Description lpolycarpou 2008-02-07 22:26:36 UTC 
Some NB plugins have references to URLs in their description e.g. RubyOnRails.  It should be possible to enable
hyperlinks for these URLs so that they can be clicked on directly from the New Project wizard and opened in the default
external browser.  See screenshot for clarity.

Comment 2 Milan Kubec 2008-10-17 15:18:55 UTC 
I think this should be solved on more general level, e.g. as component available for all modules. Please evaluate.
Comment 3 Lukas Hasik 2008-10-20 11:09:52 UTC 
I don;t see a reason for general solution. It has to be solved for every component separately.  OTOH, it is quite easy.
Look at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.ui.wizards.OperationDescriptionPanel:87. You can use the javax.​swing.​
event.HyperlinkListener
Comment 4 Milan Kubec 2008-10-20 11:29:42 UTC 
The reason is called 'component reuse'. Why to have one thing implemented 5 times *almost the same or similar* with own
issues and bugs if we can have one reusable, documented and maintained component on one place with one set of issues. Do
you implement your own buttons when creating GUI application? I guess not. We have lots of copy/pasted code, why to add
more of it?
Comment 5 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2010-02-02 07:48:44 UTC 
This ENH indeed makes sense. And as some providers of project templates use HTML text as their description which shows as HTML but does not react to clicks on hyperlinks, this is rather a bug.

This patch reintroduced a memory leak that had previously been corrected. Refixing: core-main #c63219e81698
