Description Peter Zavadsky 2003-03-27 14:52:14 UTC 
The implementation has to reside in core/windows
module purely. Only exposed API will be some
methods from WindowManagerImpl (should be
specified by some interface), basically just load
& save (btw. setVisible).

The core/windows module may not be dependant from
core module.

It means there will be moved all classes from
org.netbeans.core.windows package (and
subpackages) except MiniStatusBar (it is
NbMainExplorer implementation doesn't have to do
with winsys anythin). 
Plus also classes NbPresenter, NbDialog, i.e.
DialogDisplayer impl.
Comment 1 Peter Zavadsky 2003-03-30 07:48:40 UTC 
Now it seems (as I looked into core/output) vice versa. I.e. the core
has to be independent. 
So there is necessary to have some kind of callback which will start
and finish window system.
Comment 2 Peter Zavadsky 2003-03-30 14:42:44 UTC 
I just separated the new winsys in the branch [winsys_29836]

I'm not sure about all changes.
I moved there also NbPresenter, NbDialog, also NbNodeOperation
(renamed). All those things seem to be dependant on window system. 

(Here I separated Sheet (named NbSheet) from NbNodeOperation. which is
properties component implementation and has nothing to do with winsys.

Also toolbars, which are kind of individual, and needs to be
redesigned (their creation - showing are too tight to fs changes).

The bridge between core and core/windows are now designated by
NbTopManager.WindowSystem interface which offers basic control over
window system.
Comment 3 Peter Zavadsky 2003-03-30 14:46:08 UTC 
Forgot to mention, I also repackaged window system classes (in that
branch).
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2003-03-31 17:49:35 UTC 
Sounds basically right.

IMHO things like default explorer & property sheet components should
be in core-ui.jar.

Toolbars should be in core-windows.jar; don't worry about persistence
of these at the moment - David K. can talk about how they should be
stored in the future.

I think NbDialog was used from NbErrorManager directly, make sure that
is still working sensibly.
Comment 5 Peter Zavadsky 2003-04-02 06:55:33 UTC 
Fixed in [winsys_29836] branch.

It is now in modules/core-windows.jar



Note: There will be later probably separated the DialogDisplayer etc.
from it.
