Description markiewb 2012-12-02 14:28:21 UTC

[ BUILD # : 201211290002 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_09 ]

File template manager: Duplicated templates from existing templates still 
use the original description 

* Duplicate "JApplet" template from category "Java" -> "JApplet 1" node will 
be created
* Close the dialog
* Open "File New ..."-dialog and browse to "JApplet 1" 

ACTUAL: the description of the original is displayed. See screenshot 
(Currently there is no way to modify the description within the template 
manager dialog?)
EXPECTED: ??? no description?

FYI: there were some related discussions in https://www.netbeans.org/
bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=76759

Created attachment 128717 [details]
Shows the original description of a duplicated template

Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2012-12-06 13:40:59 UTC

The description is defined by "instantiatingWizardURL" file attribute. The attributes are copied during the template duplication, this is why the description is the same.
We should probably allow to edit/add the description.

Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2012-12-10 10:36:04 UTC

The description is currently not editable, thus this is a feature in fact.
