Description Thomas Preisler 2003-10-03 01:10:46 UTC

The first panel in many wizards is often the "New
Object Name" or  "Target Location" panel which is
a standard NetBeans panel returned by
TemplateWizard.targetChooser().

Their names (there are two variants) are too
generic and in some cases misleading.

In Sun Studio (native edition) we have a makefile
wizard that uses this panel, and the name "Target
Location" confuses many users because the phrase
'Target' is a part of a makefile and what the
panel really asks for is the name of a the
makefile and where to store it.

What we want is a way to override the name of the
panels to something more useful for our users.
There are two instances of the panel,
NewObjectWizardPanel and TemplateWizardpanel2, but
neither are public and cannot be overridden.

this is an RFE not a DEFECT

Comment 2 Thomas Preisler 2003-10-08 18:35:43 UTC

OK, but any chance to get it 'fixed' in 35R ?

Comment 3 _ ttran 2003-10-21 12:38:11 UTC

I don't think it's fixable for now.  We don't want to introduce new
API in a side branch especially the whole wizards framework is being
redesigned for the next release

Comment 4 Thomas Preisler 2007-02-01 21:54:52 UTC

It is no longer an issue. In 5.5, 5.5.1, 6.0 the panel is called "Name and
Location". This issue should be closed as 'Fixed'.....

Comment 5 Jiri Rechtacek 2007-02-02 10:20:25 UTC

Per agreement closed as Fixed. Thanks
