Description sqazi 2009-09-08 17:50:50 UTC
I am trying to add a new javascript library, but I cannot because the JavaScript Libraries category is missing in the 
Add New Library window.
Comment 1 Peter Pis 2009-09-08 19:37:32 UTC
Reassigning for further evaluation.
Comment 2 sqazi 2009-09-10 14:56:08 UTC
Please let me know if there is a resolution to this issue.

The Javascript Libraries category is missing. 
Comment 3 Petr Pisl 2009-09-14 14:06:28 UTC
Is it in NB 6.7 or NB 6.8? The javascript library UI was removed after NetBeans 6.7. 
Comment 4 sqazi 2009-09-14 18:57:44 UTC
The category was missing in NB 6.7.

I recently moved to the NB 6.8 M1 and it was missing in this version also.  I then added the jquery/dojo javascript 
libraries using the netbeans plugin UI.  The addition of these javascript libraries with the plugin UI added 
the "JavaScript Libraries" category to the new Library addition UI.

Are the javascript libraries being removed from all new versions of NB??
Comment 5 Petr Pisl 2009-09-16 10:15:22 UTC
Basically yes. The ui wasn't good enough and we want to do the JavaScript libraries integration much more clever than
just copying files to the project. Also it wasn't easy to keep up to date the libraries versions. So there was a
decision to remove this from NB 7, if I remember correctly. 

Basically for you it means, that you have to download the library from the provider and copy/unzip into your project.
Editor features like code completion are not influence by this. I'm sorry for this inconvenience. 

I'm marking this issue as wontfix. In the future there should be a JavaScript library integration that will fit more to
the developer process than just copying resources to the project.
