What's new in this drop

The workbench now reacts to runtime plugin activation. Known workbench extensions are recognized and the workbench is updated dynamically. In most cases these updates require no interaction from the user but several require the user to reset their perspectives. In these cases, the user is prompted with a dialog to that effect.

49274 [Activities] Cannot open preference dialog if previous selected node not in fitlered list

Integration Build (Tuesday, December 16, 2003)

What's new in this drop

The initial implementation of the platform UI colors API has been released. This API is analogous to the existing fonts API in that it provides a registry (see org.eclipse.jface.resource.JFaceResources.getColorRegistry()) from which instances of defined colors may be obtained and the org.eclipse.ui.colorDefinitions extension point which plugins may use to define them. Additionally, there is now a Colors preference page located under the Workbench page that allows user customization of colors.

Although the API is in place and relatively complete (see Bug 48745), the workbench does not yet utilize it for its own color needs. This will come for subsequent builds.

Breaking API Changes

Deprecated matching methods on IActivity and IActivityManager have been removed as well as getActivityManager() and setEnabledActivities() on IWorkbench. To accomodate for futher extensions, IWorkbench now inherits from IAdaptable and a new class IWorkbenchActivitySupport may be obtained in this way. IWorkbenchActivitySupport contains getActivityManager() and setEnabledActivities().

We have provided a new key configuration available on the keys preference page. This shows some of the ideas that might enter into the key bindings defined for 3.0. This is a rough draft, and prone to a lot of change. Please try it out, and provide feedback to either Bug 37934 or the platform-ui-dev mailing list.

Other highlights

Key configurations are no longer forced to inherit from the default key configuration.

CyclePartAction (used by the next/previous view/editor/perspective commands) now supports multiple-stroke key bindings. For example, if you bind "Next Editor" to "Ctrl+L Ctrl+E", then you can press "Ctrl+L Ctrl+E" to open the cycle part dialog and press "Ctrl+E" to continue cycling through the list.

Eclipse Integration Build 20030701

What's new in this drop

First cut of the responsive UI work. Following on from the job handling released by Core in M1 the UI team has released further support for the Job framework in the UI. It is now possible to create an instance of UIJob which will run in the UI Thread rather than in some other Thread supplied by the JobManager. This is a requirement for any code that must interact with an SWT component.

UIJob requires a Display to be able to run as it is run using an asynchExec. This Display must be set before the UIJob is scheduled. If a UIJob is used then the creator of the UIJob must also set the display to run it in and be sure that that display exists when the code is executed. An alternative to UIJob is the WorkbenchUIJob which will get a display from a WorkbenchWindow if one is not set.WorkbenchUIJob is defined in the org.eclipse.ui.workbench project and so it can be used by plugins with org.eclipse.ui.workbench as a prerequisite.

The first cut of the progress indicator is now also available. It is disabled by default. You can enable it by adding the line org.eclipse.ui.workbench/showProgressIndicator=true to the file plugin_customization.ini in org.eclipse.platform.
