Description Rochelle Raccah 2006-08-12 00:12:07 UTC

This is in a JavaSE project using Java Persistence, so there's a META-INF dir.

The node for this dir shows under Source Packages in the explorer - good.
This dir shows up when using the Package combo (PackageView) in NFT templates,
but if the user chooses it, there's a message that it's invalid.  Can't it just
be excluded from the combo?  It might depend on what NFT item you choose, but it
seems silly for it to be populated with an invalid value.

Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2008-10-30 21:54:45 UTC

In the case of NBM projects, will be less of an issue in the future due to issue #150447: src/META-INF/services/ will
not exist normally. But still an issue for general project types.

Not worth the effort to fix, I think.

Comment 6 Rochelle Raccah 2009-10-21 00:55:59 UTC

Up to you, I guess, but there are a bunch of duplicates (one of the dups listed here has its own dups), so I think this
has been confusing for several folks.
