The third page of the New Resource wizard (the one that lets the user dictate how the resource is used) should have those options implemented as a combo box, as specified in the Java projects spec (Figure 30). Also, if Chris agrees, there should be a text field underneath this combo box that displays text for each option: the text explains what that option is. Chris, do we have descriptions already written in uispec? Please prepare them if not.
the text area has been added to the spec, as have the descriptions. http://projects.netbeans.org/uispecs/java/JavaProjectsUISpec.html#v.iii see figure 32 for the dialog update, the descriptions are just below the figure.
Chris, I am sorry, but I can't see descriptions for 'usage types' in the uispec. Perhaps the reference is wrong.
There is also another thing. What should be the name of resource's template in NFT? Now it is JavaClasses. The uispec suggests to have two templates - JAR File and Local Filesystem, but it refers to the create resource as to the 'Simple Resource'. Current implementation of NFT supports both .jar files and folders which seems reasonable to me. I think we can have just one template (not sure about its name) which will handle both .jar files and folder. Definitely the 'Local Filesystem' template is wrong. Perhaps the template's name could be 'Simple Resource (JAR, folder)' and its description could say something more explanatory like: 'The resource containing java classes, they can be stored either in *.jar file or in folder'.

For the wizard template text, how about: Java Class Library Javadoc Library Build Target from Another Project Reference Source
sorry, the figure numbering changed so it's below figure 31 -the ul below the image. going with John's names (thanks John) use these descriptions (or any doc-writer-prefered variety): * Build Target from Another Project - Uses an output selected from another project. During compilation the system can build the other project before continuing to build the current project. * Javadoc - Add Javadoc to the project for use with code completion and the help system. * Java Class Library - Add a directory or JAR file resource to the project. * Reference Source - Adds reference sources to the project. Reference sources are primarily used in conjunction with a JAR file to enable step-into debugging for imported classes.
It seems to me that Vita was referring to the "Use Resource" combobox in the third panel of the new resource wizard ("Select Resource Purpose"), and was asking for describing items in the combo box. The items are Everywhere, Runtime, Boot Classpath.
Fixed.
