Current TAJ Bugs
There are several issues that need to be resolved with Taj:
- Problem: If a collapse is requested and then cancelled at the dialog window, the collapse is still performed with "null" as its tag Possible Solution: Update the event listener so that when the Cancel button is pressed, no new chunks are created
- Problem: Cannot remove () from title bar even after save Possible Solution: If Swing version is implemented, this would no longer be a problem
- Problem: Text is still editable Possible Solutions: Change the plug-in to a TextViewer (would require some significant changes); Make a copy of the original file to display; Swing version would fix this problem
- Problem: No visual indication that Taj is running Possible Solution: If Swing version is implemented, this would no longer be a problem
- Problem: No method for turning Taj off Possible Solution: Will have to study Eclipse Plug-ins more; Swing would eliminate this problem
- Problem: after a collapse or expand, always jumps to head of file, which could be annoying Possible Solution: I don’t know how to solve this one yet
- Problem: Can’t open .java files with Taj Possible Solution: Swing would fix this; No idea what is causing it
- Problem: Can’t change collapse descriptions after collapse is done Possible Solution: Add another action that would be similar to the expand option; This would pop up a dialog box with the original description, which can be edited; However, this could present some new problems, especially with nested collapses
- Problem (found by Samir): Can't convert the TAJ-saved file in a TAJ editor back to its original file in the normal editor. Here are the steps took: opened a java file, turned on the TAJ editor, collapsed a few lines, closed the file and saved the file in TAJ format, reopened the file by double-clicking on it in the Resources perspective (the file opened back up in a TAJ editor), and then turned the TAJ editor off by clicking the TAJ button on the Workbench toolbar. The file appeared empty and when I clicked on the TAJ button again, nothing happened. After closing and not saving any changes on the file, I tried reopening the file in TAJ format – "An error has occurred when creating this editor" appeared in the Editor.
