The Rainier release is setting 3 directories in the netbeans.dirs property. The Details tab of the About box has a field called "IDE Install" when shows the full netbeans.dirs in a single line. This makes the window grow very wide. The IDE Install field should either be removed or (better) broken into multiple lines if multiple directories are to be displayed.
Please define what to do? Assigning to HIE.
I think the right solution here is to do two things: 1) put each path on a separate line 2) wrap any text in the "Detail" window if it is too long. Where "too long" means wider than the image in the "about" tab. When things wrap, they should wrap to below the "value" column, not into the "key" column. That is, the full text might be: VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.4.1_03-b04-2003.02.05-14:34:34.1234 and should be presented as: VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.4.1_03-b04-2003.02.05-14:34:34.1234 NOT: VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.4.1_03-b04-2003.02.05-14:34:34.1234 Wrapping should be done using a reasonably normal algorithm (if one can use the built in swing text algorithm that would be best. otherwise break on spaces, and then punctuation, then absolute character boundaries)
Assigning to Dafe.
Eval: Yep, I understand. I'll use standard non-editable Swing text area for wrapping.
Planned for promo-D.
Needed for Mercury. This should be a simple fix for something which makes the product look sloppy and inconsistant.
Pardon my ignorance, what is MERCURY? It is not specified in keyword explanation.
MERCURY is next release after RAINIER (and next will be VENUS) the plan for Mercury and Vulcan is to use NB3.5 code
NB 3.6 code, not NB 3.5, I hope.
Nope. NB 3.5 code. But requested changes will be minimal for both Mercury and Vulcan.
added NO36 kw. This isn't needed change for release36
Yarda, this should be fixed before we merge the install layout branch
Fixed in layout_32080 branch, will be part of merge of that branch to trunk.
