If you disable both Refactoring and CVS Versioning System modules, the position
of Tools item in the main menu changes. Tools menu moves to the left, and is
between Go To and Source items. This is very ugly.

Dafe, over to you.
Comment 2 David Simonek 2005-09-13 16:14:25 UTC 
Yes, IMO at least 10th example I saw over the years of why raw numbers would be
better for ordering than our overcomplicated relative part-ordering beast, which
eats both performance and my time (~money). I'm simply not smart enough to use
our beast correctly.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2005-09-13 23:20:26 UTC 
Registry was supposed to permit numeric ordering. However it is on hold
indefinitely.
Comment 4 David Simonek 2005-09-20 13:37:12 UTC 
fixed in main trunk:

Btw, I thought that we support only standard set of modules. AFAIK no one is
testing non standard set of modules and there are hunders of similar bugs that
I'm sure. Better not dig deep in this or we'll have to slip code freeze by a
month or so. Just IMHO.

> ... there are hunders of similar bugs ...

You are perhaps right. I filed this one because I was interested in the
configuration where the advanced features (CVS, refactoring, ...) were disabled
by default. The reason was this may be interesting for any future light-edition
of Netbeans.

Thanks for fixing this.
