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.
Set target milestone to TBD
passing to winsys guys and marking with architecture keyword.
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
I hope this enh is obsolete and not needed now, as TopComponent has the method to be not serialized, it should be enough.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.
verified or just very old
