public class CompoundDockable extends Object implements Dockable
This class allows dockable nesting, with full support for workspace save and restore.
Currently this class is associated to a CompoundDockingPanel component : you insert dockables into it with an initial addDockable(CompoundDockable) invocation from DockingDesktop, and further dockables with split/createTab calls.
Example :
DockingDesktop desk = ...
desk.addDockable(dockable1);
desk.split(dockable1, dockable2, DockingConstants.SPLIT_RIGHT);
// now let's add a compound dockable
CompoundDockable compound = new CompoundDockable(new DockKey("Compound!"));
desk.split(dockable1, compound);
// and add a tab into it
desk.addDockable(compound, dockable3); // initial nesting : new API call
desk.createTab(dockable3, dockable4, 1); // a tab, using standard API
CompoundDockables are displayed as SingleDockableContainers (with a title bar). Don't forget to properly initialize the DockKey of this dockable to have it well presented on screen (name, tooltip, icon).
