[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17554) Properties: modal progress dialog shows up if properties view displays connection before it was loaded

[Andre Dietisheim (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17554?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12974165#comment-12974165 ] 

Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-17554:
------------------------------------------

It would have been nice if we would have been able to show up the properties view blank, load the connection in the background and refresh it once the informations are ready. Unfortunately there's apparently no way for the ConnectionPropertySource (IPropertySource) to fire some change that the properties view would listen to: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=96838

It might be possible if we create our own, custom properties view which would refresh when 437786
the connection fires a change event: http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t99451.html

TabbedPropertiesView seems to be able to listen to changes in SectionInput; http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Tabbed-Properties/tabbed_properties_view.html

> Steps to reproduce:
> # ASSERT: make sure you have at least 1 connection and it is not loaded yet (you'd most likely have to freshly start Eclipse since OpenShift cashes its resources)
> # ASSERT: make  sure you have properties view opened "hidden" (ex. in the bottom section, opened but not visible)
> # ASSERT: make sure you have OpenShift Explorer visible (ex. in bottom section on top of properties view)
> # EXEC: in OpenShift explorer: select your connection
> # EXEC: switch to Properties view
> Result:
> Some modal dialog with progress shows up while the connection details are loaded
