Need to go through all the TopComponents in VCS modules to see how they work with the new window system. 1) get a list of all TopComponents & modes 2) for each describe how they should behave in the new winsys and what is needed to do. The main problem will be with the floating TopComponents that are no more supported. They would be docked into the Editor (Documents) area by default. We need to decide if they - should go to Documents mode (default) - or to Output mode - or to some special mode - or be non-modal dialogs (to remain floating). See also issue 36119 which provides some suggestions. Issue 36489 lists some problems discovered so far (VCS outputs are mentioned). General guidelines are summarized in issue 36487.
See also issue 29836.
For the winsys2 merge to trunk we will ensure just that: - Versioning Explorer will appear in explorer mode and will be renamed to 'VCS Filesystems' - VCS Groups will appear in explorer mode too - both will be available in Window | Versioning menu for showing (versioning explorer must be enabled even when there is no versioned file/folder selected) - the other windows (mainly various VCS output window will appear in the editor area (like other documents). We already have some patches for the above, they will be integrated just after the merge (no need to branch vcs modules now). The patches will be tested and confirmed working before that by QA. We will do complete categorization of windows after the merge and plan for better integration with the new winsys (including redesign of some components to fit into the output area, fine-tuning of tab names, etc). Separate issue will be filed for this.
A snippet from the current spec describing names and icons of document windows (from http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/ws/ws_spec.html#3.3): ---------------- Some of the objects may have more than one associated document window, for example a form object can be viewed by source editor, form editor, and also by cvs viewers (annotate, diff, ...). One of the multiple document windows of an object is always a base document window of the object. All other document windows of that object are an extending document windows. For instance, in case of form object, the source editor is the base document window, and form editor, cvs viewers are the extending document windows. * Name of extending document window - name of the extending document window also corresponds to a name of object it displays, e.g. "ColorPicker". However, the name of the window contains also a suffix identifying the type of editor/viewer contained in the document window. The name pattern is following: "<object name> [<editor/viewer type>]". An example is "ColorPicker [Form]", "ColorPicker [VCS Annotate]", "ColorPicker [VCS Log]". * Icon of extending document window - icon of extending document window doesn't represent displayed object, but the editor or viewer type contained in the extending document window. For example, a form editor would have a special icon, all VCS viewers would have a special icon (not a special icon for each VCS command, but the same icon for all VCS type viewers).
Removing ws2merge keyword; this cannot be done before the merge - will be prepared and done just after the merge (so we need not branch).
Done. /cvs/diff/src/org/netbeans/modules/diff/builtin/DefaultDiff.java new revision: 1.11; previous revision: 1.10 /cvs/diff/src/org/netbeans/modules/diff/builtin/visualizer/DiffComponent.java new revision: 1.13; previous revision: 1.12 /cvs/diff/src/org/netbeans/modules/merge/builtin/visualizer/MergeDialogComponent.java new revision: 1.20; previous revision: 1.19 /cvs/javacvs/src/org/netbeans/modules/cvsclient/commands/DefaultInfoPanel.java new revision: 1.18; previous revision: 1.17 /cvs/vcsgeneric/profiles/cvsprofiles/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/cvsprofiles/commands/CvsAnnotate.java new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6 /cvs/vcsgeneric/profiles/cvsprofiles/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/cvsprofiles/visualizers/Bundle.properties new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2 /cvs/vcsgeneric/profiles/cvsprofiles/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/cvsprofiles/visualizers/OutputVisualizer.java new revision: 1.4; previous revision: 1.3 /cvs/vcsgeneric/profiles/cvsprofiles/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/cvsprofiles/visualizers/annotate/CvsAnnotateVisualizer.java new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2 /cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/commands/Bundle.properties new revision: 1.25; previous revision: 1.24 /cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/commands/CommandOutputVisualizer.java new revision: 1.23; previous revision: 1.22 /cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/grouping/VcsGroupMenuAction.java new revision: 1.15; previous revision: 1.14 /cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/versioning/impl/VersioningExplorer.java new revision: 1.12; previous revision: 1.11
