Description tim_sa 2011-09-05 16:19:52 UTC
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7 ]

I am allowed to add dependencies via the Project View (Project -> dependencies
-> add dependency )

I should be allowed to edit a dependency via a samiliar mechanism - (Project ->
dependencies  -> <dependency> -> edit dependency

as an additional note I see that you can edit versions via the 'view artifact details' menu option and the associated screen. 

I think there is still a place for a quick edit of the artifacts. As an example if i wrote org.net.external instead of org.netbeans.external in the groupID a quick edit screen where I can just fix my typo

Not sure what you are talking about - you cannot edit the version of an artifact. "Other Versions" just switches the display to a cousin artifact.

Apologies - I saw what I wanted to see. The version number changed on the screen, and I assumed that it had changed the dependency. comment #2 is irrelevent.

Probably means the UI of the artifact viewer is bad. I can try to make it clearer.

Integrated into 'main-golden'

Log: Replacing current view with a different version can be misleading.
Better to just open a new viewer. (Mentioned in #201648.)

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
