Applied, but stilll buggy. The three icons in the title line vanish in case the title text needs to be shortened.
Regarding vertical resizing - Can't we find an easier solution than including the library?

Maybe it is possible without the library, but it wouldn't be easy for sure.
Explanation:
Desired behaviour:
- All dividers stay fixed except the one that is dragged.
For MultiSplitPane it works like this by default.
The workaround (without the library) would be to nest multiple JSplitPane-s.
In this case, the construction acts rather strange and asymmetric (when the dividers are moved).
I played around with it to see if one can change the preferred sizes of the panels appropriately "on the fly" while the divider is dragged.
For what I can tell it doesn't work without considerable flickering.
Maybe it is somehow possible to avoid the flickering, but at large it is not worth the efford, when there is a library supporting exactly this. (It is written by a Sun employee, btw.)
It's a minor feature, so maybe we don't need it after all. :)

Can you provide a patch using the library. Do we need to include the library as binary or can we add it to the SVN as externals?

I haven't found any repository, so i think it is not possible.
Anyway, there are just two files - Maybe we can put them in the source tree directly.

I think some of the plugins must be updated as well, thus not closed yet.

I don't expect any problems with plugins.
(-> Please reopen if something shows up.)
I can do the vertical splitting as well. (Change height of the dialogs)
For this, it would be required to include the Multisplitpane library. (LGPL v. 2 and later; jar is 45kB in size)
Please tell me, if you want that.
