Description Jaromir Uhrik 2004-08-18 16:41:34 UTC 
[200408180923; jdk1.5.0-rc-b63]
1.invoke properties of "Source Packages" (similar
problem is with "Test Packages")
2.change property "name"
3.NPE appears and the "Source Packages" will
vanish from the Projects view

The problem only in that the change of property is
not delegated in the projects.properties

This node should not have any properties and "Properties..." should
not be in the context menu; it is useless, an accidental byproduct of
the FolderNode-based implementation. Renaming ${src.dir} from the GUI
is not supported. Jano please update the spec.

Petr when fixed, please reassign to javacore as it clearly has some
kind of robustness bug here.
Comment 3 jrojcek 2004-08-19 16:52:55 UTC 
I assume that also a package node should not have the Properties menu item.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2004-08-19 18:13:23 UTC 
Indeed.

The "Sort Mode" property could in principle be useful in rare cases,
but probably not worth cluttering the GUI with. Anyway I'm not sure it
even works; and the "By Name (Packages First)" choice is nonsense in
the package view.

available on the Source Packages and Test Packages node)
