Description Jan Benway 2001-04-11 18:45:58 UTC 
Create a jar contents file called test.

Attempt to create a second jar contents file with the same name in the same
location. You get all the way through the wizard (possibly with extensive
customization) and after you hit finish, you are told that that file name
already exists so too bad for you. :)

This problem has been fixed for similar wizards. See:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7881

(note that ideally I'd like the option to overwrite an existing file, but
following the current practice used in the New Class wizard would be better than
what the jar packager wizard is doing now)

How are you doing this?

When I use the wizard, the target-choosing panel greys out "Next" anf "Finish" 
when I type a duplicate name.  Note that this panel isn't jar-packager-specific.  
The fix referred to in 7881 was for all wizards, including this one.

Well, after further investigation, it looks like I did something a bit weird,
and it might be a general bug, not specifically a jar packager bug.

It only happens in this case:

Create the test object in the root of a filesystem.

Now try to create the duplicate:

Bring up the wizard from File->New (not with right-click)
Choose the object type, hit next
Enter the name of the same-named object and indicate the root of the filesystem
as the target location.
Next is grayed out at this point.
Hit the back button to see the template selection page.
Hit Next again.
Now Next is (incorrectly) enabled and you hit the bug.

So, it is not a Jar packager bug, but a regular New wizard bug. I'm not sure
what category it goes in. Could you move it?

This seems to be a hole in the fix for 7881.  Marking it a duplicate.  I also 
re-opened 7881 and left a pointer there to Jan's explanation of how to reproduce 
it.
