| <h4><a NAME="Overall_Planning"></a>The overal themes for Platform Text are: |
| </h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li> Increase editing comfort and usability </li> |
| <li> Provide infrastructure for allowing custom editors to implement higher |
| level comfort functions </li> |
| <li> Increase degree of configurability </li> |
| <li> Bug fixing </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4> Planned items:</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li> Architectural issues </li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> move text into a separate |
| component </li> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> allow the usage of the text |
| model without introducing dependencies on UI elements </li> |
| <li> generalize JDT editor concepts and integrate them into Platform |
| Text </li> |
| <ul> |
| <li><img src="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> JDT painter support</li> |
| <li> (JDT template engine with emphasis on separate linked position |
| support)</li> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| <li> <img src="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Improve test infrastructure |
| and increase test coverage </li> |
| <li> Customization </li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Eating content assist infrastructure </li> |
| <li> Resizable content assist, info popups, and hovers</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Win </li> |
| <li> (GTK)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li> (XML configurability (configuration dimensions as extension points, |
| UI for selecting one if only one can be active at one point in time))</li> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Allow for an open number |
| of content assists/information popups (different popups required such |
| as tables and trees)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li> <img src="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Default text editor</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> line numbers</li> |
| <li> preference page </li> |
| <li> line highlighting (depends on generalized painter support)</li> |
| <li> error indication (depends on generalized painter support)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li> Presentation </li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> (support for highlighting a set of ranges (depends on generalized |
| painter support))</li> |
| <li> folded documents</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> document model</li> |
| <li> (ruler - UI) </li> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| <li> Improved navigation and typing support</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> smart home/end </li> |
| <li> (anonymous bookmarks (overlap with Platform UI))</li> |
| <li> (editor as drop target)</li> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> allow custom editors to provide |
| the logic for smart paste</li> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> jump to last edit position</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li> (Editors and none resources)</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> open editor on a java.io.file rather than IFile </li> |
| <li> support for more abstract editable source than IFile such as IEditableEditorInput</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> validateEdit</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4> Investigations</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <img src="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Generalization of JDT overview |
| ruler </li> |
| <li> <img src="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Unification and simplification |
| of painter and text presentation infrastructure </li> |
| <li> <img src="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Support for structure editing</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4> Cross team issues with Platform Text involvement</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Configurable key bindings</li> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> Navigation history </li> |
| <li> File encoding</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <img SRC="ok.gif" height=10 width=10> text internal solution</li> |
