Description _ briansmith 2002-09-28 04:48:55 UTC

Currently, MDR Explorer seems to label all the
repositories as "MDRepository." However, it would
be better if it used the display name of the
repository file. For example, the default
repository should be labeled as something like
"Default Repository", and my SMN repository should
be labeled "SMN Metadata Cache" since that is the
localized name I chose for the file. If no
localized name for the file is given, then the
regular (non-localized) name of the file should be
given.

Alternatively, if you don't want to have such a
low-level dependency on the default repository
implementation, then perhaps you could use the
repositories name as used by
MDRManager.getRepository(String name). The bad
thing about this name though is that it isn't
really localizable.

I'd attempt to patch this myself but I'm not sure
about the best way to do it? Maybe the same way as
the mechanism used for the display names of the
extents themselves?

I am closing all reports in category Java/Unsupported as wontfix. These should
be dead issues --- if the reported cases are against some live part of the
NetBeans IDE please reopen and we can discuss to which category they belong.
