Description Martin Schovanek 2004-04-05 15:23:56 UTC 
[Nb 3.6RC2, jdk1.4.2]

Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
1) start the SAX Handler Wizard
2) go to the panel 3. Data Convertors
3) set the same data convertor method name for all
elements
4) change the return type for the convertor method
ERROR: change the return type is not possible

WORKAROUND: Change the return type is possible
only if the method name is used only for one elemet.
Comment 1 _ pkuzel 2004-04-05 15:29:12 UTC 
Java does not allow two mwthod signatures that differs just in return
type.
Comment 2 Martin Schovanek 2004-04-05 17:21:41 UTC 
Yes, but why the wizard doesn't change the return type for all
elements which have set the method? It's litle unnoying if you must
unset all elements, change the return type and then set the convertor
method again.
Comment 3 _ pkuzel 2004-04-05 17:29:28 UTC 
Yes, it could. However it's corner case rather enhancement than bug ;-).
Comment 4 Martin Schovanek 2004-04-05 17:40:43 UTC 
Yes, corner and unnoying case, P4 defect seems appropriate to me. ;-)

This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed.
