To reproduce: -Open wizard via New/Template/Jar Archives/Jar Recipe -Push Next via pressing Enter On the panel Basic Recipe Properties focus is on the button Back instead the Recipe Name textfield. The same problem is for other panels. release 5 build 030310, jdk 1.4.0
Assigning to a11y module for investigation.
I don't think is a problem in openide/wizards. The panel provided by jarpackager should listen of focusGained and transfer focus to name's textfield. It don't seem as showstopper for me, it should be fixed to 4.0.
Assign back to jarpackager, if a problem persists reassign to openide/wizards.
The listener is there, but no focus is ever given to the panel if using the keyboard. I don't understand the mechanism (if there's any) of choosing the first focused component. Any ideas or tips? Thanks.
The wizard was "standardized" by prepending the standard target-location panel to the new-from-template wizard. The focus on the panel is correct.
It is wrong when focus in on the Back button, focus should be in the first textfield. Per the Java Look & Feel Design Guidelines: "When opening a dialog box, provide initial keyboard focus to the component that you expect users to operate first. This focus is especially important for users who must use a keyboard to navigate your application." Please see http://webwork.sfbay/products/jlf/ed2/book/index.html See also evaluation for bug 35213 - a11y: wrong initial focus in the Setup Wizard dialog. The same problem exists for New/Other/Text File on the Choose Extention panel New/Other/Web Bookmark on the Set Bookmark URL panel New/Java Classes/Java Class on the Basic Class Definition panel and so on.. I don't know who is responsible for this wizards. May be the issue has to be fixed in some common place or in different modules, but this bug should be fixed any way.
jarpackager UI now gone.
