This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
See the nbusers post in 'URL'. Here is an excerpt: "To get going in Netbeans I only have to do the following: 1. Start Netbeans. 2. Mount all 3rd-party jars our project uses. 3. Mount src/java 4. Open a file I'm interested in editing/compiling. 5. Edit file 6. Hit Compile So there are only about 4 + (numberOfMounts * x) mouse clicks to get started - where 'x' are the number of clicks to mount a filesystem (sorry for counting double-clicks as a single click :-) With NB 4.0, there are a bunch of clicks - just to get the project defined. Then there are more clicks & typing to tell NB to leave the .class files in the same directory as the src."
Possible solutions or improvements could be: 1) Provide easier access to project customizer, e.g. place an icon to the toolbar. 2) Provide easier access to library management, e.g. have a 'Manage Libraries' menu item in the project's popup menu that would open the project customizer in the libraries category. 3) In the wizard that creates project existing sources, offer inclusion of libraries into project that are somehow collocated with the selected sources folder. 4) Double-clicking on a project in the project creation wizard should behave as if 'Next' was pressed in the wizard. Thoughts? Ideas?
All sound reasonable; will leave to Jano to think about them. This issue should ultimately be closed and refiled as separate, specific items.
#1 is IMHO covered by issue #46092.
#2 covered by issue #49641. #3 and #4 should be filed separately and then this issue closed. For the future please file more specific issues.
I've filed #4 as issue #55627. Petr, please file #3 if you think it should be implemented. Other issues are filed individually. I am closing as FIXED, as I am not sure what is more appropriate.
