DockingManager

The docking manager allows you to:

• Get the underlying Bento instance
• Get the root bento container that holds the docking container hierarchy
• Get the primary bento container that holds open Navigable contents (Where classes and other files get opened by default)
• Easily create new Dockable instance

Getting Bento

Its just a getter. That being said, the Bento instance has a lot you can do with it. It has its own event bus (Which you can add listeners to), search API, and hooks for creating UI elements. See BentoFX for additional usage.

Bento bento = dockManager.getBento();

Getting root/primary containers

The root container is the container that houses all others in the initial Recaf window.

DockContainerRootBranch root = dockManager.getRoot();

The primary container is the container that houses Dockable items represening classes and files you open. Its the initial space they will open in when interacting with them.

DockContainerLeaf primary = dockManager.getPrimaryDockingContainer();

Creating dockables

Dockables are the bento model for open tabs. The docking manager provides a number of helper methods for creating common sorts of dockables.
