[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBIDE-2588) VPE on separate tab w/ lazy initialization

VPE on separate tab w/ lazy initialization ------------------------------------------ Key: JBIDE-2588 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2588 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Visual Page Editor Environment: debian/unstable, linux 32bit, eclipse 3.4 Reporter: arne anka Priority: Optional Attachments: vpe.png the vpe should reside on a separate tab, not together with source, and it should initialize only when openend. rationale: i am no big fan of visual editors but can imagine that there are situations when i might find it useful. so, when editing pages i do it with the source editor. having the vpe on the same tab it occupies space, even minimized, and is confusing -- a clean separation is desirable (source|visual|preview). additionally, the visual editor is initialized when the source editor is opened, regardless whether i ever use it. having the visual editor on it's own tab would allow lazy initialization, saving resources. re the versions: i see "Richfaces VPE Feature 2.0.0.200807200019-nightly", not clear to me which of the numbers in the selects above fits.
