Fixed window (divider) positions

[Dirk]

We created our own docking area layout as described in the wiki.

Our layout has a top, bottom and statusbar area amongst others. How can we set the statusbar area at a fixed size so that the divider in the split pane is not resizable?

[Puce]

Currently fixed sizes are not supported and I'm not sure if this is really needed inside a DockingPane. Usually (eg. see NetBeans or Eclipse) things like the statusbar area but also the menu bar and toolbar area are outside the docking section.

At one point I think Drombler FX will have to support a mechanism for developers to provide a custom main scene as not all applications nowadays have the classic 'menubar, toolbar, docking section, statusbar' layout but are e.g. screen/ flow based.

For now as a work-around you could try with Fragment Bundle of the drombler-fx-core-application bundle to replace the ApplicationPane.fxml (sourceforge.net)

[Puce]

Eg. try (untested):

~~~~~xml
<build>
...
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupid>org.apache.felix</groupid>
<artifactid>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactid>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<instructions>
<fragment-host>org.drombler.fx.drombler-fx-core-application;bundle-version=${drombler.fx.osgi.version.clean}</fragment-host>
</instructions>
<versions>
<drombler.fx.osgi.version.clean>${drombler-fx.version}</drombler.fx.osgi.version.clean>
</versions>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>cleanVersions</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
...
</build>

And provide an ApplicationPane.fxml at /src/main/resources/org/drombler/fx/core/application/impl
