Description Jim des Rivieres CLA 2003-04-25 18:00:08 EDT 
Add table of contents support to wizards. Extend the workbench wizard 
framework to allow Eclipse wizard developers to provide much more substantial 
and significant user feedback. [Platform UI] [Theme: User experience]

From gaby.wenneker@sap.com

Does "table of contents" mean that developers will be able to provide a list 
of wizard steps the user has to go through (example: 
http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/at/book/Wizards2.html)? This would really 
improve the user experience, since it greatly helps in concept understanding 
and orientation within a wizard (that why it is generally accepted design 
guideline for wizards).
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-08-21 13:31:16 EDT 
The last idea was to have a solution that did not take up as much real estate 
as the one that Gaby pointed out - it was going to be a smaller area at the 
top of the dialog. There is currently no plan to proceed with this item in any 
upcoming milestones, hence the low priority.

Deferred.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2004-02-11 16:53:42 EST 
This is no longer planned for Eclipse
