Modeling the Workbench and the Things in It
- DOM/CSS
- we need a simple uniform model API that can be styled much like is possible DOM and CSS
- Provider style API
- we need some type of uniform API for impossing a view structure on a model instance, i.e., a unification of ILabelProvider, IContentProvider, IFontProvider, and so on.
- Event Bus
- we need to make it easier to register listeners in a central location
- Commands
- we need a uniform mechanism for changing state
- Tools for Modeling
- we need high level tools to make it easy to develop models
- Data binding
- we need a mechanism for mapping a model of the data onto a model of the user interface
- Constraints
- we need ways of enforcing consistency
Current Eclipse GUI Artifacts
- Workbench Window(s) (sizing frame, sys menu, min/max/close button?)
- Main Menu (visible?, items)
- Items/Sub-Menus
- Trim
- Top Trim
- CBanner (visible?, split/tiled?
- Main TB
- Toolbars(groups) (chevrons?), Sub-Menus
- Perspective Switcher
- Menu Button (action, context menu)
- Perspective Buttons (radio set, chevron?)
- Main TB
- CBanner (visible?, split/tiled?
- Left Trim
- Minimized Stack
- Bottom Trim
- StatusLine (items...)
- Stuff (FVB, Progress...)
- Top Trim
- Main Menu (visible?, items)
- Client Area (what's left over after the trim has been arranged)
- Global Views (currently called 'sticky' views)
- Perspective
- Detached Windows for the active persp
- Main Layout (ViewSashContainer)
- Editor Area (Visible?, state)
- EditorSashContainer
- EditorStack(s) (chevron)
- Sticky Right (ViewStack)
- ViewStack(s)
- ToolBar
- CTabFolder (Site..., min/max handling 'supportsState'
- items (label, image, active?, selected?)

- What you don't (sometimes):
- Detached Windows for inactive persps
- ShellPool
- Context menus
- views open in other persps
- pages(?) for non active persps
- ContainerPlaceHolders
- ViewPlaceHolders (preferred location)
- Trim in the activation chain
