| By tweaking the preferences of the "showDescriptionArea". In any layer.xml file (for example the one of branding) add |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| |
| <folder name="Preferences"> |
| <folder name="org"> |
| <folder name="openide"> |
| <file name="explorer.properties" url="explorer.properties"/> |
| </folder> |
| </folder> |
| </folder> |
| ---- |
| |
| and then next to your layer.xml file create the explorer.properties that contains: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| |
| showDescriptionArea=false |
| sortOrder=0 |
| ---- |
| |
| I found this by looking at the PropUtils class in the NBP sources. |
