Hi Stefan, +1 for enabling it by default. Please open a bug for that so that we can have the discussion in bugzilla. Best regards, Lars On Tue, May 7, 2019 at 9:34 PM Stefan Winkler < stefan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi all,
as of today, ToolTip support is implemented for the Common Navigator Framework
(see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=178019 and https://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news.git/plain/4.12/platform_isv.html?id=6e646333fe6e5d33ee65d73d06c4493d75a65267 )
I have implemented it defensively which means that it is disabled by default and the implementor of a CommonViewer must opt-in by specifying a property in the viewer’s descriptor (plugin.xml).
(We could also discuss about switching it on per default and opt-out using a property, but I felt it is more backwards-compatible that way…)
Now, the question is: Do we want to switch tooltip support on for the Project Explorer? Or better: Does anyone have anything against enabling it?
Doing so would enable 3rd party projects (JDT, CDT, etc.) to provide custom tooltips on Project Explorer Content.
Is there any other CommonViewer in the Eclipse IDE that should have tooltip support enabled?
I’d be happy to contribute the necessary changes.
Comments welcome and appreciated.
Have a great day!
Stefan
