BACKGROUND:

As it stands today, there appear to be two type 
of filesystem names presented to the user:

* The full path (displayed in the 'Filesystems' 
pane, in the IDE);

* An internally-generated 'short path', 
consisting of the lowest-level folder (displayed 
in both the 'Change Order' dialog box, as well as 
the Filesystem 'Customize' dialog).

From a UI consistency perspective, it would be 
ideal if the filesystem name were consistent -- 
so that either the short path, or long path, are 
displayed everywhere.  In addition, if the user 
could actually name a filesystem (via a 'Name' 
attribute) -- that would be even better.


JUSTIFICATION:

* The generated 'short path' causes UI problems 
when the same lowest-level folder names are 
used.  (i.e., mount a few filesystems where 'src' 
is the lowest folder, and then try changing the 
order -- you will see that NetBeans 
generates 'short path' names of src_2, src_3, 
etc. -- which is confusing).

* Very long folder names (i.e., c:\Documents and 
Settings\<My User ID>\NetBeans\Development\<My 
Project Name>\...) do not fit in the Filesystems 
window -- and it would be wonderful if one could 
rename these to something shorter (i.e., 'Project 
ABC Sources', 'Java 1.4.2 Sources', etc.)
