Description overzealous 2001-12-18 18:05:48 UTC 
After selecting a filesystem to mount, I think that the Wizard should offer 
the "Capabilities" as checkboxes on their own pane.  These should be offered in 
plain "English", such as

[X] Compile the classes in this folder
[X] Debug the classes in this folder
[X] Allow these files to be edited

This is important because it is not often that a filesystem is mounted, but I 
often forget to turn off these options for my jdk\src folder.

Some parts of the requested features aren't core's job, in fact,
Please reassign the issue to java module after the infrastructure is
in place :-)

Comment 5 Svata Dedic 2002-08-05 18:11:23 UTC 
I believe this one is obsolete for 4.0+ -- at least for the options
proposed. Something similar is planned for adding resource folder UI
in the new java project support and FileSystem capabilities will be
deprecated/removed anyway.
Shouldn't java/projects overtake this request ?

The 'Mount Filesystem' paradigm was replaced by ant-base build/project
system. It nicely distinguishes source classpath from library
classpathes and it also allows to set dependencies between projects.

JDK sources are scanned just onces.
