Description John Jullion-ceccarelli 2005-02-03 15:41:05 UTC 
In the J2SE standard project properties dialog
box, the Build category node shouldn't have a help
ID. Also, when I was clicking help on all the
pages I got this help ID, any idea what it's for:

org.netbeans.modules.java.j2seproject.ui.customizer.J2SECustomizer
Comment 1 Tomas Zezula 2005-02-04 08:01:12 UTC 
Petr probably knows more about HelpIDs in the J2SEProject customizer.
Comment 2 Petr Hrebejk 2005-02-07 15:15:23 UTC 
What build do you use? When I click help I get the right help. E.g.
Jar by packaging, Compiling->Compilig, etc.

Please reopen if the problem remains in the lastest build and provide
some more info.
Comment 3 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2005-02-07 16:25:54 UTC 
If you select the Build node in left panel and click Help, you get
org.netbeans.modules.java.j2seproject.ui.customizer.J2SECustomizer.
The node doesn't have a panel associated with it, it's only for
organization purposes. It should therefore not have a help ID.
Comment 4 Petr Hrebejk 2005-02-07 16:42:31 UTC 
Why not? I think it should point to most specific help possible. So
beter to J@SE project dialog than to nowhere. No?

Do the other panels work for you?
Comment 5 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2005-02-07 16:51:19 UTC 
There is no one generic help page for the Project Properties dialog
box - there are just help pages for each of its panels. If I can
select something in the dialog box and it has no panel, it shouldn't
have a help ID and the help button should be greyed out (IMHO, using
selectable nodes for grouping purpose isn't good UI - is there any
reason a user would want to expand/collapse these nodes? Why let the
user select the node if there's no information attached.) Anyway, I
need to talk to Jano about whether he's OK with the Help button being
enabled/disabled depending on what node is selected.

Other panels are all fine.
Comment 6 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2005-02-08 09:37:16 UTC 
talked with Jano and he agrees, if the node shows an empty panel, the
Help button should be disabled. Thanks.
