I'm running IDE on Windows with 1366x768 resolution. NetBeans Platform Application context menu now takes all the screen height. I guess we should rearrange this menu for the better user experience.
Ondra, any action has to be taken here ?
Yes, the menu is a mess, let's clean it a little bit. My suggestion is bellow. Any feedback/suggestions on item categorization/grouping is welcome, don't see this as written in stone .. 1) remove separating line between "Profile" & "Test All". 2) Move all "Build" actions into the Build section (I mean the Build ZIP distribution, Build Mac OS X Application, ... ) 3) Move "Test All" into section with Run/Debug/Profile .. 4) Group "Build Mac OS X App", "Create NBM" and "Build ZIP distribution" into a submenu (possible name: "Distribute" and locate this group in one section with Build related actions. 5) Distribute JNLP related actions into appropriate sections - Debug JNLP with Debug & test sections, Build with other Build actions, etc .. This should be enough for the menu to fit comfortably in the screen. So, the menu would look as follows: New > --- Build All Build JNLP App Clean and Build All Clean All Distribute > Build Mac OS X Application > Create NBMs > Build ZIP Distribution --- Run Debug Debug JNLP App Profile Test All --- OSGI > --- Set as Main Project Open Required Projects Close --- Rename Move Delete --- Find --- Share on Team Server Subversion > Local History > --- Branding Properties Jesse, what are your thoughts on this?
I would probably put JNLP-related stuff into its own submenu, as we already do for OSGi (an analogous case). "Distribute" submenu could better be called "Package", and items renamed.
Makes sense. I've called the distribute menu "Package as" and renamed the items inside + moved JNLP to a standalone submenu: New > --- Build All Clean and Build All Clean All Package as > Mac OS X Application > NetBeans Modules (NBM) > ZIP Distribution --- Run Debug Profile Test All --- JNLP > (Build, Run, Debug) OSGI > --- Set as Main Project Open Required Projects Close --- Rename Move Delete --- Find --- Share on Team Server Subversion > Local History > --- Branding Properties

Ken, any changes in docs needed to reflect the changes?
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201011130001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/ec9e067f1938 User: Jesse Glick <jglick@netbeans.org> Log: #190013: Platform application context menu is too tall
There may be minor changes to some of the Maven tutorials. I will have to go through the tutorials to check. For other Platform tutorials I am assuming that Geertjan will take care of it
Maven projects were not affected, only Ant-based module suite projects.
