This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
1. Replace the server type combo box with a list box (with single select). 2. Move the server name input field from the first step of the wizard to the step in which the server location is entered. It is easier for the user to create the server instance name when he sees the name of the installation folder. After entering the server location, the IDE can also offer better default server instance name than it is possible at the moment.
I did at least the first part, changed the combo box to a list. Moving the name to second panel is OK but you will have to think a bit about how to combine it with the settings provided by the server, how will it look in a panel that is called differently for every server, etc. /cvs/j2eeserver/nbproject/project.xml,v <-- project.xml new revision: 1.22; previous revision: 1.21 /cvs/j2eeserver/src/org/netbeans/modules/j2ee/deployment/impl/ui/wizard/ServerChooserVisual.form,v <-- ServerChooserVisual.form new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2 /cvs/j2eeserver/src/org/netbeans/modules/j2ee/deployment/impl/ui/wizard/ServerChooserVisual.java,v <-- ServerChooserVisual.java new revision: 1.9; previous revision: 1.8
I agree that it won't be a completely simple change and it would probably require to redesign server wizard panes a bit more. Thanks for implementing the 1st part.
The first part is done. We do not plan to implement the second part.
