Description hantsy 2012-10-17 08:35:15 UTC 
I opened a class file from jar, NetBeans generated a temp read only source file for it.

But I think all editable actions(in Menu, context, editor toolar) should be disabled.

Such as delete, comments/uncomment, refactor, code generating.
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2013-07-16 06:42:05 UTC 
The same for a source from a JAR, i.e. Go To type j.l.String.
Comment 2 Svata Dedic 2013-07-16 11:02:29 UTC 
It seems that the action registration lack the ability to declare whether the action should be enabled or not depending on writability. The paste action solved as issue #222935 is handled by a special case in EditorUI.

I think the enhancement described in issue #222212 need to be extended: the action should be able to specify writability constraints. Each of the actions could eventually monitor EditorRegistry and track the focused editor and its caret; this would add a burden to editor action writers.

Reopening; keeping this open and dependent on the API issue is more proper for progress tracking

Report from old NetBeans version. Due to code changes since it was reported likely to not happen. Feel free to reopen if happens in 8.0.2 or 8.1.
