> Improve the way Web Console UI manages growing number of plugins.
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FELIX-3769
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3769
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Web Console
> Reporter: Henry Saginor
> Priority: Minor
>
> Something needs to be done about growing number of web console plugins.
> Currently the UI displays a tab for each plugin. This makes the UI cluttered
> as more and more plugins are added. To address the tabs should be replaced
> with a tree structure or a drop-down menu.
> Felix Meschberger has proposed the following on the dev list to implement
> this.
> "* Plugins registered as services may have a "felix.webconsole.category"
> property
> indicating the category. Plugins not registering this property will be placed
> in
> the default category
> * AbstractWebConsolePlugin is ammended with a getCategory() method, which may
> overwritten by implementations. The default implementation in the
> AbstractWebConsolePlugin class returns the default category
> * A default category can be configured
> * Categories are simple strings such as "OSGi" or relative paths such as
> "Sling/Main". Relative paths define multi-level trees. I think in general a
> single level is probably enough. Maybe we can start with just supporting a
> single level (so just plain strings).
> * Translation of categories is such that each segment in the path (or the
> complete string if there is no sub-categories) is converted into a translation
> label by prefixing with "category.". So the translation for the "OSGi"
> category
> would be found with the translation string "category.OSGi".
> * The plugin navigation is refactored to move it to the left and render it as
> a
> tree structure (I assume we can use the JQuery treetable plugin)."
