Details

TreeTable requires user to click once, deal with authentication, another click to collapse the non-existent tree, and another to open to display folders. The fix is to fit JTreeTable from Sun in. Waiting for clearance from Philip Milne.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
This also breaks my just implemented POP3 - Get New Mail - Maildrop code :( So I hope this will be fixed soon
This is a huge project. I'm waiting on Sun to get back to me about demo code from JTreeTable.
All you have to do is make TreeTable.TreeNode.build()'s activites thread safe. It turns out that if you thread build(), everything is good again. And it TreeTable acts the right way.
So what's the current plan with this one? Maybe we could just drop the whole thing for now and add the password to the preferences directly?
Severity: minor → critical
Priority: P2 → P1
Changed to critical because pop3 maildrop can't be done until this is fixed.
Severity: critical → major
Removed the necessity for DialogAuthenticator, in fact, it is even not used anymore. However, the tree isn't automagically expanded anymore, one still has to open, close and open. Does anyone remember how to fix this?
This bug has not been touched for more than nine months. In most cases, that means it has "slipped through the net". Please could the owner take a moment to add a comment to the bug with current status, and/or close it. Thank you :-) Gerv

Here's my idea: move a lot of Grendel's events from using its own interfaces to using the Sun Java ones (for example, using javax.swing.event.TreeExpansionListener and javax.swing.event.TreeModelListener instead of Grendel's TreeTableModelListener). This should make this change a bit simpler when the time comes.
