Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200802270005) Java: 1.6.0_04; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b19 System: Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) Userdir: /tmp/ud -------------- - create new project with sharable libs - go to library manager, select sharable libs location - remove some libraries (motivation - user is using VCS and does not want to store unnecessary libs in VCS) - only definitions of libraries were removed, not JARs of those libraries. JARs have to be removed thru files view.
that's consistent how the library manager was behaving in the past and how it's behaving in global context as well. The jars can be referenced from other contexts and it's up to the user to do the physical deletion. wontfix or at least not a defect.
This is a little bit different case that library manager - jars are *copied* into shared libs location, so it's about deleting their copies. I agree it's not a defect - let's make it an enhancement - e.g. kind of dialog "do you want to remove also library resources" during removal would be nice...from the reason i mentioned - redundancy in VCS.
there's no way to tell which library jars were copied and which were added by the user at the time library removal..
Reassigning to default owner.
