  • Blocking issues:
    • Expansion and sorting in tree view is not working
    • Cannot control whether checkbox is visible or not for individual elements
    • Sharing code is difficult with just patches
  • Detail Pane
    • It's a requested feature :-)
    • Need to implement a standard detail pane so that we don't have blank space.
  • If a model overrides the breakpoints view input, its content provider is responsible for grouping.
    • May need to
  • Checkbox support in flexible hierarchy viewer (bug 286310)
    • Need to have more review of this patch, but otherwise the patch could be contributed
    • Issue: if an element check box is grayed, the user can still check an element.
  • Test plugin (286981)
    • Need to check tests in.
    • Need to add new plugin to map file, and it may need to be added to a test feature.
    • Do test build.
  • Model proxy factory
    • Need to do it in backward compatible way, to avoid creating unnecessary pain.
    • Using a patch in factory would make it easy to uninstall proxy factories.
• Long term intentions to get commit rights?
  • No answer.
• Breadcrumb notification
• JDT debugger on DSF

Action

• Set up demo of Memory Browser
