Description lordy 2005-09-17 14:18:01 UTC

[ BUILD # : 200509151800 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_02 ]

In the Project Properties Dialog in Run the Fields  Arguments and 
VM Options, and in Documenting the Field JavaDoc Options is not 
optimally.

Here i think is a List/Table is more clearly if you have much 
Application Arguments.

The screenshot show this Dialog from Apple xCode. I real like this 
way. In xCode you also can enable or disable a option. So you must 
not remind a option for a later use, just disable it.

It looks nice, reassigning to UI team to evaluate.

Comment 3 rmichalsky 2008-10-15 10:18:52 UTC

Any plans to work on this? Apisupport projects will probably get new UI for VM options, etc. (issue #64618) and it would
be nice to have it at least partially consistent with J2SE project properties dialog. I also like the idea at the
screenshot, there usually is a limited set of options that people need to turn on and off now and then.
