Re: [Rails-devel] Swing Docking Framework for Rails

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

Frederick,

When I tried to load the first patch (with 'git am'), I got errors like:
.classpath does not match index
build.xml does not match index
Not sure what to do about these errors.

The second patch loaded fine.

I think it's fine to experiment with such ideas, but I'm a bit sceptical
about the result.  Yes, it would release ORPanel again from its chains, but
what other problems would it solve?
My main issue is, that our screens are (or at least mine is) too small to
have all frames open at a convenient size, and at the same time not overlap
each other. I don't immediately see how docking could fix that. But I may be
wrong.  

In any case, I would prefer docking to remain optional.  And out of the way
(i.e. in a separate branch) until it's proven to work and do a better job
(whatever that means).

Erik.
