Stephane Lauriere commented on XECLIPSE-38:
-------------------------------------------

yep, there are various usages and various preferences :-).

I'm not fond of tabs either in fact, even though some may find it useful in certain cases because it saves space. Ok, I see solution 2) you added is fine, except I would ideally have the resulting maximized layout by default for all edited pages if possible! We may perhaps introduce XEclipse preferences for managing this and letting the user decide about the browser view behaviour? In the configuration where the editor part consists only of a text editor, I would still find it useful to have a distinct browser view that would be optionaly linked to the page that has the focus: I would say I certainly need one or several browser views in Eclipse for various purpose, but not necessarily as strongly linked with the wiki pages as they are currently....  I'm aware this really depends on the way one intends to use XEclipse.  I'm just telling about my preferences there...

> Currently, each editor consists of a text edition zone and a browser view below it. I would find it more handy to have the browser view in a top level editor/view, similaringly to the Jira-Eclipse browser view, for those reasons:
> * sometimes you just don't care of the browser view, then it takes space for nothing
> * that can be useful to keep contextually several browser views open that are not synchronized with the currently edited page.
> Having an option for making the browser view available as a tab grouped with the text editor as in the first version of XEclipse may be handy as well. What do you think? (I'malso entering some issues for playing a bit with JIRA-Eclipse here :-)
