Description eadams 2002-05-23 11:16:34 UTC
The first two step of the Import Management Wizard has some layout issues
that make it hard to use.

The first step has a very large area for the class name and then three
very narrow columns labelled:

    Fully Qualifi...  | Source Text  |Package Na...

The columns are not wide enough to show the full titles and are typically
not wide enough to adequately show the data.

The Package Name and the Fully Qualified Name are clearly going to be
wider than the the Source Text, yet they are all the same width.  The
Class Name column is enormous by comparison.

This is fixed as sideefect of replacing ListTableView by
TreeTableView. See issue #23895 for more details.

Ok, I lost all my comments, trying again.

The new layout is much better.  It works well for
step 1 but does not work very well for step 2.

It appears that the columns are now equal-width.
In step 2, the preferred layout would be for columns
2 and 3 to be the width of the titles, column 4 to 
be the width of its widest entry ("Create Import Statement")
and column to use the remaining width.

I'm attaching images to show the current layout and the
proposed layout.
