Description borre 2012-03-22 06:28:13 UTC

When adding a new Window (Netbeans Platform Top Component) I an not able to select the mode in which to place the new TopComponent. The Drop Down List is empty. I leave it and completes the wizard. The generated code contains the following:
@TopComponent.Registration(mode = "Expression MODE is undefined on line 28, column 38 in Templates/NetBeansModuleDevelopment-files/templateTopComponent637.java."

BasicSettingsPanel.setupCombo() relies on         FileSystem fs = data.getProject().getLookup().lookup(NbModuleProvider.class).getEffectiveSystemFilesystem();
which can take a long long time in a maven based application (in some cases needs to download the entire platform to local cache)
IMHO setupCombo() should first initiate the combo with default values and then consult NbModuleProvider for finetuned information.

I suppose this is primarily an apisupport issue. reassigning.

What do you mean by initiate the combo with default values? All values are fetched in DesignSupport.existingModes()...

Closing as INCOMPLETE. Feel free to reopen if there will be any additional info.
