Reassigning to the specification owner. :-) yes i realized this after redesigning it to behave more like a compiler. this leads me to think that it should be a separate dialog for editing the selected doclet -something similar to the original design. you objected to a separate dialog then so here's your chance to make another suggestion. cL I objected against the pop-up dialogs, bcs. they feel very differently
from the rest of the Tools | Options system. Unlike all "browse..."
and such helper modal popups, these were quite complex.
Maybe either of suggestion in issue #23034 would work well. Please
note that doclets behave much like the compilers. There may be
multiple "engines" - especially the commercionally available ones can
have an extended set of options.
There's quite a few of options in the Doclet; the compiler-style combo
doclet switcher won't be good here.
So the options here I think are (as you suggested in 23034):
+ JavaDoc
+ Doclets
+d1
+ category1
or
+ JavaDoc
+ Doclets
+d1
and make the categories tabs in the right dialog: there will be only a
fixed (rather small) number of them, for any particular the doclet type.
Now, what UI will be used create a new doclet definition ? Or could we
just allow to plug in and leave the doclet management (creation,
deletion) to the Advanced ?
it seems to me that limiting it to advanced wouldn't be consistent with how we are treating other service types... the problem is that there isn't much room for changing the layout of the ui for the doclets so the stuff will have to be broken into more panels. so either more panels enlarging the tree, or tabbed dialog at the right with those panels on individual tabs (one level taken from the tree), OK ? i've got a sketch that involves more nodes since tabs aren't used anywhere else i'd like to see how it works without the tab approach... i'll post it next week as i'm getting ready to visit a customer the last half of this week. cL As the option system won't make it to 3.4, moving the reports to the nearest later version/milestone fixed this in the current revision of the doc Svato, please could you verify this, I cannot find mentioned part at all. Closing. |
