Bug 59937: Sub menus addition
JMeter must offer developers to place elements in sub-menus too to improve
the user experience.
It is realised by introducing the "drawer" property into "MenuInfo".
The "MenuFactory" uses this property to place or not the "MenuItem" into a
sub "JMenu".
This property is defined for both JMeter element kinds (Graphical or
BeanInfo).
Like the "menuCategories" do, "subMenuCategories" offers to place an
element into multiple places (root menu and/or one/several submenus).
The definition is made like following:
* Graphical kind:
By Adding the "getSubMenuCategories()" method in the GUI related class and
defining the returned String array:
** "null" or [""]: lets the item in the root of the related category menu.
** ["AAA"]: places the item into the sub menu name "AAA"
** ["AAA", "BBB"]: places the item into the sub menu name "AAA" and into
the sub menu "BBB"
** ["", "AAA"]: places the item into the root of the related category menu
and into sub menu name "AAA".
NB: If the method is missing, it does change nothing. the item remains in
the root of the related category menu.
NB: The sub menu names must be translated by the resources mechanism.
* BeanInfo kind:
By twisting the BeanInfo "shortDescription" property to get the translated
sub menu names. Several places names must be separated by ";":
** property "shortDescription" undefined or set to "": lets the item in the
root of the related category menu.
** "AAA": places the item into the sub menu name "AAA"
** "AAA;BBB: places the item into the sub menu name "AAA" and into the sub
menu "BBB"
** ";AAA": places the item into the root of the related category menu and
into sub menu name "AAA".
Warning: general and specific resources related string must be identical or
different sub menus will appears.
===========================================================
Hope it will helpfull for other developpers, I really need it for my whole
sets of plugins
I've gathered some protocol specific elements to show the efficency of the
mechanism
Up to you to roll them back, gather them differently or change the name
used for the submenus
