Sure. Before it looks like this:

afterwards like this:

It takes indeed some space from the Import Packages section, but as it's only a little bit there is IMO still sufficient space for the Import Packages section.

But as mentioned in #1881 (comment), this was mainly created to serve as a live-demo at the OCX webinar today.

The Form Framework is really quite wasting space for little benefit. So if we really want to make this more accessible we better move it somewhere else and remove the section all together.

It is indeed not very efficient. In this case it could for example place the elements in a 2x2 grid...
On the other hand I'm not sure if moving it for example to the toolbar would be a better user experience overall.
In the MANIFEST editor there are already 5 toolbar elements and adding three or four (the first two elements could be combined) could make it look cluttered.
And the current style has the advantage that it has an immediately readable text.
Furthermore the location in the Dependencies section also fits quite well IMHO.

But I also understand that some might want to use that space to see more of the imported packages.
I'm torn on this and it probably depends on what one wants.

What's the opinion of others?

Just mentioning it, you can have text in toolbars as well.

Apart form that, no one has the need to have text / a big expandable section for all the other functions in Eclipse we have at the toolbars all over the place.

Lets close this. It was mainly a demo and we have split opinions on this.
