Any chances that this will be included in 4.0 ? This is not a bad idea, but the schedule for 4.0 is pretty tight. Feature freeze is in the middle of May and we have a bunch of must-to-have tasks to implement. This would be pretty hard to implement. org.openide.util.UserQuestionException is used to handle the question dialog. It's designed for a simple text and Y/N answer. One can not add a component that would retrieve the list of current editors. The list of registered editors can not be included into the UserQuestionException description, because the retrieval process can take a long time. There's no simple way how this can be implemented (we're limited by the APIs), therefore I do not expect that this will be implemented into 4.0, unfortunately. Hmm that's bad news :( Especially taking into account that I entered this issue more then a year and two versions ago... We have unfortunately many old enhancements pending. If you think that some enhancement will be valuable for users, but it's not being addressed for a long time, increase it's priority. We do not use the Edit/Editors/Watch, etc. commands here (when accessing cvs.netbeans.org), so this might be why this did not get appropriate attention. I understand that for workgroups which use the read-only checkout this would be a valuable enhancement, so I'm increasing the priority, it will hopefully be scheduled for some near future release (4.0 is already after feature freeze). Just a side-note: IntelliJ IDEA does have that feature :) |
