Perspective Module Updated Need your valuable Comments

1.


I add Perspective switcher to status bar.





2.
Last Netbeans Podcast Roman and Gregg talk about Perspective
[Module of the podcast: Perspectives ] .

Gregg bring up a point that Eclipse Perspective feature confuse him when switching Perspectives. It made him harder to find his views(windows) because those are automatically closed by Perspective.Perspective is quite a controversial feature. Some people like them, some people hate them.But always there is answer so I made some options to personalized Perspective behaver .

So Gregg I think now you can use Perspective feature without any confusion if there just let me know :)

Really good work!

Perspectives have to be inside netbeans by default.

I have some suggestions:

-To have an option to put the "switch buttons" in toolbar instead of statusbar, like eclipse.
-To be possible to have more than 2 buttons with perspectives, again like eclipse. Resize if possible.
-Automatic save of perspective.
-An option to have only icons, no names of perspectives.

Keep the good work!
TNKs!

I am a eclipse user, and I think perspectives are a "mature" way to win the struggle with the endless windows, netbeans don't have need it until now because it not have need for it because plugins are not encouraged.

But now the plugins are simplier to made, and become other strong poing of netbeans, perspectives are a NECESSITY.

Soon or later they will include native perspectives in the netbeans.

Netbeans 6 are really powerfull, and you work made it more powerfull.
