I am not quite satisfied with how the window system currently shows/closes windows in response to different user actions. A small example: - I open a JSF page in Design view => palette window is shown - I switch to Java view => palette is still visible. I close it - I switch to the design view => where is my palette? although NB does not have workspaces anymore, this is probably what I would like to have. A simple combobox in the tool bar where I can switch between different "activities". My activities would be something like "Debugging" "JSF visual editing" "UI visual editing" "Code editing" also the way how Shift+Esc works in the last version seems too complicated to me. But it is not that important but also probably a part of the issue. Window system currently does not work properly IMHO with multi view top components and if it would, we end having dozens of different window configurations: - for the design view - for the design view in maximized mode - for the java code view - for the java code view in maximized mode - for the jsp view ....
-the palette problem should be fixed in 6.1 - issue 62964 -there is a perspectives plugin that probably fits your "workspaces" request - http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=3273 -I got lost with the shift+esc issue -Could please re-evaluate this issue according to the new informations that I've provided. And please rephrase your concerns/opinions -> one problem one issue. It seems that there is a plenty of different things mixed up in this issue I'm closing as worksforme, half of the issue has been fixed and the other one I didn't get -> feel free to reopen or follow the advice above thank you for the report
Thanks for the link. I will try it out.
