Classification of templates in New File dialog shows all Swing forms under Java GUI Forms, but AWT Forms and Sample Forms are under "subfolder" of Java GUI Forms. IMHO Swing Forms are "on the same level" as AWT Forms thus all GUI form temapltes should be subfolders of Java GUI Forms which shouldn't contain any templates: Java GUI Forms - Swing Forms - AWT Forms - Sample Forms
As designed. We want to guide people toward Swing forms. Few people use AWT anymore. Anyway this decision was made long ago, I think - better to sacrifice a little technical consistency in the interests of usability for the common cases.
I have the following problem with this structure: 1.Let's have the following tree: |Java Classes +Java GUI Forms |Java Beans Architecture Objects... 2. I click + to expand Java GUI Forms and got this: |Java Classes +Java GUI Forms -AWT Forms -Sample Forms |Java Beans Architecture Objects... User doesn't see Swing forms now! That's the problem -> reopening issue.
I.e. an unintended consequence of changing from the traditional tree view of templates to the mixed tree + list view. Not critical; the Swing forms are still there if you click on the Java GUI Forms node; just looks bad.
Already fixed.
