Deprecated methods in openapi.jar Follow

Hello ALincoln,

I've got a problem when replacing method
ToolWindowManager.registerToolWindow(@NotNull String id,@NotNull
JComponent component,@NotNull ToolWindowAnchor anchor); (which is
deprecated) with ToolWindowManager.registerToolWindow(@NotNull String
id, boolean canCloseContent, @NotNull ToolWindowAnchor anchor);

After I've made such change in my project, my window is not
registered, it doesn't work.

After you've made this change, you also need to call ToolWindow.getContentManager().addContent()
to add your component to the toolwindow.

I'm sorry, maybe I don't understand smething but if I have:
ToolWindow window = manager.registerToolWindow(viewID, true, ToolWindowAnchor.BOTTOM);
ContentManager cm = window.getContentManager();
cm.addContent() - here I can't add a JComponent, because I need to add a JComponent toolWindow here.. addContent doesn't work with JComponent

Should I do:
ContentManager cm = window.getContentManager();
cm.getComponent().add(toolWindow);

Use PeerFactory.getContentFactory().createContent() to create a Content instance
for your component.

Hello Alex,

Yes, in IDEA 8 this is the correct API to use. ContentFactory.SERVICE is
not available in IDEA 7.
