Description Petr Slegr 2001-10-10 12:52:05 UTC 
When user invoke AutoComment action on package without sources (even if this 
package contains other packages with sources) empty (and useless) window is 
open.

I think dialog with a message should be open instead. The message could be 
like "Package doesn't contain java sources" or
"Package doesn't contain java sources. Try on a subpackage" if package 
contain/doesn't conatin subpackage respectively.
Comment 1 Petr Suchomel 2001-10-10 13:02:05 UTC 
Useless? You can reuse this window as many times as you want.
Comment 2 Petr Slegr 2001-10-10 13:11:24 UTC 
Yes, window is reusable. But imagine empty editor window into that 
you can open document(s). Wouldn't be strange?

GUI guys, what do you think?
Comment 3 Petr Suchomel 2001-10-10 13:46:51 UTC 
The same you have if your selected sources are read-only. There could 
be some icon with text "No editable sources".
Comment 4 Petr Suchomel 2001-10-26 08:49:45 UTC 
*** Issue 16955 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Comment 5 Svata Dedic 2001-11-23 07:38:28 UTC 
Formulations like "Wouldn't it be strange" and "There could be" are 
sort of suggesting that this issue is an enhancement request rather 
than defect.
Comment 6 Svata Dedic 2001-11-23 07:39:19 UTC 
Oh, BTW Petr, I'll return the issue into the dirty muds of java team 
:-)
