Description Vladimir Riha 2015-04-09 11:05:46 UTC 
It could be useful in order to simplify/increase discoverability to have "Manage packages" action in context menu (in Projects window and possibly in editor as well) of package.json and bower.json and this action would open Project Properties->JavaScript libraries -> NPM or Bower dialog. Personally, if I were to see package.json for the first time in NetBeans, I would probably right click on it to see what's there :) But please feel free to close if you disagree.

Thanks

Isn't it enough that one can right-click Bower/CDNJS/npm Libraries node and choose Properties? I would like to avoid adding another action to the file node... Feel free to reopen, also adding Honza to CC as he can have any idea.

BTW I just fixed incorrect Project Properties category for Bower Libraries.

Thanks.

Perhaps better status? :)
Comment 3 Vladimir Riha 2015-04-09 11:48:47 UTC 
I guess it is enough, frankly I forgot about it :)  The node is not there if you have no dependencies yet and personally right clicking on the given json file seemed to me a bit more straightforward. But this was just an idea, I'm fine with keeping it the way it is now.
