Description jhoffman 2001-11-21 05:03:45 UTC 
The Mount > Add Archive (JAR, Zip) action now includes WAR files (and should 
include all valid archive types), however the name of the action does not 
reflect this functionality.  

The menu item (or node in the Mount Filesystem wizard) should say:
"Archive (JAR, Zip, WAR, etc.)"
   -or-
"Archive (many formats)"

Also, on the "Select Archive" panel, the "Files of Type" should list more than 
just "JAR, Zip".  It should enumerate all the file types that are shown--so it 
should at least say "JAR, Zip, WAR".  If EAR and EJB-JARs are also shown, then 
they should be explicitly listed here.
Comment 1 _ ttran 2001-11-21 10:26:42 UTC 
Please state exactly what the menu item text should be.  Then the text
can be changed easily.  Should be something accurate but fairly
generic.  We cannot mount all archive formats, just only ZIP-derived
formats.
Comment 2 jhoffman 2001-11-21 16:29:54 UTC 
I would like the menu item to simply say "Archive", that is, remove 
the specific archive extensions from the top level item. The "Files of 
Type" dropdown should then explicitly list all the archive extensions 
that we know we can mount. If the user wants to attempt to mount a
file with a different extension, then she can use the "All Files" 
option.

If there are too many extensions to put in a single item in the "Files 
of Type" dropdown list, then create several lines like:

"Archive (JAR, Zip, WAR)"
"Enterprise Archive (EJB-JAR, EAR)"
...
"All Files"

Passing to David.
Comment 4 David Strupl 2001-11-22 10:29:13 UTC 
Passing to Jano - it is just a bundle change for the text. Or if you
want to display more extensions it is
org.netbeans.beaninfo.JarAndZipFilter.
I have included a war file in the filter already but did not dare to
do the UI change that late (we are couple of weeks after UI freeze).
If you want to make the change please consult the documentation team
first (they might have some screenshots in the docs). Also please ask
pjiricka@netbeans.org about the extensions.

verified in [nb_dev](20020412)
Comment 8 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 16:17:03 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
