Description Petr Jiricka 2007-02-21 13:19:35 UTC

Currently, the xml/multiview module contains two parts - one is the
synchronization framework, and one is the UI implementation for the "section
view". However, the section view UI is useful also without the synchronization
framework, so it should be moved to a separate module.

Comment 1 Petr Jiricka 2007-02-21 13:20:57 UTC

I suggest j2ee/sectionview as the location for the new module.

Comment 2 Andrei Badea 2007-02-21 15:46:48 UTC

The description implies that there will be clients using the section view alone,
so it seems the new module will have to provide some API. I suggest to try to
separate that API with evolution in mind, so that it can become stable at some
point.

I know xml/multiview is not in a shape allowing it to be turned into a stable
API anytime soon, so I view this issue as an opportunity to stabilize at least a
part of it.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
