Using 0129, I cannot resize this dialog. This is quite frustrating, because with long projects and package names there is a lot of scrolling involved to select the classes for which I want the javadoc to be generated. So this dialog is either too small or should be resizable. I vote for the second solution since this might be the more flexible solution.
This is the standard export wizard, which is provided by the platform. Moving to platform to comment on the request to make the dialog resizable. If not, then we can enlarge the wizard pages, but this might be a sub-optimal solution.
The question is more: Why are this dialog non-resizable? I think it is pretty frustrating not being able to resize a window, especially when I have a tree in a small frame.
I have checked all of our wizard pages and they exapd just fine. I see no reason to not do this. Subject to approval for 2.1 as we are in M5.
All wizard pages in the SDK handle resizing, including all of PDEs? If so we can go ahead, but it's late to be putting in a change like this and I don't want to distract other teams from bug fixing.
Yes they do. However there are lot of other people outside of Eclipse who will be working on this - it is likely a good 2.2 idea.
I think we should defer to 2.2.
This remains a serious usability issue. For example, without resizing, the javadoc wizard is useless. I prefer to use the command line tool.
Why is it useless? Perhaps there's a deeper usability issue here than just the size of the dialog.
Maybe. But being able to resize this dialog might make it useful. Right now if you want to generate the javadoc you constantly need to scroll to find the classes or packages you want to export. Too bad if this is not fixed for 2.1.
I think the layout of the javadoc wizard is the bigger issue here - they should size the two panes more like the regular export dialogs.
I have verified with Kevin that products building on top of Eclipse 2.1 will not have time to adjust to this change. Recommend having the Javadoc wizard specify a larger initial size.
I have logged Bug 31169 about the javadoc case and I am renaming this one to be more general. If Pires or Henry scores against United next week I will fix this first thing in the 2.1 stream <grin>....
I meant 2.2 stream...

is something planed for 3.0?
Tod, do you have any fresh ideas here? I still don't see how to do this without causing breakage. Martin, how does the JDT team feel about having to ensure that all JDT wizards be able to adjust to resizing?
My (optimistic) guess is that most of our wizards would already handle a resize correctly and if not- we would fix it ASAP!
I think it is just a matter of setting the resize flag. I checked all of this back in 2.1 and there wasn't any resize breakage - the fact that these have to be designed for different fonts anyways means that most pages should just work.
Well, we did this for the preferences dialog a while back, and clients seem to have adjusted. It's worth a shot.
just tried in I20040521 and it is fixed
