[izpack-devel] TreePacksPanel implementation

[Zycor.net Development Solutions]

Hi all,

We've been discussing the option of developing a TreePacksPanel (and 
ImgTreePacksPanel) on the users list. I've looked at the source for the 
PacksPanel, ImgPacksPanel, PacksPanelBase and PacksModel.

To create a TreePacksPanel, I wouldn't be able to use the PacksPanelBase 
as is. There's two options:
1) Create a new (Tree)PacksPanelBase for the TreePacksPanels or
2) Modify the existing PacksPanelBase to return a JComponent instead of 
a JTable from the createPacksTable.

Option 1 would be easier to implement, and has the benefit of not 
changing existing panels, but in the long run, it means there's two 
(nearly identical) classes two change whenever packsPanels are modified.
For option 2, I think pretty much the only changes would be to 
createPacksTable(...) and panelActivate().

I definately think option 2 would be better. If you want, I can make the 
changes on a local copy of the source, and when I'm done, I can send the 
source to you guys, and you can decide whether to incorporate it into 
IZPack or not...

Cheers
Riaan
