[oXygen-sdk] Styling inside the DITA Map Manager

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hello Nigel,

The tree used in the DITA Maps Manager is a standard Swing JTree and 
does not take at all the CSS into account.
But if you implement a Workspace Access Plugin type (you probably 
already have one) you could use our API to customize the cell renderer 
set by us, for example something like:

>     this.pluginWorkspaceAccess.addEditorChangeListener(new WSEditorChangeListener() {
>       /**
>        * @see ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.listeners.WSEditorChangeListener#editorOpened(java.net.URL)
>        */
>       @Override
>       public void editorOpened(URL editorLocation) {
>         WSEditor ed = pluginWorkspaceAccess.getEditorAccess(editorLocation, StandalonePluginWorkspace.DITA_MAPS_EDITING_AREA);
>         WSDITAMapEditorPage ditaEDPage = (WSDITAMapEditorPage) ed.getCurrentPage();
>         JTree tree = (JTree) ditaEDPage.getDITAMapTreeComponent();
>         final TreeCellRenderer currentRenderer = tree.getCellRenderer();
>         tree.setCellRenderer(new DefaultTreeCellRenderer() {
>           /**
>            * @see javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellRenderer#getTreeCellRendererComponent(javax.swing.JTree, java.lang.Object, boolean, boolean, boolean, int, boolean)
>            */
>           @Override
>           public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean sel,
>               boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus) {
>             JPanel panel = (JPanel) currentRenderer.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, sel, expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
>             panel.setBorder(null);
>             if(value instanceof AuthorElement) {
>               AuthorElement elem = (AuthorElement) value;
>               if(elem.getAttribute("status") != null) {
>                 if("new".equals(elem.getAttribute("status").getValue())) {
>                   panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(0, 0, 1, 0, Color.LIGHT_GRAY));
>                 }
>               }
>             }
>             return panel;
>           }
>         });
>       }
>     }, StandalonePluginWorkspace.DITA_MAPS_EDITING_AREA);
