btw: this is how the gui looks when I deactivate all plugins:
http://www.abload.de/img/nicejump_wo_pluginsq71j.png
I think this is a nice showcase of how to customize a scalable
user interface.
here is the corresponding source code for this:
static void main(args) {
Translation.reset()
Translation.addLanguageFilePath("src/main/nicejump/lang")
//Translation.loadLanguage("de")
def workbench = new Workbench()
def plugInManager = workbench.getPlugInManager()
// plugInManager.initializePlugIn(new ErrorHandlerPlugIn())
// plugInManager.initializePlugIn(new ProjectModulePlugIn())
// plugInManager.initializePlugIn(new MapPanelPlugIn())
// plugInManager.initializePlugIn(new ProjectPanelPlugIn())
// plugInManager.initializePlugIn(new EssentialModulePlugIn())
// plugInManager.initializePlugIn(new PropertiesPanelPlugIn())
// plugInManager.initializePlugIn(new PythonShellPlugIn())
workbench.startProgram()
}
