[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4976) Hook JBoss Tools Palette into standard Eclipse GEF Palette view

Tue Oct 6 10:20:49 EDT 2009

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4976?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12488607#action_12488607 ] 

Viacheslav Kabanovich commented on JBIDE-4976:
----------------------------------------------

The standard Palette view, accessible by "Window->Show View->Others->General->Palette" will be shown in the right top part of Web Development and Seam perspectives instead of JBoss Tools Palette, which will still remain at "Window->Show View->Others->Jboss Tools Web->JBoss Tools Palette", but may at a later time be removed if users are entirely satisfied with new Palette.

There are only two differences in behaviour between new and old Palette.
1) New Palette is filled only when Visual Page Editor is open and activated, while old Palette is static.
2) Expanded/Collapsed state of tabs in new Palette is not global as in old Palette, but associated with instance of Visual Page Editor - it can be different for different files, and each new file open in Visual Page Editor will have the default state of Palette with all tabs collapsed.

Though the behaviour of new Palette is standard for Eclipse, these two differences may be found inconvenient for some of our customers that are used to global kind of expanded/collapsed state and also prefer the opportunity to customize Palette before they start working on a project (before they open Visual Page Editor). That is why I recommend to keep old Palette accessible through "Window->Show View" menu and to mention in documentation the opportunity to access it.
