In 8.0RC1 I cannot delete a repository from the IDE's Services window. (Maven Repositories node) For some repos the "Delete" action is active in the context menu, while for others it is not. There's an old bug report (bug 179880) which kinda deals with the same issue, except that ticket is solely about local repos. I see the issue on non-local repos. I cannot really find the system why the action is active on some repos and for others not.
some of the nodes and explicitly defined by user - these can be deleted. Some are automatically inserted by the open projects (they are defined in opened projects). These cannot be deleted. I recall that at some point in time, the manual vs automatic was designated by additional text or some coloring in the nodes. Needs probably investigation into why this visual difference disappeared.
I see. That makes sense. Yes, it would be nice to have some visual difference or a tooltip text that would say "Origin : from opened projects" or "Origin: Manually entered" or "Origin: Entered by the IDE" .. or something.
fixed in jet-main #bc5a80e88c6b
