requests data that it can currently display. It is designed to
integrate nicely with the Eclipse Visual Editor. Without adding any
special support to VE, you can edit CompositeTable objects graphically
today.
b) DayEditor. This is a graphical calendar control similar to
Outlook's or PalmOS's day or work week view. It supports laying out
events that overlap in time, all-day events, and when driven using
JFace data binding supports events that span multiple days. It can
display one day column, two day columns, n day columns--as many as
will fit on the screen comfortably. This work builds on and extends
CompositeTable.
c) (coming soon): MonthEditor. Like the DayEditor, but
displaying/editing a whole month at a time. This work builds on and
extends CompositeTable.
The code:
Repository: :extssh:<username>@dev.eclipse.org:/home/eclipse
Project: org.eclipse.jface.examples.databinding
Packages: org.eclipse.jface.examples.databinding.compositetable.*
