Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-23 16:09:26 EST 
Creating a Java Project opens the packages view in the Java Perspective and 
selects the new project but you do not have focus in the packages view.
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-01-24 05:56:49 EST 
This is the correct behaviour, the focus should not change automatically.
This is also consistent with the navigator behaviour.
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-01-24 09:05:55 EST 
Some action part should get focus when a new perspective is opened.
With the new perspectives story, the same view might even still be visible, so 
it should remain active.
This is a general UI issue, JDT should not do any special handling.
Reopening and moving to UI.
Comment 3 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-01-24 09:07:05 EST 
The above should read "Some part should get focus...".

This is an accessibility issue because keyboard users have to take an extra 
step to give a part focus.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-03-06 09:56:58 EST 
Not a section 508 requirement. Reclassifying as usability
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-09 12:31:06 EDT 
Still an issue in 20020803
Comment 6 Tod Creasey CLA 2006-06-22 08:34:02 EDT 
There are currently no plans to work on this feature
