[dev-200412191900, JDK 1.5.0_01] 'Properties' menu item of platform node under Libraries node is disabled.
There is no "Properties" action according to the UI Spec. It was removed.
Don't undestand why user should do something the more difficult way if there might be easier one. Nevermind, reopening and reassigning to Jano. Nodes under Libraries and Test Libraries nodes should have Properties in their menus. Selecting Properties menu item would open either Library Manager or Java Platform Manager with selected coresponding item. User would be allowed easily access properties of something that is on the classpath without invoking those Managers and searching for the item.
Still valid in promoF (200508111800). Old target milestone, changing to TBD.
I agree that it would be good to be able to access platform/library properties from contextual menus. The library dialog would look like this: http://projects.netbeans.org/nonav/buildsys/j2se-project-ui-spec- promoe.html#Dialog_One_Library_Manager Too late for 5.0
I think the behavior is specified. Let me know if you need more info. Not sure this is a defect. Rather an enhancement.
