Description hantsy 2010-09-05 05:10:39 UTC

1.Filter interface.
2.Sorter interface.
3.A common native toolbar for the TopComponent, provide declarive way to add action reference to it(I am very tired of current different toolbars in various TC, I will capture some screenshot for these).
4.A drop down menu, also provide declarative way to add action reference to it.
5.Easy way to embed a veiw into this TopCompponent and track the Node selection status, make the action(in toolbar and dropdown menu) context sensetive.
6.Auto shift the UI layout like IntelliJ IDEA, eg. move the TC to right ,the toolbar is on the top while move the output postion, the toolbar is on the left of TC.
7.Provide easy way to contribute new feature to the existed TC or create a new TC like Eclipse CNF.
