Description William Leonard 2007-10-26 00:03:55 UTC

Working with Enterprise Application projects can be confusing as all of the project's modules (sub-projects) are at the
same level in the tree. This is especially true when other open projects alphabetically insert themselves in between the
Enterprise Application projects. Ideally, the module projects belonging to the Enterprise Application project would be
listed as sub-projects underneath the EAR project. I've uploaded 2 images that demonstrate the problem:
netbeans_projectpane_current.png and netbeans_projectpane_mock.gif. You see in the netbeans_projectpane_current.png that
dukesbank-client, which is not a part of the EAR project, falls right in the middle of the EAR project's modules.
Compare this with the netbeans_projectpane_mock.gif, which shows a much more friendly project interface.
