make the width of the toggle dialog area resizable

[bastiK]

Not much to say about it.

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.

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?

[bastiK]

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?

lib included - should compile

[bastiK]

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.

[stoecker]

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

[bastiK]

I don't expect any problems with plugins.
