Description John Jullion-ceccarelli 2002-03-08 14:54:22 UTC 
The org.openide.execution.NbProcessDescriptor property editor is used in 
several places in the Options window, and it has the same Help ID - 
org.netbeans.beaninfo.editors.NbProcessDescriptorCustomEditor - for each place 
it's used. Need this property editor to have a different help ID when it is 
called from all of the following properties:

1. Debugging and Executing | Debugger Types | [all debugger types] | External 
Process | Property Editor: External Process
2. Building | Compiler Types | [all compiler types that have External Compiler 
property | External Compiler | Property Editor: External Compiler 
3. IDE Configuration | Server and External Tool Settings | Webbrowsers | All 
External Browser nodes | Browser Executable | Property Editor:  Browser 
Executable
Comment 1 Patrick Keegan 2002-03-12 14:20:49 UTC 
Switching to defect as most of the other help ID requests are marked.
Comment 2 _ ttran 2002-03-15 15:13:27 UTC 
Ales, do you think that this is technically possible?
Comment 3 akemr 2002-03-15 15:21:39 UTC 
Fixed in 3.4 - see #19294, cannot be fixed for 3.3.2 because it
depends on new 3.4 feature.

*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 19294 ***
Comment 4 _ ttran 2002-03-15 15:36:28 UTC 
Patrick is this acceptable for you (forte) if we won't fix this?
Comment 5 Patrick Keegan 2002-03-15 16:04:39 UTC 
Unfortunate, but I don't think this is a showstopper FFJ 4.0. I take it that the fix is not super 
low-impact. CC'ing Rochelle, who filed 19294. If it's OK with Gail and Rochelle, I think we can leave 
this for 3.4.

Gail, will it be possible to document this prop. ed. generically for Orion? It seems to me that the most 
important info you could provide would be syntax-related.
Comment 6 Rochelle Raccah 2002-03-15 16:09:38 UTC 
It's okay with me to wait for 3.4.
Comment 7 Gail Chappell 2002-03-15 16:38:09 UTC 
Yes, its o.k. to wait for 3.4.  I'll work the documentation
around it.
Comment 8 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2002-04-02 15:17:10 UTC 
This dialog is used in more places than I thought! It's 
also used in most Execution Types under Tools | Options. 
Please give every instance a unique ID. Thanks.
Comment 9 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2002-05-21 14:45:46 UTC 
reopening, as 19294 has been fixed but the property 
descriptor dialog box still has the same help id 
everywhere it's used.
Comment 10 akemr 2002-05-22 12:47:30 UTC 
NbProcessDescriptor now implements ExPropertyEditor to
allow specify helpID for different properties.

So it's fixed from my point of view. You should file separate issues
against executors, browsers.. to specify own helpID
for these properties

example:
propertyDescriptor.setValue( ExPropertyEditor.PROPERTY_HELP_ID, helpID )
Comment 11 Marian Mirilovic 2002-10-09 16:05:37 UTC 
Patrick, John : 
(do not compile), (do not execute) and (do not debug) hasn't set own
ID (or it doesn't work), Is it correct ?

By the way verified in [nb_dev](20021009), except asked samples.
Comment 12 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2002-10-09 17:52:13 UTC 
Thanks for catching that. I'll get those hooked up.
Comment 13 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 16:44:48 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
