Description Milan Kubec 2004-09-17 10:10:33 UTC 
It might be useful to have tab called Libraries
that would show all libraries the similar way how
Library Manager does. User would be able to manage
libraries (adding/removing/modifying) in this tab.
Node would show:
LibrayName
  - Sources
    - /usr/library/src
  - Classes
    - /usr/library/library.jar
  - Javadoc
    - /usr/library/docs/api
Adding contents of Sources, Classes and Javadoc
nodes will be possible in the new Tab. As well as
modifying order of subnodes etc.
Some easy way of transfering selected library to
projects should be supported.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2004-09-17 15:44:02 UTC 
I guess I don't see any particular reason to take a working dialog and
just convert it into a tab, but maybe Jano will have a different opinion.
Comment 2 Milan Kubec 2004-09-20 08:23:00 UTC 
IMO tab is better accessible and usable than dialog with three other
tabs, where I need to open the dialog select the tab then Add
something and then select it. Using the tab: you do one click to
select the Libraries tab then right click on the node of library and
select Add something.
Comment 3 Petr Hrebejk 2004-09-20 08:54:57 UTC 
Jano should decide. 

But to be honest I really dislikle this idea. Sounds like another
runtime tab which we have hard time getting rid of.  And why to add
another tab to explorer for something the user needs for  1% of time.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2004-09-28 16:56:27 UTC 
Probably issue #49641 would obsolete this.
Comment 5 Milan Kubec 2005-02-25 13:31:36 UTC 
Obsoleted by Libraries node.
