Description Rochelle Raccah 2005-04-19 00:59:49 UTC

The behavior of Tools->Synchronize adds missing interface methods from to an
impl class.  But this behavior is not named intuitively - the only reason I knew
what it did is because I had seen it automatically pop up in a previous version
of NB that did not even have refactoring.

This should probably be incorporated into the refactoring behavior and flow, but
at the very least, it should be named better and made available from both the
editor and the node.  Right now it is only available on the explorer tree node menu.

Rudolfe, can you suggest better name?

Comment 2 Rudolf Bock 2005-05-04 13:55:16 UTC

This issue is solved by the new structure of Refactoring menus:   http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/
editor/refactor_menus/refactoring_menus.html

Comment 3 Rochelle Raccah 2005-05-06 21:03:40 UTC

The link is broken by wordwrap.  Here it is
<http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/editor/refactor_menus/refactoring_menus.html>

But, the name in the new document is "Check for Missing Interfaces".  Shouldn't
it be about interface *methods*?  And, shouldn't it be more like "Add Missing
Interface Methods" instead of check for?

Comment 4 Martin Matula 2005-05-08 12:09:15 UTC

We learned that this spec. exists from this issue. We did not even know there
are plans to create such spec. So I would take it as a proposal for discussion
rather than a final document.

Comment 5 Milan Kubec 2005-05-17 10:10:11 UTC

This issue really needs to be addressed, since the action is almost completly
hidden for less experienced users.

Comment 6 Milan Kubec 2005-06-01 12:51:19 UTC

Has the discussion already started?

Comment 7 Jan Becicka 2005-08-22 15:55:52 UTC

Tools->Synchronize was removed. This bug is not valid any more.
