Description Milan Kubec 2002-05-21 13:36:15 UTC

User should be able to change order of targets
which another target depends on. Some kind of
reorderable list of checkboxes.

Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2002-05-21 19:09:36 UTC

Last I checked on ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org, the order of targets in
a depend="..." attribute is not specified to mean anything. Thus the
NB UI is consistent in not providing reordering support for it.

Comment 2 Quality Engineering 2003-06-30 14:44:34 UTC

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.

Comment 3 Quality Engineering 2003-06-30 14:47:30 UTC

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.

Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2004-03-30 15:18:52 UTC

Apologies - the Ant manual does say that it will attempt to honor the
supplied order (though it may be modified by dependencies).

Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2004-03-30 15:19:50 UTC

Really no plans to implement more Explorer-based GUI however, unless
there is proper XML structure editing support.

Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2004-05-05 16:20:22 UTC

No longer plan to support structure editing.

Comment 7 Marian Mirilovic 2005-12-20 16:04:53 UTC

This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither
added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. 
If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. 

Thanks in advance.
