Description _ hair 2002-05-06 13:37:12 UTC

In WorkspaceImpl there is a method:
createMode(name, displayName, icon, userDefined);
that allows a userDefined mode to be created that
will not be persistent.
But in the OpenIDE there is no method to achieve this.

Can this method be added to Workspace's Interface.

An example (see URL), 
would be instead of leaving the Mode creation to
the TC [via tc.open() creating a userDefined Mode], 
the developer wishes to workspace.createMode(), 
to modify the mode before it is opened, 
ie mode.setBounds(..); 
Now the Mode is persistent (not userDefined)
without the developer wanting the serialise
behaviour change.

Mike the Hair, could I mark this issue as enhancement rather then
defect? Thanks.

passing to winsys guys and marking with architecture keyword.

Comment 5 Peter Zavadsky 2002-07-25 14:09:53 UTC

What is "non-peristent" mode? What should happen if I put persistent
component into it (is then the mode persistent or not?).

Passing to new owner

Comment 7 David Simonek 2005-05-02 16:29:40 UTC

I hope this enh is obsolete and not needed now, as TopComponent has the method
to be not serialized, it should be enough. For modes, ideally client programmer
should not worry about them. Closing as wontfix.
Please reopen or preferably enter new issue if you have some specific use case
which is still not possible to achieve, thx.
