Description Jesse Glick 2002-10-17 16:03:48 UTC
Suggestion - to make it easier to create your own
Explorer tabs, move the status bar to the APIs as
a utility class. I suggest the Explorer View
package; in fact I think it could be a real view,
i.e. search for ExplorerManager.Provider to find
the associated ExplorerManager.

With such a change, you would just need to make a
TopComponent, add a BeanTreeView to the center and
a MiniStatusBar to the south, set a root context,
and you would be done.

Core-supplied tabs need to also listen to
IDESettings to see if the status bar should be
turned on or off, I guess. No proposed equivalent
for module-supplied tabs; they can display it or
not at their discretion.

Passing to Jiri.
Please have a look at it, if it is worth beeing API. 

Currently there are two same codes of MiniStatusBar, in core and in
projects.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2003-01-16 15:14:01 UTC
A somewhat different suggestion:

Make it possible to turn status bar on or off from a context menu in
BeanTreeView (i.e. if you right-click on blank space) or from the
status bar itself (if currently visible). Remove property from
IDESettings. Store status bar on/off state in the ExplorerPanel when
externalizing - BeanTreeView could e.g. use a client property for
this, to avoid introducing a public getter/setter into ExplorerPanel.
Make "on" the default.

Shouldn't this issue be closed?  MiniStatusBar is long dead.
Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2005-07-13 22:21:41 UTC
I guess so.
