Sun ONE Studio 5 (Build 030416) JDK 1.4.1_01 To reproduce: - right-click output window tab and select Clone View - right-click project tab in explorer window and select Clone View ClassCastException is thrown. I attache ide.log in this report.
Created attachment 10057 [details] ide.log file when an Exception was thrown
The problem is that given TopComponents provide CloneViewAction but they do not implement it. So they should either provide and implement it or not provide it. (In addition action could be also enabled/disabled but when TopComponent does not want to be clonable it should not provide CloneViewAction.)
I filed 2 separate issues #33116 for ProjectsTab and #33117 for OutputTabTerm.
As I filed another issues instead of this issue I will close this issue.
