Description Jiri Kovalsky 2006-03-27 13:10:27 UTC

Development build #200603270200 of NetBeans 5.5
Fedora Core 3, JDK 1.5.0_05 build #5

Description:
============
For some reason IDE creates META-INF directory when moving class to source root
package. See attached screenshot.

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Invoke "File|New Project..." from main menu.
2. Select "General" category and "Java Application" project type.
3. Push "Next >", then "Finish" buttons.
4. Drag "Main.java" class and drop it on "Source Packages" node.
5. Uncheck "Preview All Changes" option and push "Next >".
6. You will see that "META-INF" node shows up under "Source Packages".

This does not belong to refactoring. It is caused by a bug in the J2SE project's
implementation of J2SEPersistenceFinder. Partially fixed by the introduction of
j2ee/persistenceapi. Now the steps to reproduce are to remove the META-INF
folder and restart NetBeans. The folder is recreated during the restart.

Martine, since the config files folder handling has been moved to
J2SEPersistenceProvider I think it is not necessary anymore to always create the
META-INF folder in J2SEPF.getConfigFilesFolder().
