About the STS Dashboard

Hello Christian Dupuis,STS Team,

STS Dashboard is a very excellent feature.

I have a problem about the STS Dashboard.

[Problem]
How did STS Dashboard is implemented?

Could you please explain the problem?

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

I'm not sure about the actual problem but I can provide some background about the Dashboard and how it is implemented:

The Dashboard is a multipage editor which uses the Eclipse Forms API to create the layout. The content is populated from RSS feeds and other online content, like tutorials.

Is there anything specific you'd like to hear?

Hi Christian,

Thanks your excellent reply!

You have given me an answer. Especially Eclipse Forms API -gt; it's just what I want.

BTW: I have guessed that the content of dashboard used RSS feeds.

To be exactly said, the integration between the IDE and RSS feeds(Web 2.0,) gave the users an good view for finding the SpringSource's news and blogs,......

The dashboard policy should be view of the SpringSource's strategy consideration for abstracting more people.

It's a good concept! -gt; At the same time, I also think that the concept should appear in Spring IDE more earlier,

To the Eclipse Forms, I give the following ucl to learn it to decorate the Thead.

At the same time dashboard could be useless - if you're behind very strict corporate firewall or on very slow network.

Yes, this indeed true.

If you find the Dashboard of little value, go to the Configuration tab and uncheck quot;Show on startupquot;.

In STS 2.3.0 we spend some time to re-do the Dashboard. You can now configure your own RSS feed ucls to be included. This is will allow you to disable the external ucls and maybe configure network-internal feeds like your JIRA or CI build server or wiki.

Configuring RSS ucls would be useful. Thanks!
