Description Troy Bishop CLA 2010-06-04 16:19:28 EDT 
Build Identifier: WTP 3.2

The server tooltip functionality is difficult to extend because of these two reasons:

1) The extension point is only loaded if the serverType defined in the extension point starts with the server id name.  I think this logic is backwards but it also could be improved to support regular expressions.

2) Any UI contributions added will end up being horizontally aligned to the current GeneralToolTip, causing the flow of the tooltip to be incorrect.  This is an easy fix by ensuring that the FillLayout is vertial aligned.

Attached is a patch which will correct both of these problems.

Reproducible: Always

v1.0

This patch replaces the previous patch from Troy. The previous patch does not work week when the tooltip information is multi line or the line is long.  This new patch provides better display to the extended tooltip.
