There is no way to edit added Referenced resource. For now there is no property sheet for the node representing referenced resource nor edit action. Also since referenced resource node name is a referenced resource URI it would be nice to have a quick edit feature - single-click on a referenced resource node, or press F2.
I think new popup action "Edit" should be implemented and it's enough.
implemented: http://hg.netbeans.org/soa-dev65/rev/b90c49844e04 Edit = Add + Delete
I'm reopening to implement additional request. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Issue 164161 Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:56:39 -0700 From: Terry Braun To: Vladimir Yaroslavskiy Hi Vladimir, Thank you very much for your explanations. Given what you have said, I agree the enhancement does what you want it to. But since you asked ..... I will accept the challenge to suggest another vision for the implementation. How practical this is may be problematic, but I think it makes it clearer to the user. a) If the type of referenced resource can be identified, it would make sense to have a different context menu for "Local" and "Remote" resources. b) For the "Local" resources, the context menu would have three selections: 1) an "Open resource" selection would behave as the current "Open" selection does, with the added clarity that you are opening a resource which would suggest the "OpenCookie" implementation you have described. 2) a "Replace with ..." selection to take care of the surprise I found in my observation 5. Selecting this would give the "Open" dialog, and the user would understand that they were navigating to the location of the WSDL, JAR, or whatever file for replacement, and when they clicked the "Open" button the replacement would make sense as a "Replace with..." 3) a "Delete resource" selection to take care of the surprise I found in my observation 4. Selecting this, would not give the "Open" dialog, and the user would understand that they are simply deleting the WSDL, JAR, or whatever file. c) For the "Remote" resources, the context menu would have four selections: 1) an "Open URL" selection would connect to the browser and display exactly what it does now. 2) an "Edit URL" selection would display and implement the "Input" dialog for changing the URL that is currently used. 3) a "Reload resource ..." selection that would do what the "Reload" selection currently does. [Thank you for the clarification how to get to this, but it is not clear what reloading does. I would assume something is being changed in my project, but since there no visible indication of something being done, I don't know what it is. Is there some file, reference, or folder I can look at/into to verify that changes to the remote resource have been updated in my project? 4) a "Delete URL" selection which would simply delete the resource. This vision of the implementation assumes different context menus (which may not be possible) and may not be consistent with basic user interface principles, but I think it would give the user a better feeling for what they are doing.
