Now users have no chance to change the context.xml file directly in form of a xml document. They can only edit the 'path' property throught the j2ee editor. There can be added a lot of paramaters and nested components in the context container so I think there should be an Edit action on the context node which opens the context.xml in editor. I am aware of that there is a design flaw with the j2eee UI editor which prevents this to be done in a simple way so setting target milestone to Promo D.
This issue was mentioned in the NetCAT program as critical problem thus tagging it with a magic prefix.
I've added support for xml editing along with the visual editing. The text and visual editors are not fully synchronized (which was the reason why this was removed some time ago) and there is no support for mutually exclusive editors in nb. So I am disabling the Edit action when the visual editor is open and the Open actions when the text/xml editor is open. I am aware of one remaining issue: if the text/xml editor remains open when the IDE is being closed the Open action is not disabled when it is open again. I plan to resolve this ASAP, but given the late stage of release cycle I commited the code in to allow testing.
I would like to ask you Pavle if you have the fix already prepared because tomorrow is the last working day when P3 fixes can be integrated. I hope that Target Milestone set to 3.6 is still valid and you don't plan to ignore opinion of 9 people.
I filed the remaining small issue as #40534, closing this one as fixed.
