[ 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.

"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.

Integrated into 'main-golden' Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/3e69f96fd39e User: Jesse Glick <jglick@netbeans.org> Log: Replacing current view with a different version can be misleading. Better to just open a new viewer. (Mentioned in #201648.)
