-go to new RESTful ws client stubs wizard -press Add Project... Actual: Open project dialog is opened and user is expected to find the project he wants to use on the filesystem Expected: Dialog with the list of already opened projects in the IDE is shown to the user I think that second scenario - one is creating ws client stubs for project he has opened/is developing in the IDE - is more common, so this could improve usability a bit.
This seems to be in-line with Peter's argument in our discussion. Peter, would you evaluate and decide whether to make the change.
Right now, I don't see any other way to improve usability but this. The original argument for using the file chooser is to be inline with specifying project dependency, in which case, you don't need to have all the projects open in the IDE. However, currently, users have no way to find out if a project contains restful resource or not. I have been trying to figure out how to filter out projects that do not contain restful services. However, there are issues since a project folder can contain other projects and can be very expensive. In addition, the core web service support use the same approach for creating clients. Anyway, I argued for the open project approach from the start so it is +1 for me.
Changing this to an enhancement request. Also, there is currently no solution for this issue because a project folder can contain other projects. In order to filter out a project, we need to search all the sub-projects recursively to determine that the root project can be filtered out. This is not practical at all.
moving opened issues where TM != dev to TM=TBD
