Description blacharz 2015-05-19 19:17:59 UTC
Good day.

When putting lots of virtual machine arguments to the text field, one becomes unreadable. One have to scroll through whole text field. 

It would be better to have the window higher (i.e. the text area) so the arguments could be placed one below another, e.g.

Current approach:

agr1=val1 arg2=val2 agr3=val3 ... and so on.

Suggested, more readable approach:

agr1=val1
arg2=val2
agr3=val3
...
and so on.

Of course, vertical scroll bar should appear, right after arguments exceed the total height of the text area.

Currently, professionally i work in a project which has quite substantial number of the arguments configured (dev environment requirement, mostly webshpere specific items), and scrolling them horizontally is a real pain.

Eclipse IDE could be a good approach here.


Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

Best regards.

Hi,

I have checked the result in the development build. The result is even better than anticipated :-)

Great job and thank you very much for such a lightning fast reaction on the fault report.

Best regards.

Hello.

Sorry for reopening the ticket.

Is there a possibility to improve one more thing?

When the property value is long, then the text area automatically wraps the text. I guess it would be nice to have a check-box, which would enable/disable text wrapping. In case the text is not wrapped, a horizontal scroll bar would be beneficial here. That would make the long property value to fit in one line (if not wrapped, of course).

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
