Inline Edit Mode for SourceList

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've an idea for a cool enhancement.
(In fact this is missing in our app so far)

Is it possible to inline edit items in SourceList?

Like it works in iTunes... see screenshot attached.

Best,
Peter

Not yet, but this is a good idea.

You can edit items inline with just the SourceListTreeUI, but it doesn't quite 
work the way you expect it to work, because the 
indentation (corresponding to the the treepath depth) is missing.
This is caused by the way public Rectangle getPathBounds(JTree tree, TreePath 
path) is overwritten in SourceListTreeUI... the same 
Rectangle that is returned by this method is also used to figure out where to 
place the EditorComponent. The way it's overwritten, the 
component is always set to x=0.

You can hack around this problem by doing something like:

public class MyTreeCellEditor extends DefaultTreeCellEditor {

// I left some stuff out here...
// get editing path and icon from isCellEditable(event) call
// use icon in determineOffset(..) to get the offset right
[...]

    protected Container createContainer() {
        return new MacWidgetsEditingContainer();
    }

    private class MacWidgetsEditingContainer extends EditorContainer {

        public void setBounds(final int x, final int y, final int width, final int height) {
            final SourceListTreeUI treeUI = (SourceListTreeUI) tree.getUI();
            int realX = (treeUI.getLeftChildIndent() + treeUI.getRightChildIndent()) * (editingPath.getPath().length - 1);   
            super.setBounds(realX, y, width, height);
        }
    }
}

However, this is certainly not the way this should be done. Really hope that 
there will be a decent enhancement at some point.

Thanks.
