Description khaps 2002-10-31 23:25:45 UTC

The "Tools | Options" menu is an unwieldly way to
find out which modules are currently installed
and/or enabled, esp. for a user like me who keeps
installing/uninstalling/disabling them based on
need and curiosity. Can there be a simpler way to
look up this information, maybe a listing of
installed modules on a tab in "Help | About"?

I guess. Seems like it would not affect so many users, though.

Easy workaround:

touch $userdir/system/UI/Runtime/org-netbeans-core-ui-ModuleNode.instance

and restart or wait a minute if necessary for a list of modules to
appear in the Runtime tab. (Possibly dev builds only! Similar tricks
are possible in 3.4 I think. This trick might work in 3.4, not sure.)

Also note that the Setup Wizard shows them all. Not sure how many
different places the same info should be displayed.

In my opinion it is enough, wontfix

Without new informations for long time - verifying, closing.
