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)." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
