Description Kedar Mhaswade 2007-12-14 23:30:37 UTC

This RFE asks for short-circuiting two steps *when they can be combined*. The scenario is creating a new Class in a new
or existing package. When I have chosen "Source Packages" node in a Java Project and I want to create a class Foo in a
package com.example, I should be able to:
- Click on New Java Class (or Interface)
- Specify the name as: "com.example.Foo" ...

Currently, the IDE does not let me choose '.' in the class name field.

Comment 1 Tomas Zezula 2007-12-15 08:54:33 UTC

Adding Jano from UI team to cc list. We can split the Class Name when there is '.' to package name & simple name and
automatically fill the package text field.

Comment 2 jrojcek 2008-01-03 07:05:46 UTC

That sounds reasonable to me. Just note you need to check for cases like:

- If the user modifies the value in the package text field, so the class name field and package field would not match.
- If the user invokes the NFW on a package node (the package field is then filled in) and enters a different package into the class name field.

Maybe some other cases.
