By default, only if the frame is invisible, we will use previously saved frame state and bounds. If the frame is already visible, we will ignore the saved settings. For LayoutPersistenceManager, only the setting in the last LayoutPersistence will be used. However you can always change it by calling the two setters. If you set it to true, the same settings will always be used. If false, it will never be used.

(Grids) Fixed the cell in the same span is painted several times in CellSpanTable.
(Grids) Made SortableTableHeaderMouseListener public so that user can override createSortableTableHeaderMouseListener to create their own header mouse listener. See bug report here.
(Grids) Added support to have multiple cell style models for each CellStyleTable. You can implement StyleModel on the actual data model and also implement StyleModel on SortableTableModel or FilterableTableModel. We will merge both CellStyles and display the merged result. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed showing ListComboBox's popup causes the permanent focus lost. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed date chooser pops up even if setEnable(false) is called on DateComboBox. See bug report here.

(Grids) Calling fireTableDataChanged in table model will clear the selection in JideTable. We used to keep the selection but it caused problems when row count is changed in tableDataChanged. JTable clears selection too so we decided to do the same. If you prefer to keep the selection, use fireTableRowsUpdated/Inserted/Deleted or fireTableCellUpdated events.
(Grids) Fixed wrong year is displayed in MonthChooserPanel. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed year spinner is still available when tab key is pressed in DateChooserPanel. See bug report here.

(Action) Supports using DockableBarFactory when loading layout (It used to be only being used when loading initial layout)
(Pivot) Added SummaryCalculator to PivotDataModel to allow you add your own custom summary. You can see PivotTableDemo's setupProductDetailsPivotDataModel for an example where we added a new summary type called "Last Value". This new summary will appear in the field setting dialog.

December 27, 2006 - 1.9.4.06

Enhancement Requests:

(Dock) Add scrolling feature to SidePane (the container for autohidden dockable frames) when there are too many autohide frames. See enhancement request here.
(Dock) Added DockingLayoutLoader and DockableBarLayoutLoader so that you can use them to load a layout without actually loading them into DockingManager/DockableBarManager. After the layout is loaded, you can use the methods on the Loader to find out what dockable frames or dockable bars are in the layout as well as their states. See enhancement request here.
(Common) Added scrolling feature to JidePopupMenu when there are too many menu items so that it exceeds the screen size. See bug report here. Please note, this is only for JidePopupMenu, or the context menu. We couldn't find a way to make the drop down JMenu works this way.

Bug Fixes:

Enhancement Requests:

(Pivot) Added PivotDataEditingProvider to allow editing cell directly in PivotTablePane. See enhancement request here.
(Dock) Added setAutoDockingAsDefault method to DockingManager. If false, a dragging dockable frame will not try to dock unless you press and hold CTRL. By default, it is the opposite where a dragging docakble frame will not dock if CTRL is held.
(Dock) Added getAllVisibleFrames method to return a list of dockable frames keys in the order of the visual layout on the screen. There are also getFirstFrame, getLastFrame, getNextFrame, getPreviousFrame etc method to allow you to iterate through all visible frames. This is one solution to an enhancement request at here.

If you add the dialog as excluded component using addExcludedComponent, if you click in any component inside the dialog, the JidePopup will not hide.
(Common) Fixed the select tab's text is gray but the unselected tabs are black on Eclipse style. We changed selected tab to black too. See bug report here.
(Common) Fixed color is painted outside the round tab shape. See bug report here.

Please make sure to run JideTabbedPaneDemo and change several comboboxes in option panel to see different combination of several tab shapes, color themes, layout policy and tab placements.

Enhancement Requests:

(BeanInfo) There is a new jar called jide-beaninfo.jar in the lib folder. You will need this jar if you plan to use JIDE in some GUI designers such as NetBeans , JFormDesigner or Swing Designer. Although most JIDE components work in GUI designers without bean info, the jar has several bean info classes for JIDE components will provide a better integration with those GUI designers.

If you are using a L&F which doesn't have some UIDefaults JIDE is using, you can use this UIDefaultsInitializer to add those missing UIDefaults. For example, in order to L&F based on Synth, we have to use UIDefaultsInitializer to add some missing UIDefaults. Please note, there is also UIDefaultsCustomizer which is called after installJideExtension() is called.
(Common) Supports Synthetica L&F which is a nice-looking L&F based on Synth. All you need to do is set to SyntheticaStandardLookAndFeel using UIManager and call LookAndFeelFactory.installJideExtension(LookAndFeelFactory.XERTO_STYLE). You can also use other styles but Xerto style matches with Synthetica the best.

(Dock) Added a new method to DockingManager called setAutoActivateFocusOwner(boolean). Default is true. If set to false, keyboard focus change will not automatically activated the belonging dockable frame. Ther eis some undesired behavior when the flag is set to true. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed border issue of autohide dockable frame under Xerto style. See bug report here.
(Common) Fixed setText on JTextComponent will show the hint popup.
(Grids) Moves popup of AbstractComboBox so that the left side of it is always visible.
(Common) Considered hidden columns in TableSearchable. See bug report here.
(Common) Fixed issues with ListSearchable and ComboBoxSearchable when their models are changed. Seee bug report here.
(Action) Fixed wrong dependency of jide-actions.jar on jide-grids.jar. This is a regression in patch 1 of 1.8.5. See bug report here.
(Common) Gave user an option to hide popup even when the owner of the popup is clicked. By default when user clicks on the owner of popup, the popup stays visible. In this patch, if you want to change this behavior, you can call popup.removeExcludedComponent(owner) after popup is shown. If so, the popup will be hidden when owner is clicked. See bug report here.
(Component) Made collapsible pane auto-expanding when something is drag-over the title bar.

October 31, 2005 - Patch 1 for 1.8.5

New Features:

(Demo) Added a new web start demo to show off heavyweight component integration. In this particular, we used JDIC web browser and integrate it into JIDE Docking Framework/Action Framework and make it a mini-browser. You can start the webstart demo from here.

Bug Fixes:

(Dock) Fixed missing cursor change when dragging dockable frame under Eclipse style. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed TableColumnResizer allows resize of last column when AutoResizeMode is not off. See bug report here.
(Dock) Show DockableFrame's tooltip when mouse is over title bar. See bug report here.

October 28, 2005 - 1.8.5

New Features:

(Common) Added SearchableBar component. This component leverage Searchable component and provide a full size bar to do the quick search.
(Common) Added TextComponentSearchable - one more Searchable component. It can make any JTextComponent searchable.
(Grids) Added sorting to TreeTable. Different from sorting of regular JTable, TreeTable can be sorted at different level - root node level, or leaf node level or all levels. See feature request here.
(All) Added basic heavyweight component support in several JIDE components. That includes DockingManager added a method setHeavyweightComponentEnabled to enable heavyweight component usage in workspace area or dockable frame's content pane. DocumentPane added the same method so that the outline appears on top of HW component when dragging to split document view. JideSplitPane added the same method to make divider appears on top of HW components. In coming releases, we will start to make demos to integrate with OpenGL, JDIC or some other HW components based on ActiveX to demonstrate the HW component integration and fix any issues that might arise from it.
(Examples) Added "Browse Source Code" button in all our demos. You can click on it to see all related source code for that demo. See feature request here. It's good timing that we can leverage the brand-new SearchableBar component which is perfect for searching in source code.

Bug Fixes:

(Common) Fixed wrong font setting in VsnetMetalUtils.
(Dock) Fixed minimum size is not respected when autohidden window is shown. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed sometimes invisible tab-docked dockable frame doesn't shown when mouse drag over the tab. See bug here.

(Dialog) Fixed wrong background of FirebirdOptionsDialog demo. See bug report here.
(Dock) Since JDK1.4.2 fixed the frame state cannot be set if the frame is not visible, we improved the hehavior of restoring frame state when loading layout data if you are on JDK1.4.2 and above. You will not see flickering when restore a maximized frame without using setShowInitial method. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed wrong column is resized if user changed the column order. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed NPE in PropertyPane if visible buttons option is used. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed updateDescription() method is called twice in PropertyPane. See bug report here.
(Example) Fixed wrong first column in MultiColumnPropertyPaneDemo.
(Grids) Fixed row expansion problem when using HierarchicalTable in TableScrollPane. See bug report here.
(Dock/Action) Removed the IllegalArgumentException if rootPaneContainer is one of the five known RootPaneContainers. This will make it possible for you to implement your own RootPaneContainer as long as it extends Component. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed too many events are fired in QuickFilterPane. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed wrong behavior in ListDataIntelliHints. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed NPE when disposing dockable frame when it is removed. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed NPE when dispose DockableBarManager without loading any layout. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed disabled DateComboBox became enabled again after L&F changed. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed wrong size calculation of ListComboBox. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed DateComboBox still fires event when date value is not changed. We fixed par of it in previous release but there is still a special case we forgot to consider. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed wrong background color is used in TreeTable when it doesn't use StyleModel. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed wrong font in non-editable AbstractComboBox. See bug report here.

(Grids) Made TableUtils.loadSelection() to scroll the first selected row visible. Same thing with ListUtils.loadSelection method. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed index doesn't match in HierarchicalTableComponentFactory's createChildComponent and destroyChildComponent methods. See bug report here.
(Action) Dynamic find rootPaneContainer in DefaultDockableBarManager if it was null at the beginning. This behavior is the same as DefaultDockingManager now.
(Dock) Fixed wrong y coord is saved in saveLayoutData() when setFloatingFramesVisible(false) is called. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed TreeSearchable and ListSearchable stop working when new model is set to the tree or list.
(Grids) Fixed tooltip of renderer doesn't show up in TreeTable's first column.
(Dock) Fixed chevron popup menu doesn't retract when clicking on it again if command bar is in a dockable frame.
(Common) Fixed setForeground() doesn't change Indeterminate progress bar's foreground.
(Component) Fixed Alert's owner window become active when alert is shown. This made background alert impossible. See bug report here. Due to Swing limitation, the fix is only works for JDK1.5.
(Component) Fixed last pixel at the bottom of collapsible pane is not displayed correctly in certain cases.

Enhancement Requests:

(Dock) Added showFrame(final String name, final boolean activate) to give user an option to show the frame but not activate it. See enhancement request here and here.
(Grids) Added refreshRow(int row) method to HierarchicalTable to update table when the child component is changed. This method will behave like collapse the row and expand it again but better.
(Grids) Added showColumns static method since it has hideColumns method already. See enhancement request here.
(Grids) Added setMouseEnabled() method to HierarchicalTable to enable/disable default mouse behavior.
(Common) Added setSelectedTabFont() method to JideTabbedPane. See enhancement request here.
(Grids) Added TableFilter and ListFilter to make filter can be done on row/column index in FilterableTableModel and FilterableListModel. See enhancement request here.
(Grids) Added setSearchingDelay(int) method to Searchable to allow user to adjust the delay between keystrokes before doing a search. See enhancement request here.
(Grids) Added isColumnSortable(int column) method to SortableTableModel so that you can return false to make certain columns not sortable. See enhancement request here.
(Grids) Refactored createPopupWindow in AbstractComboBox so that subclass can override to customize the popup to make it detachable, resizable etc.
(Grids) Added showPopup method to manually bring up the search popup. See enhancement request here.
(Dialog) Allows user to customize the layout of StandardDialog by adding layoutComponents(..) method. See the expandable dialog example in StandardDialogExample to see how to customize the layout. See enhancement report here.
(Dock) Made removeExtraContexts() method not only removes extra dock contexts but also extra frame names in the internal hidden frame list.
(Common) Added setHintsEnabled to AbstractIntelliHints so that you can temporarily enable/disable hints.
(Dock) Added moveFrame(String frameName, String destFrameName, int side) method to allow you to move a dockable frame to a location that relative to destination dockable frame. See enhancement request here.
(Dialog) Made the layout of StandardDialog customizable so that user can create expandable dialog. Clicking the last button in W6. StandardDialog demo to see a real example.

Public API Changes/Deprecations:

(Grids) addRow(Row row) method in TreeTableModel used to add a row to the end and have the same level as the last visual row. Now it will always add row to the root level regardless what the last visual row level is. This is a change of behavior. If you use addRow(Row row) and want to keep the old behavior, you can still use add(-1, row) to do achieve.

September 30, 2005 - Patch 2 for 1.8.4

Bug Fixes:

(Grids) Fixed TableUtils NPE in setTablePreference method. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed sortable table doesn't sort if setModel is called afterward and NPE in setSortTablePreference. See bug report here.

(Grids) Fixed multiple line header doesn't work in SortableTable.
(Grids) Fixed focus cell minor paint problem in TreeTable.
(Dock) Fixed setSteps javadoc in DockingManager. It said default steps is 5 but actually it's 1. See bug report here.

Enhancement Requests:

(Grids) Allows customization QuickFilterPane's JLists layout by making createListComponent() and createListsComponent() method protected. Subclass can override them to layout the JLists which are used as filters. See enhancement request here.
(Grids) Allows customization of PropertyPane's table portion by making createPropertyTablePanel() method protected. Subclass can override it to customize the container for the property table. See enhancement request here.

September 28, 2005 - Patch 1 for 1.8.4

Bug Fixes:

(Grids) Fixed TableUtils's setTablePreference and getTablePreference doesn't consider hidden columns especially after we introduced TableColumnChooser. See bug report here.
(Examples) Fixed all the demos don't consider -Dswing.defaultlaf system property.
(LookAndFeel) Fixed all text are bold after switching to Metal L&F. See bug report here.
(Dialogs) Fixed setNextPage doesn't work when wizard starts. Also fixed wrong behavior of back button. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed it's possible to select two rows in main table and footer table in TableScrollPane.
(Common) Fixed wrong appearance of JSeparator when it is not used in popup menu.
(Component) Fixed missing focus dotted line on collapsible pane. See bug report here.

(Grids) Fixed itemStateChanged event is fired even when the date is not changed. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed vertical scroll bar appears when it shouldn't. See bug report here. Only on JDK1.4.2
(Grids) Fixed mouse clicks to show dropdown still works when AbstractCombobox is disabled. See bug report here.
(Component) Fixed focus change loop when showing Alert from main frame while a dialog is visible.
(Grids) Fixed column resizing doesn't work on non-first column in multiple column property table. See bug report here.

Enhancement Requests:

(Grids) Further improvement to TableColumnChooser since it's a new class in 1.8.4 release. Added several client properties to set options such as FIXED_COLUMNS - columns that don't allow to be hidden, SHOW_AUTO_RESIZE - whether auto resize menu items should be visible on popup menu, DISPLAY_COLUMN_NAMES - the actual name to be used for each column on popup menu if they are different from column header name. If user wants to customize the menu items on popup menu, they can override createColumnChooserMenuItems method in TableColumnChooser.
(Component) Added setAttachable method so that popup will never attach to owner during dragging if set to false. See enhancement request here.

September 21, 2005 - 1.8.4

New Features:

Introduced StyledLabel component. Refer to B15. StyledLabel for a demo.
Introduced CheckBoxTree component. Refer to B16. CheckBoxTree for a demo.
Introduced DateSpinner component. Refer to G21. DateSpinner for a demo.
Introduced non-contiguous cell selection in JideTable. See feature request here.
Introduced column auto-fit feature in JideTable. Introduced row and column resizing in JideTable by dragging on grid line.
Introduced TableColumnChooser to allow you to show/hide certain columns from a table.

Enhancement Requests:

(Common) Made CustomAnimation supporting custom animation by adding method setAnimatorListener().
(Common) Added setDefaultMoveOperation() method to let user control the behavior of popup when owner's location is moved. User can choose popup should be hidden, or be moved along with owner.
(I18N) Added/revised Germany properties. Thanks André Frintrop for the contribution.
(Common) Added setCompletionList() to allow user to change the completion list.
(Component) Add several methods to allow user access the progress label in ProgressBarStatusItem. See enhancement request here. We also added several methods as protected so that you can override to create your own progress bar, progress label, status label etc.
(Common) Added a property "alwaysDropdown" to JideSplitButton<. If true, JideSplitButton will not have button part and behavior like drop down menu.
(Common) Added addExcludedComponent(Component) method to JidePopup. If a component is excluded component, clicking on it will not hide the popup.
(Dock) Added dragGripperOnly property to DockingManager. In 1.8.3, we changed the dragging behavior so that if gripper is visible, only gripper can be dragged to move dockable frame around. However some people still like the old behavior which is dragging title bar will move dockable frame around. With this new flag, if set to false, the behavior will be the same as pre-1.8.3.

Bug Fixes:

(Component) Fixed extra border around the tabs in JideTabbedPane when tabbed pane opaque is false.
(Grids) Fixed a bug CellStyleTable that caused problem when wraps cell style model into sortable table model. See bug report here.
(Components) Fixed wrong mouse behavior in CollapsiblePane. see bug report here.
(Dialog) Fixed a bug when overriding createBannerPanel() in WizardDialogPane.
(Grids) Fixed AbstractComboBox (esp. ListComboBox) ignore renderer that is set. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed MonthComboBox doens't consider minDate and maxDate in DateModel.
(Grids) Fixed table model updating issue when sortable table model in optimized mode.
(Grids) Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in SortableTableHeader when some columns are hidden.
(Grids) In CellStyleTable, made cell editors respects the style defined in StyleModel. Only cell renderers respects cell styles before.
(Dock) Made dockable frame transparent if opaque is set to false. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed popupMenuCaneled event is never fired in AbstractComboBox. We also added hidePopup(boolean) and hidePopupImmediately(boolean) method which takes a boolean to indicate if the popup is cancelled.
(Designer) Fixed wrong words are used in initXxxSplit properties of DockingManager. See bug report here.

Public API Changes/Deprecations:

(Grids) Introduced CellEdtiorFactory and use it in CellEditorManager to solve the issue sharing the same instance of cell editor causing problem. If you register your own cell editor to CellEditorManagaer, registerEditor(Class clazz, CellEditor editor) method is deprecated and now replaced by registerEditor(Class clazz, CellEditorFactory editorFactory).
(Dock, Action, Component) JIDE Docking Framework, Action Framework or DocumentPane don't use javax.util.pref to save the layout if the OS is not Windows. This is actually wrong since javax.util.pref can support all platforms. So in this version, we changed so that as long as seUsePref(true), javax.util.pref is always used. As result, if your users are on Linux or UNIX or Mac OS X, their saved layout will get lost during the upgrade to the new version. Window users will not be affected.
(Common) Deprecated isShowPopupDuringSeaching() method in ComboBoxSearchable and replace it by isShowPopupDuringSearching(). It's a typo.
(Dialog) Renamed StandardDialogPane#ROPERTY_CANCEL_ACTION to PROPERTY_CANCEL_ACTION. It's typo.
(Dock) Changed the layout version from 19 to 20. However it is backward compatible. If you have a layout at version 19, this release has no problem reading it and upgrade it to version 20. From now on, we will maintain this backward compatible whenever we change the layout version so you don't need to worry about user saved layout can't be read.

September 7, 2005 - Patch 5 for 1.8.3

Bug Fixes

(Common) Fixed JideSplitButton doesn't work correctly if setVerticalTextPosition() is used.
(Dock) Fixed activateFrame() doesn't activate the dockable frame in Docking Framework. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed setShowNoneButton has not effect on MonthComboBox.
(Grids) Fixed TreeTable's left and right keys don't work quite right. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed wrong behavior of SPACE key in HierarchicalTable.
(Dialog) Fixed buttons are clipped when there are not enough vertical space on the icons panel of MultiplePageDialog in ICON_STYLE. See bug report here.
(Component) Fixed setActiveDocument() on DocumentPane sometimes activate the wrong document when grouping is used.

September 1, 2005 - Patch 4 for 1.8.3

Bug Fixes

(Grids) Fixed JidePopup doesn't show up on certain cases. It's regression on patch 1.8.3.03 only. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed SortableTable still wraps the table model into a sortable table model when sortable is set to false.

August 31, 2005 - Patch 3 for 1.8.3

Bug Fixes

(Grids) Made methods of SortableTableModel.SortItem public. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed IllegalArgumentException when table column count is 0.
(Grids) Fixed NPE when using StyleModel with PropertyTableModel. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed MonthComboBox doesn't format set by setFormat(). Also change the month labels of MonthChooserPanel to use JideButton to be consistent with DateChooserPanel. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in HierarchicalTable when rows are deleted.
(Common) Revised populateTreePaths method in TreeSearchable to be more generic. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed wrong behavior when addRow() methods are called in certain order. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fire property "selectedItem" change event when AbstractComboBox selected item is changed. See bug report here. ENTER key will trigger the selected item changes now.
(Grids) Fixed CTRL+click deselect the item in the list of ListComboBox. See bug report here.
(Component) Fixed JidePopup doesn't show up correctly when in applet mode.
(Grids) Fixed ESC key doesn't fire cell canceled event. See bug report here. This is fixed on JideTable level. So all tables in JIDE Grids will have this fixed.
(Grids) Fixed clicking on table header doesn't sort correctly if cell span is on.
(Grids) Fixed wrong row heights if cell span is on and rowAutoResizes is on.
(Grids) Fixed cell span doesn't work in HierarchicalTable.

August 25, 2005 - Patch 2 for 1.8.3

Bug Fixes

(Dock) Fixed DockingManager#setShowContextMenu(false) doesn't disable the context menu . See bug report here.
(Action) Chevron's popup shows at wrong location in dual-monitor setup when the secondary monitor is on the left of the main monitor.
(Action) Fixed empty popup menu is displayed which doesn't look very nice.
(Action) Fixed two listeners not removed in dispose() method of DefaultDockableBarManager which will cause memory leak.
(Grids) Use the JTree's setting to paint the tree line in TreeTable, especially using UIManager.getBoolean("Tree.lineTypeDashed") to determine if dashed line is used. (Please make sure the row height is an even number. Otherwise dashed lines will not connect to each other very well).
(Grids) Fixed height change in QuickFilterField when "X" button is displayed. Also fixed text field focus lost after clicking on the "X" button.
(Grids) Fixed wrong table width when footer table's autoResizeMode is set to AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS in TableScrollPane.
(Grids) Fixed several list selection problem in QuickFilterPane. See bug report here and here.
(Grids) Fixed clear() on SortableListModel doesn't clear the list. See bug report here.
(Grids) Made it possible to update locale of DateComboBox on fly without restarting the application. See bug report here.
(Component) Fixed TimeStatusBarItem causing periodically repaint/doLayout.
(Component) Fixed a bug in paint() method of PartialLineBorder which results in a shorter line when the partial side is south.
(Component) Added collapse(boolean) method which will use animation to expand/collapse the CollapsiblePane. See bug report here.
(Component) Fixed JidePopup still goes away when clicking outside even setTransient(false) is called.
(Examples) Added "Default Font Name" row to PropertyPaneDemo to show how to create a non-editable ListComboBox as cell editor.

August 11, 2005 - Patch 1 for 1.8.3

Bug Fixes

(Grids) Fixed when there is a DefaultFocusComponent in popup of AbstractComboBox, the component didn't receive focus. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed AbstractComboBox's popup doesn't show on top of the combobox when there isn't enough space on the bottom. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed wrong active dockable frame title bar background on XP silver theme under Xerto style.
(Common) Fixed ClassCastException when mouse clicking in the popup of prime hints in IntelliHintsDemo.

August 10, 2005 - 1.8.3

New Features:

(Common) Introduced AutoCompletion feature. You can use it to make JComboBox, or JTextField auto-completion. If you just want to use JComboBox, you can use AutoCompletionComboBox directly. You can refer to B13 example to see it in action.
(Common) Introduced IntelliHints feature. You may wonder what IntelliHints is. It's like auto-completion feature but even more flexible because it allows you to provide the completion list on fly. The best way to get to know it is to look at B14 example.
(Grids) Introduced SortabelListModel and SortableTreeModel that can make any JList or JTree sortable respectively. G19, G20 are two examples for them.
(Grids) Introduced FilterableListModel and FilterableTreeModel that can make any JList or JTree filterable.
(Grids) Added QuickFilter feature to JList and JTree as well. The previous QuickSearchField is renamed to QuickTableFilterField. QuickListFilterField and QuickTreeFilterField are the two new QuickFilterFields for JList and JTree respectively. G15 has three demos to demo them.
(Common) The base of QuickFilterField is extracted into a new component called LabeledTextField. This component will provide features such as associating a context menu with JTextField, adding a button to the end of the JTextField. QuickTableFilterField, QuickListFilterField and QuickTreeFilterField are all examples of it.
(Examples) Added two examples for HierarchicalTable. You can find both of them at G8 example folder.

Enhancement Requests:

(Grids) Added two new properties - maximumSortColumns and sortPriority - SortableTableModel. You can use setter/getter of maximumSortColumns to limit the maximum number of allowed sort-by columns. For sortPriority, you can use it to control the order of multiple column sorting - first sorted column has a higher priority or the last sorted column has a higher priority. You can refer to updated G2 SortableTableDemo to see what these new properties for. See enhancement request here.
(Component) Added methods to allow you hide CollapsiblePane's title bar and/or expand/collapse button. If so, there is no built-in way to collapse/expand the pane. However you can still do it programmatically. Since there is no title bar if you call setShowTitleBar(false). This gives you a chance to make your own title bar. enhancement request here.
(Grids) Added mouse wheel support to DateChooserPanel. Normal mouse wheel event will scroll to next or previous month. If CTRL key is pressed during mouse wheel event, it will scroll to next or previous year.
(Grids) When there isn't enough space, DateChooserPanel can reduce the size of the panel by abbreviating day of week.
(Common) Added getCursor() method to base Searchable class to return the current cursor location. Users might need it when implementing their own Searchable.
(Grids) Added ListUtils and TreeUtils to have methods such as restoring selections and restoring tree expansion state.
(Grids) Added a new cell editor for password type of value. PropertyPaneDemo is modified to have one property using it. Tow things you need to set to that property - set editor context to PasswordCellEditor.CONTEXT and set converter context to PasswordConverter.CONTEXT. The type of password property, to be compatible with JPasswordField's getPassword() method, is char[].class.
(Component) Added setAutoAddSeparator() method. By default, every time you add a status bar item to status bar, a separator will be added to separate it from previous status bar item. If you call this method and set it to false, no separator will be added. We added this method in case you want to add several status bar items without adding separators. If so, you can always call addSeparator() to add separator at the position you want.
(Common) Added Stricky help class which can make JList and JTree's selection following the mouse movement. AutoCompletion and IntelliHints use it.
(Dock) Added support for DockableFrameFactory. When you have layout which is saved in previous session but you have no idea what're in the layout thus you don't know what frames to add before calling loadLayoutData(), you can now use DockableFrameFactory to handle this special case. In fact, DockableFrameFactory is used already by initial layout. We just leverage it for more general cases. See enhancement request here.

Bug Fixes:

(Grids) Fixed DefaultColumnTableModelWrapper doesn't delegate the table event from inner table model.
(Component) Fixed tool tip of status bar item is shown beyond the screen boundary. See bug report here. This is actually a Swing bug which is fixed in JDK1.6 early access. So our fix only has effect on JDK1.5 and JDK1.4.
(Grids) Fixed the text is not vertically centered in SortTableHeaderRenderer.
(Common) Fixed setCelLRenderer() on CheckBoxList hides the checkbox. CheckBoxList will use whatever cell renderer you set to CheckBoxList and we add a checkbox before it.
(Dialog) Disabled lazy initialization of BannerPanel. BannerPanel is usually very simple, so there is no really need to do lazy initialization which might cause problems. See bug report here.
(Grids) Set accessible name to the buttons in PropertyPane. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed a selection refresh bug in QuickFilterPane. See bug report here.
(Grids) Added more javadoc to IconsFactory since there are quite a few users are confused by it. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed DateChooerPanel still return Calendar type if the type is set to Date. See bug report here. There is done by added a new constructor to DateCelLEditor with a boolean parameter. If boolean is true, it will use Date as the type. It should be transparent to you because CellEditorManager has been changed to do it automatically.
(Grids) Fixed clicking on AbstractComboBox's button again when popup is visible doesn't hide the popup.
(Grids) Supports comparator context object to allow sorting different columns with he same data type using different comparators in SortableTableModel. All you need to do is to override getColumnComparatorContext(int columnIndex) method on SortabeTableModel and return different comparator context.
(Component) Fixed dragging ResizeStatusBarItem doesn't resize the window. See bug report here. The original intention of this ResizeStatusBarItem is to use it as an indication rather than a control. However since user asks for this feature and it's quite reasonable, we decided to support it. So now if you place you mouse over the resize status bar item, you will see cursor changes. You can press and drag it to resize the main window. Due to flickering reason, we disabled repaint event so you will see blank content during resizing. only for JDK1.6 early access, since it fixes the double buffer problem, you will see the full content during resizing.
(Action) Fixed wrong orientation for chevron popup when it's from vertical command bar. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed setSidebarRollover() only works after loadLayoutdata(). See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed NPE if trying to reuse the same dockable frame after rmoveFrame(). See bug report here. Since removeFrame() will hideFrame() first. So the only thing you need to know when you try to reuse is to call showFrame() after addFrame(). Otherwise, the frame's state will still be in hidden state.
(Common) Fixed menu fonts display problem on Unicode locales.
(Grids) Fixed tab key (or arrow keys) doesn't go across cell span in CellSpanTable.
(Grids) Fixed tab key doesn't navigate to different rows in PropertyTable.
(Grids) Fixed returning the same instance of CellSpan in getCellSpanAt() cause strange repaint issues.
(Dock) Fixed dockable frame's gripper so that only when user drags the gripper will drag the dockable frame. If gripper is not visible, dragging anywhere on title bar will still drag the dockable frame just like before.

Public API changes:

(Grids) There are a few methods on TreeTableModel that are exposed by PropertyTableModel automatically because PropertyTableModel extends TreeTableModel. However they should not be used on PropertyTableModel. Such as addRow and removeRow methods. We overrode them in PropertyTableModel and throw IllegalStateException. If you used them (which will cause you problem anyway), you will got exception. The correct way to change the model is to get the original list using getOriginalProperties(), change it and call refresh() method. See bug report here.
(Dialogs) We used to include OK, Cancel, Yes, No text in the buttons.properties and you can use ButtonResources to access them. However recently we found Swing's has its own version of those text already. So we decide to use them instead of creating our own and worrying about localize then for each locale. So instead of using ButtonResources to get OK text, you call UIManager.getString("OptionPane.okButtonText"). For cancel text, it's UIManager.getString("OptionPane.cancelButtonText"). Yes is "OptionPane.noButtonText" and no is "OptionPane.noButtonText".

August 5, 2005 - Patch 3 for 1.8.2

(Components) Introduced StatusBarSeparator to StatusBar so that it has similar status bar as Office 2003.

Bug Fixes:

(Components) Fixed font problem on status bar. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed EnumConverter has problem handling null value in the data array. Also fixed AbstractComboBox doesn't convert the null value correct. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed collapse all button on PropertyPane doesn't collapse the category if one of its property is selected.
(Action) Fixed dynamically size change of components on command bar doesn't resize the command bar correctly. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed tabHidden/tabShown events are fired too early. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed deadlock on Linux under JDK1.5 when maximize/restore a dockable frame. See bug report here.
(Demo) Fixed InitialLayoutDemo doesn't work in web start demo. It's a obfuscation issue.

July 6, 2005 - Patch 2 for 1.8.1

Bug Fixes:

(Common) Fixed memory increasing problem in Indeterminate ProgressBar. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed NPE in SortableTable if using NestedSortableTableHeader but set sortable to false.
(Grids) Fixed alphabetical sort throws exception in PropertyPane. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed an infinite loop when dragging dockable frame. See bug report here.

July 1, 2005 - Patch 1 for 1.8.1

Enhancement requests:

(Common) Added TOOLBOX_STYLE and FLAT_STYLE support to JideSplitButton. See enhancement request at here.
(Grids) Added TreeExpansionListener support to HierarchicalTable so that you can be notified when the table is expanded or collapsed.
(Grids) Added isExpandable() and setExpandable(boolean) to Expandable interface. So in PropertyTable or HierarchicalTable, you have an option to disable the expansion of a property which has children properties or a row which has child component. See enhancement request at here and here. As a matter of fact, isExpandable() is also added to HierarchicalTableModel. So if you implement HierarchicalTableModel, you need to make sure implement this new method.
(Grids) Highlight date label when mouse roll over in DateChooserPanel.
(Grids) Added getList(int index) method in QuickFilterPane.

Bug Fixes:

(Dock) Made setFloatingFramesVisible() works no matter what the value isHideFloatingFramesOnSwitchOutOfApplication or isHideFloatingFramesWhenDeactivate are.
(Grids) Fixed a extra line between cell row and child component in HierarchicalTable. See bug report at here.
(Grids) Fixed IllegalArgumentException in TableScrollPane demo.
(Grids) Fixed empty row after the child component when isHierarchical() return false. See bug report at here.
(Action) Fixed a possible NPE in CommandBarLayout when a child component is invisible.
(Action) Fixed setHideFloatingDockableBarsWhenDeactivate doesn't change the return value of isHideFloatingDockableBarsWhenDeactivate().
(Components) Fixed CollapsiblePane height issue.
(Example) Fixed InitialLayoutDockDemo cannot load save .ilayout in other under non-English locale.

Public API changes:

A new method isExpandable() is added to HierarchicalTableModel. So if you implement HierarchicalTableModel, you need to implement this new method. Otherwise there will be compile error.

June 24, 2005 - 1.8.1

New features:

(Grids) Introduced new component QuickFilterPane and QuickSearchField. These two components work with FilterableTableModel and will make browsing huge table data a breeze. Please refer G15. QuickFilterDemo to see an example. Here is a screenshot.

Enhancement requests:

(Components) Added doClick() method onto ButtonStatusBarItem. See enhancement request here.
(Components) Changed the text of "Close All But This" to "Close Others" in the context menu of DocumentPane. See enhancement request here.
(Grids) Added support for ANY_COLUMN filters in FilterableTableModel. So now FilterableTableModel can support filters on each column, on all columns or on any columns. We also changed addFilter(Filter filter) to add filter to ANY_COLUMN. It was added to ALL_COLUMN before. So if you used it, you want the old behavior, you need to use addFilter(ALL_COLUMN, filter) instead. We also added a new property called "andMode". It will control the filters on each column is AND mode or OR mode. We use those features in QuickFilterPane.

Bug fixes:

(Grids) Fixed PropertyTableModel's filterProperty doesn’t consider UNSORTED and SORTED case.
(Common) Fixed the new indeterminate progress bar we added in 1.8.0 lost Windows XP style.
(Dock) Fixed Alt-F4 doesn’t close floating container if system property "docking.floatingContainerType" is set to "Window".
(Grids) Fixed change year spinner doesn’t change the displayed month.
(Grids) Added the default constructor of PropertyTable print out error message. See bug report here.
(Grids) Added the default constructor to TableScrollPane to make it JavaBean compatible.

Public API changes:

(Grids) Changed the signature of shouldBeFiltered(…) method in FilterableTableModel to take filters as input parameters so that it won’t spend time to get them inside a loop. This has no effect to you unless you override shouldBeFiltered method.
(Grids) Added several methods to interface Expandable. If you implement it in your code, you need to implement those new methods. Those changes are part of a new table component that we will introduce.
(Components) Added two more events to DocumentComponentListener – moving and moved. Those events are fired when document position is moving or moved respectively. If you implements DocumentComponentListener, you need to implement the two more methods.

June 14, 2005 - Patch 1 for 1.8.0

New features:

(Component) Added popup menu listener support to JidePopup. See enhancement request at here.
(Component) Added transient attribute to JidePopup. By default all JidePopup are transient. If transient is false, popup won't hide automatically when mouse is clicked outside. See enhancement request at here.
(Dock) Added setTabReorderAllowed() method to DockingManager so that you can disable tab reordering feature in Docking Framework. See enhancement request here.
(Dialogs) Added setGradientPaint() method to BannerPanel so that it can leverage faster gradient paint using JideSwingUtilities. See enhancement request here.

Bug fixes:

(Dialogs) Throw IllegalArgumentException if the pageList that passed to WizardDialog has pages with duplicated titles.
(Dock/Action) Added code to prevent user from calling setLayout() on DefaultDockableHolder or DefaultDockableBarHolder etc. This is not really a bug but to prevent user mistake. See bug report here.
(LookAndFeel) Fixed missing tree line in Xerto style. We unintentionally changed UIDefault "Tree.paintLines" to Boolean.FALSE. In this patch, we removed the change. In case you want JTree doesn't paint the connection line, you can still do it by setting that UIDefault to false.
(Action) Fixed NPE in DefaultDockableBarManager when calling showDockableBar() before loadLayoutData().
(Grids) Fixed delete the date in DateComboBox doesn't make the selected calendar to null.
(Grids) Fixed row heights go out of sync in TableScrollPaneDemo when sorted. See bug report here.
(Common) Fixed CheckBoxList doesn't allow unselect items. Added selectAll() and selectNone() method.
(Examples) Missing "A4. ThreeActionFramework" in Eclipse sample project source code path.

June 8, 2005 - 1.8.0

New features:

(Designer) Introduced Visual Designer for JIDE Docking Framework and JIDE Action Framework.
(LookAndFeel) Introduced Xerto style. Call LookAndFeelFactory.installJideExtension(LookAndFeelFactory.XERTO_STYLE) to switch to this wonderful new style.
(Common/Grids) You don't need to call InitDefaultXxx() on ObjectConverterManager/CellEditorManager/ CellRendererManager/ObjectComparatorManager. It will be called automatically when they are used for the first time. If you don't want to use this auto-init behavior, you can call setAutoInit(false) to disable this feature. In this case, you will call initDefaultXxx() by yourself just like before.
(LookAndFeel) One of the most asked questions from the first-time users are they can't get any of our components working because of they didn't call LookAndFeelFactory.installJideExtension(). We finally found out a solution to address this issue. In this version, even if you don't call installJideExtension(), we will call it automatically when needed. By default it will use either Office2003 style when your Windows XP theme is on or Vsnet style in all other cases. However you can still call installJideExtension(int style) to customize the style just like before.
(Common) Introduced a new component called CheckBoxList - which allows you to have check box inside JList. There is an example for it at examples/B10. CheckBoxList.
(Common) Introduced a new component called AutosizingTextArea - which allows you to have a short text area at the beginning, then its B11. AutosizingTextArea will automatically grow while you type in more lines in it. There is an example for it at examples/B11. AutosizingTextArea.
(Common) Introduced a better looking indeterminate progress bar.
(Common) Enhanced JideScrollPane to support scroll bar corners.
(Components) Added "Close All But This" and "Change Tab Groups Orientation" menu item to DocumentPane.s context menu.
(Components) Fixed the expand/collapse icons got clipped in office 2003 style.
(Dock) We now support JInternalFrame as rootPaneContainer for Docking Framework.
(Dock) Now you can use system property "docking.floatingContainerType" to decide to use JWindow or JDialog as floating frames' container. Both have pros and cons. If you set the property to "Dialog", it will use JDialog as floating container. In this case, it will support title bar when you have nested floating frames. It will also behave better when there is heavy weighted component inside the floating frames. If you set the property to "Window", it will use JWindow as floating container. DockableFramePopup only supports JWindow as floating container.
(Grids) Added renameCategory() to PropertyTableModel to make changing category a little easier.
(Grids) Added setCategories(String[]) on PropertyTableModel as well as a new constructor of PropertyTableModel so that you can specify the order of categories. We also added a way to sort the category. Constructor PropertyTableModel(List properties, int categoryOrder) is for this purpose. The categoryOrder could be 0 means unsorted, 1 means ascending or -1 means descending. We added setCategoryOrder() as well.
(Grids) Added MultilineStringComboBox, MultilineStringCellEditor etc for multiple line string. See enhancement request at here.
(Grids) Added PropertyTableSearchable to support the special need of Searchable for PropertyTable. For example recursively searching for child properties.
(Grids) Introduced BeanProperty/BeanIntrospector/BeanIntrospectorManager to make it easy to display properties of JavaBean. Please refer to JIDE Grids Developer Guide for how to use it.
(Grids) Added expert, preferred, hidden attribute to class Property to make it compatible with PropertyDescriptor.
(Grids) Added method setShowExpert() to PropertyTableModel so that you can choose to show/hide expert level properties.
(Example) Added a new example for StandardDialog at examples/W6. StandardDialog. It shows you how to create different dialog layout using StandardDialog.
(Example) Added a new example for Converters at examples/G14. Converter. It shows you how to create a new ObjectConverter on a custom type and use it in ListComboBox.

Bug fixes:

(Common) Request focus when JideSplitButton is clicked on button part.
(Common) Fixed JideToggleButton doesn't keep selected state when it is using TOOLBOX_STYLE.
(Examples) Fixed several examples of Docking/Action Framework doesn't run correctly under Linux on JDK5.
(Grids) Fixed NPE in SortableTableHeader when table is not sortable.
(Dialogs) Sets action directly on buttons in setNextAction(), setBackAction(), setCancelAction() and setFinishAction().
(Dock) Fixed wrong resizing behavior when dragging dockable frame to east/west side to north/south side.
(Action) Fixed DockableBarManager#setRearrangable() doesn't take effect immediately.
(Dock) Do not hide floating window if a modal dialog pops up.
(Dock) Fixed issues of loading layout with floating windows when the contentContainer is not added to its parent.
(Grids) Fixed DIALOG type AbstractComboBox doesn't fire popup event. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed selected month lost when selecting a new year in DateChooserPanel.
(Grids) Fixed ListComboBox and TreeComboBox don't use renderer set by setRenderer(). See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed ListComboBox's list and TreeComboBox's tree don't follow mouseMoved event to update the selection. See bug report here.
(Component) Fixed setBackground(null) on LabelStatusBarItem causing recursively calls.
(Dock/Action) Fixed toggleState() of both dockable frame and dockable bar so that if there is no saved undocked bounds, it will use the current location of dockable frame/dockable bar and slightly moves it down when making it floating. Otherwise, if the main window is on the second monitor, the floating dockable frame or dockable bar might jump to the first monitor which will get people lost.
(Dock/Action) When restoring layout, made sure the floating dockable frame or command bar within the screen boundary. Sometimes the layout is saved with dual monitor but when it is reloaded, there is only one monitor. That's where the bug happens.

Public API changes:

(All) Property names change in DockableFrame, DockableBar, DefaultDockingManager etc. See here for details. You may get compile error if you are using them. Now we strictly follow several rules. For example, if an object has a property called "fooBar" (first letter is always lowercase), then the setter will be setFooBar(), getter will be getFooBar(). There will always a constant defined PROPERTY_FOO_BAR (please note a _ between foo and bar since they are two words) and the value of it will be "fooBar". We corrected all properties we defined in the classes above to use this pattern.
(Component) Moves StringConverter from com.jidesoft.document to com.jidesoft.swing so that it can be used by JideTabbedPane.
(Dock) Changed setAuthideShowingContentHidden() to setAutohideShowingContentHidden() in DefaultDockingManager. It's a typo.
(Action) Moved CommandMenuBar from com.jidesoft.action.event package to com.jidesoft.action. It was a mistake. There is no reason for it to be at event package.
(Dock/Action) Made setRealized() and isRealized() private methods because they shouldn't be used outside.
(Grids) Changed Property#setDesciption() to setDescription(). It's misspelled.
(L&F) Removed create(), setDefaultLookAndFeel() method in LookAndFeelFactory which has been deprecated for many versions. LookAndFeelFactory doesn't extend BasicLookAndFeel anymore.
(Action) Move ContentContainer from com.jidesoft.action to com.jidesoft.swing package.

May 01, 2005 - Patch 5 to 1.7.0

Bug fixes:

(Grids) NPE in NestedtableHeaderUI. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed wrong tool tip on PropertyTable.
(Component) Fixed disabled CollapsiblePane is enabled again when L&F changes. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed in Docking Framework unexpected size change when dragging dockable frame from north/south side to east/west side and vice versa.
(Common) Fixed possible NPE in DefaultObjectConverter toString method.
(Grids) Changed Property's default type to null instead of String.class. This is a change of behavior. If you use Property constructors without type parameter, you need to make sure set the type correctly even if it's a String type.

April 29, 2005 - Patch 4 to 1.7.0

New features:

(Common/Component) Added method setTabClosableAt() so that you can control the close button's visibility (if setShowCloseButtonOnTab is true) on each tab. Also add setClosable() method to DocumentComponent. If false, the document cannot be closed in DocumentPane using the close button. See enhancement request here.
(Component) Added createButton() method in MemoryStatusBarItem so that user can override to create their own GC button. See enhancement request here.
(Grids) Added methods set/getSortableTablePreference in TableUtils to save SortableTable sort order and index. See enhancement request here.
(Grids) Added property event change support to Property and PropertyTableModel. Also added dependingProperties attribute to Property. Depending properties will be repainted when the Property value changes.
(Grids) Added getImageIcon() method in PropertyPane so that subclass can override to provide your own icons on PropertyPane's toolbar.
(All) Added anti-alias font support. If you are using JDK1.5, you can use -Dswing.aatext=true to enable anti-alias font for all JIDE components.

Bug fixes:

(Dock) Fixed possible concurrent modification to an internal data structure in DockingManager which might result in some unexpected behaviors.
(Dock) Fixed JTextField doesn't take keyboard input when it is in floating dockable frame. See bug report here and here.
(Dock) Fixed on dockable frame's title bar, the 1 pixel gray line is not visible under Eclipse L&F. Only regressed in 1.7.0.03. See bug report here.
(Dock) Fixed regular JComboBox's button cannot pull back the popup when clicking on it again. This is caused by code in DockingManager. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed so that ListComboBox's popup expands to its preferred size when the combobox itself is too narrow. See bug report here and here.
(Grids) Fixed an NPE in DateChooserPanel#updateCalendar() method.
(Grids) Fixed setSelectedDate doesn't change the displayed month to include that date. See bug report here.
(Common) Fixed an error in JideBoxLayout which results in wrong dockable frame when the frame is empty. See bug report here.
(Common) Fixed setBoldActiveTab() doesn't take effect immediately in JideTabbedPane.
(Common) Fixed wrong behavior in JideTabbedPane when it's scrolling. See bug report here.
(Common) Fixed a performance issue in JideBoxLayout which causes slowness when resizing split pane in JideDemos.

(Action) Fixed CommandBar's setTitle() doesn't work.
(Action) Fixed init floating CommandBar doesn't consider the value of getUndockedBounds(). See bug report here.
(Action) Fixed mouse side effect on unrelated component below when dragging a floating command bar to docked mode. See bug report here.

April 11, 2005 - Patch 3 to 1.7.0

New features:

(Dock) Gave DockableFrame a default background to match various Office 2003 theme. If you keep your component in DockableFrame's content pane transparent, you will see a more consistent background.
(Grids) Added createDescriptionPanel(), updateDescription() method so that subclass can override them to provide their own description panel.
(Grids) Added LEFT and RIGHT keys to expand/collapse in HierarchicalTable.
(Component) Supports transparent StatusBar. You just need to call StatusBar#setChildrenOpaque(false) before adding any status bar items to it. If you are on Office2003 style, you will see the gradient background is under StatusBar too. To be backward compatible, it's not transparent by default. See enhancement request here.
(Dialog) Added ButtonEvent.SET_DEFAULT_BUTTON so that you can control the default button for each page in WizardDialog. Default button is the one that will be invoked when ENTER is pressed.

Bug fixes:

(Dialog) Fixed Cancel/Finish button trigger the PAGE_OPENED event of next page, thus cause unexpected exception. See bug report here.
(Dialog) Fixed default action is not triggered when pressing enter and finish button paint problem in certain case. See bug report here.

(Grids) Fixed NegativeArraySizeException if fireTableRowsDeleted(0, 0) when row count == 0 in HierarchicalTable. See bug report here.
(Grids) Fixed various problem with AbstractComboBox button. We introduced UIDefault "AbstractComboBox.useJButton" as a boolean to determine if we use standard JButton as the combobox button or we get the JComboBox's button. The UIDefault value is Boolean.TRUE on Metal style and FALSE on other styles.
(Action) Fixed dockableBarAdded event is never fired. See bug report here.
(Action) Gave command bar a minimum size when there is no component on it. The size is defined in UIDefault "CommandBar.minimumSize".
(Dock) Fixed NPE in dispose() method of DefaultDockingManager in certain case.
(Common) Fixed missing UI default in Eclipse Metal L&F. See bug report here.
(Common) Fixed some inaccurate L&F in Office 2003 style menu. See bug report here.

(Action) Fixed wrong return value in getCurrentDockSide().
(Action) Changed floating command bar's title bar to blue color in VSNET style.
(Action) Added UIDefault "Chevron.alwaysVisible" so that user can choose if chevron is visible when it's not necessary. By default, only Office2003 style always keep chevron visible even there is no hidden component. We think it looks better this way. If you don't like it, you can set it to Boolean.FALSE.
(Action) In Office 2003 style, paints a gradient on selected menu. Also uses the correct color for the selected border. See bug report here.
(Action) Added a tolerant timer to JideMenu so that when user slightly moved out of the menu while trying to get to submenu, the submenu doesn't hide immediately.

(Dock) Fixed NPE in constructor of DefaultDockingManager if rootContainer parameter is null. We did it so that you can create DefaultDockingManager w/o knowing rootContainer. However you must call switchRootPaneContainer() to set a valid root pane container before using any methods on DockingManager.
(Component) Fixed divider moves slightly when switching active document within two document groups.
(Grids) Exposed SortArrow class so that user can create one's own arrow used in sortable table's table header.

This is different from setLastSelectedColor(). lastSelectedColor is the last color that user selected. It is also whatever color painted on the icon. See enhancement request here.
(Action) Added addExpansion() method to support opposite alignment of components on CommandBar. Components added before addExpansion() will align to left. Components added after addExpansion() will align to the right. See enhancement request here.
(Dialogs) Added getCurrentTipIndex() and setCurrentTipIndex() to TipsOfTheDayDialog so that user can save the index to user preference and resume from that index later. See enhancement request here.
(Dialogs) Made createTree and createList method protected so that extended class can override those method to create their own tree and list for TREE_STYLE and LIST_STYLE options dialog.

Bug fixes:

(Common) Fixed minimum size of FLEXIBLE component is not respected in JideBoxLayout. See bug report here.
(Common) Adjusts colors used DefaultOffice2003Theme so that it matches better with MS Office. See bug report here and here.
(Common) Do not fire RuntimeException if JideBoxLayout can't layout the components due to lack of space. It will simply ignore in this case. See bug report here.

However when table is updated frequently (a typical use case is a real-time stock quote table), it will hard for user to see it as the rows move up and down too quickly. In this case you can call setAutoResort(false), then add a button in the UI to call resort() which user can press if they want to.
(Grids) Made DefaultTableModelWrapper a ContextSensitiveTableModel. Since both SortableTableModel and FilterableTableModel extend DefaultTableModelWrapper, they become context sensitive table model as well.

We are aware of this problem a long time back thus just wait for a major release to fix it since it has to break the build.

September 21, 2003 - Patch 2 to 1.2.5

(Dock) add moveFrame() to DockingManager so that you can move a dockable frame to any other dockable frame as TabbedPane.
(Dock) add isAutohideShowingContentHidden() and setAutohideShowingContentHidden() to DockingManager. Default is false. This option is added to address the issue that autohide showing effect is very slow because of the repaint of content of the dockable takes a long time. If you set it to true, we will temporarily hide content pane of the frame during autohide showing.
