Description gliesian 2009-10-06 01:32:33 UTC 
If practical... somewhere in the IDE. be it the title bar, about box or elsewhere a note in regards to what NetBeans 
IDE Download Bundle was installed (unless I'm missing it somewhere).

For example... in the title bar, have it read, "Java SE - NetBeans IDE" for a Java SE bundle install... or maybe just 
some text in the about box.  

...just a thought as an enhancement.

Note: NetBeans 6.8 bundles include Java SE, JavaFX, Java, Ruby, C/C++, PHP, ALL.

-- Thanks, Robert

Robert,

What this information can be useful for?

BTW, you can actually turn "Java SE" bundle installation into "Ruby" one by uninstalling Java SE plugins and installing 
Ruby ones using Tools->Plugins dialog.

I'm not sure how useful... or commonly used it would be.

The developer will obviously know what they installed.

But from a Configuration Management perspective, if a CM person fired up an 
unfamiliar box, they would know exactly what IDE suite (per version) was installed (if the 
information wass provided)... also, if a log file could be created that records 
the plugin addition/removal history... that would be a CM bonus as well... even though the installed info is present 
in the Plugin Manager.

Yes... you definately can't label the bundle as it can be modified to take the form of other bundles (which would be 
confusing)... but you can include a note somewhere... (for example, "Installed as Ruby Bundle").  Even if the note is 
only in a log file.

Well...  actually this information can be obtained from the installation log file.
Search for line containing "welcome.page.type" (if it is not available, there would be no such line).
