Description Milan Kubec 2003-04-09 13:11:13 UTC 
Classpath customizer should be available in
"project customizer, compiled classes Build Target
customizer, and execution/debug profile" according
to UI Spec. Project customizer doesn't contain any
classpath tabs and execution profile customizer
contains only tabs Runtime Classpath and Boot
Classpath.
Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2003-04-09 15:01:49 UTC 
#1 - it makes no sense to present compilation classpath on exec
profile customizer (the runtime and boot CP are exactly what you
need); if the uispec says something else then it should be updated

#2 - IMO Project customizer should contain CP customizer, but Chris
told me yesterday that user should control the project-wide classpath
only through resources under the Resources Node. Chris, we need this
to be clarified, please. If it's ok to have CP customizer for project
then reassign this back to java developement.
Comment 2 Chris Ledantec 2003-04-09 15:14:32 UTC 
1. the spec does not present a compilation classpath on any profile
(execution or otherwise)

2. for now let's leave it as designed -no classpath customizer on the
project node. the resources node is the de facto customizer for the
project.
Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2003-04-09 16:02:13 UTC 
#1 - Hmm, so what are 'Classpath' and 'Boot Classpath' tabs on Figure
61. and 62. supposed to present? If you plan to remove them I strongly
disagree.

#2 - Agreed, for usability study.
Comment 4 Chris Ledantec 2003-04-09 16:07:20 UTC 
those are for running the project, not compiling it. and they aren't
going anywhere. ;-)
Comment 5 Milan Kubec 2003-04-09 16:32:20 UTC 
There is not term as "Compilation classpath" in UI Spec. There are
three tabs of Classpath customizer (figure 39 of Java UI Spec) -
"General Classpath", "Runtime Classpath" and "Boot Classpath". UI Spec
then says that those tabs will show up as a part of these three
customizers: project customizer, compiled classes Build Target
customizer, and execution/debug profile. Also Spec uses term "project
classpath", which is not clear to me then.
Comment 6 Chris Ledantec 2003-04-09 16:34:52 UTC 
the spec has some wording problems that will be updated in the next
rev. i've known about them but thanks for reminding me.
Comment 7 Chris Ledantec 2003-04-10 15:27:46 UTC 
see version 1.24 of the spec.
Comment 8 Milan Kubec 2003-08-13 14:38:31 UTC 
UI spec has changed from the time of filing the issue.
