| <td class="title">Easier usage of LabelProvider and ColumnLabelProvider</td> |
| <td class="content"> |
| The <b><code>org.eclipse.jface.viewers.LabelProvider</code></b> and <b><code>org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ColumnLabelProvider</code></b> classes now |
| support lambda functions for their <b><code>getText()</code></b> and <b><code>getImage()</code></b> methods. |
| <p> |
| This is provided through the new static methods <b><code>createImageProvider()</code></b> and <b><code>createTextProvider()</code></b> respectively. |
| For use cases where the LabelProvider should implement both the <b><code>getText()</code></b> and <b><code>getImage()</code></b> methods, the static method <b><code>createTextImageProvider()</code></b> can be used. |
| </p> |
| <p>Former constructs like:</p> |
| <pre> |
| viewer.setLabelProvider(new LabelProvider() { |
| @Override |
| public String getText(Object element) { |
| return element.toString(); |
| } |
| @Override |
| public Image getImage(Object element) { |
| return defaultImage; |
| } |
| }); |
| </pre> |
| can now be replaced by: |
| <pre> |
| viewer.setLabelProvider(LabelProvider.createTextImageProvider(element -> element.toString(), |
| element -> defaultImage)); |

| <td class="content"> |
| As default Project Layout in Project Explorer has been switched to hierarchical, a new preference |
| is available for RCP providers who want to force Flat layout by default instead. The preference is |
| <code>org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources/defaultToFlatLayout</code> and can be set to <code>true</code> |
| in <code>plugin_customization.ini</code> or programatically <i>before</i> Project Explorer opens for |
| the first time, in order to force a Flat project layout. Subsequent change to this preference after |
| first initialization of Project Explorer will have no effect. |
