[Cobalt-developers] User interface in MarkingCategoryFrame

[Harri <har...@tu...>]

Hi,

I was thinking about the user interface in MarkingCategory while I was
learning how to expand it to work with a few more test types
besides the JUnit and Simple (Boss1) tests.

As I was trying out the current user interface it was misleading to me
that there was two tabs, but information only from one of the tabs was
saved and when changing toanother marking category with different test
type, the information in the other tab was reflecting that other test's
data.

I concluded to myself that maybe the tabbed pane is not the right UI
element to use here. And I thought that maybe a drop down list could be
the one for this job. I think it's called Combo box in Swing.

What do you people think? Other suggestions?

While I'm at it, I will separate the JUnit and Simple test settings to
separate classes from MarkingCategoryFrame for cleaner code and allow
for future extensions.

Yours,
