Database Explorer is NOT providing any way to invoke VisualSQLEditor. Where as the spec http://wiki.netbeans.org/VisualSQLEditorFunctionalSpecification and http://wiki.netbeans.org/VisualSQLEditorInvocationUI mentions about an extra Menu Item ('Design Query') to be used for invoking Visual Editor. I could not find this in current 6.5 and even in current 6.7 milestone build.
Are you using VisualWeb component? Check VisualWeb documentation for more information.
I remember that VisualWeb ans Web are merged into JavaEE support. Does this not mean that all the VisualWeb Components are available for normal Project? Also, I noticed that VisualSQLEditor (db.sql.visualeditor) module is showing as active in Modulemanager. http://visualweb.netbeans.org/ does not contain any information of change in use-case. Re-opening.. Kindly provide the necessary clarifications.
Let me be clear in what I'm looking for: As per the spec in the mentioned wiki, there is NO indication that VisualSQLEditor is available ONLY for visual web projects. 1.VisualSQLEditor should be invokable for DB Explorer as mentioned in http://wiki.netbeans.org/VisualSQLEditorInvocationUI This would enable developers (who are NOT SO GOOD at SQL) to design their SQL Queries using the rich functionality of VisualSQLEditor. Having said that, I expect VisualSQLEditor to be independently available irrespective of whether or not a user is developing a VisualWeb Project. If you consider this as a RFE, I don't have any issues with that. However, IMHO, turning down this request as INVALID is NOT appropriate. As of now, Netbeans is ALREADY shipping with this rich functionality (but in a NARROW SCOPE of VisualWeb). Tweaking it to be available as general option would be of great value for developers. Kindly consider this.
I'm still thinking it RFE belongs to Visual Web area. There is a implementation of this UI spec. They should take care of added this action into Database Explorer node, there is API for it.
will this be addessed in 6.7? it seems, API is ready and only UI needs to be updated to invoke the existing API.
when can we expect this to be addressed?
