--------------------------------------

Max,

> [10/17/2011 11:49:53 PM] Max Rydahl Andersen says: why is project examples and docs collapsed by default ?

Now those sections are expanded. Do examples categories need to be expanded too?

> [10/17/2011 11:50:10 PM] Max Rydahl Andersen says: and the layout of news/blogs seem to not scale with the available space
> [10/17/2011 11:51:12 PM] Max Rydahl Andersen says: only if I make it full screen do they show up as 50/50

There are two containers within a forms editor page: 
ScrolledComposite IManagedForm.getForm() 
Composite IManagedForm.getForm().getBody()

The sections are resized based on IManagedForm.getForm().getBody(). If the editor isn't maximized, the scrollbars would look as in the screenshot below.

They are properly shown on Windows XP and Linux. I suppose that there is a problem with Mac because no one scrollbar appears.

Try the attached patch (mac.patch).

The patch resizes a section based on IManagedForm.getForm() on Mac OS.
When I use the above IManagedForm.getForm() on Windows and Linux, I see a large blank space in the news/blogs container and only 1-2 entries are visible.

What version of Mac and Eclipse (Carbon or Cocoa) do you use? I have seen you have some more issues on Mac (JBIDE-9756) that are not happening on Linux, Windows and some other Macs.
It is possible that this is an upstream bug.

BTW
Is the issue shown on the https://issues.jboss.org/secure/attachment/12347962/screenshot0.png screenshot fixed now?

> We should look into either using the welcome screen, a single "dashboard" editor or possibly multiple views to provide a "single place to start" for JBT/JBDS users.
> This work have separate parts (might consider splitting this out in separate jiras):
> A. Create (or reuse) a feed agregator to show
>     Make that feed customizable from plugin customization to allow JBDS to control it.
> B. Setup and workout best way to use p2 discovery API and what it means for our 3rd party updatesites?
> C. Integrate important File > New Wizards and/or project examples to provide front and center.
