Description Stefan Xenos CLA 2004-06-30 19:39:54 EDT 
This enhancement requests the following:

1. Create a presentation that assumes a tab-folder-like appearance, but allows
the actual tab folder implementation and algorithm for tab ordering to be pluggable.
2. Update the default presentation and r21 presentation to use the new class.
3. Expose helper classes for standard system menu contributions as API.

Current implementation

Here's an initial stab at the API.

AbstractTabFolder, AbstractTabFolderListener, and AbstractTabItem are pretty
much good to go. The rest of the classes still need some work.

Andrew: I've refactored somewhat since our first discussion. I rearranged
things so that AbstractTabFolder uses set methods for everything rather than
asking for information from IPresentablePart. This does some nice things:
1. AbstractTabFolder implementations are now potentially useful outside of the
presentation framework.
2. AbstractTabFolder doesn't need to attach any listeners to IPresentablePart
(which has been a frequent source of memory leaks).

Current workbench patch (aug 12)

Here's the latest code. This version of the patch includes a new version of the
default presentation which has been mostly ported to the new API, and a native
presentation.

Comment 10 Stefan Xenos CLA 2004-08-18 18:31:46 EDT 
Note: the new implementation of the default presentation will depend on the SWT
enhancements in bug 72217.
Comment 11 Paul Webster CLA 2006-09-28 15:13:45 EDT 
Is this still a problem in 3.3?

Comment 13 Lars Vogel CLA 2014-05-02 04:47:35 EDT 
The PresentationAPI has been deprecated with the Eclipse 4.x release and it has been replaced with the CSS engine. I therefore close this bugs as WONTFIX. In case your bug report is still valid for the Eclipse 4.4 release, please open a new bug report for it.
