Currently, the Create Properties File wizard assumes that you don't already have an ant.properties file that you would like to associate with the build script. We should change this so that the property allows you to enter a file name, the ... opens the wizard, the first page of the wizard contains a file chooser where they can select the file and a New Properties File button if they want to create one. I know that this is all much more laborious than just entering the one <property file="myproperties.ant.properties"/> tag directly in the source but if we're going to have the wizard we might as well make it support all the likely use cases.
John, we talked about this problem, but now it seems to me more like Enhancement than Defect, so I suggest to change it to Enhancement. Do you agree? I'm also assigning the bug to UI team.
Sure, enhancement is fine.
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
Reassigning to Jano.
This wizard is long gone.
