Description jrojcek 2005-02-09 16:55:18 UTC
The contextual menu should contain:

New   >
-------
Find
-------
Paste
-------
Tools

Note that the spec should accommodate that as well.
Comment 1 Vince Kraemer 2005-02-10 00:45:49 UTC
This node isn't really a file folder in the logical view. The fact
that it is implemented as a folder is an implementation detail.
Putting paste  on the node makes blurs the line between the file view
and the logical view.

New probably isn't a good thing, either.

Tools is probably wrong also.

I would propose having:

Refresh View
-----
Find...

OR 

Refresh
Find...
Comment 2 jrojcek 2005-02-14 16:19:44 UTC
I don't think it is important whether it is a folder or not. The question is whether we want 
to permit the user to create (and copy-paste) configuration files or not in Projects window. 
We probably don't want to do that. As we got rid of the refresh menu item from the 
contextual menus, it seems that only "Find" should be shown.
Comment 3 jrojcek 2005-02-28 13:05:49 UTC
So "Find..." should be the only item. The spec is in URL field.
Comment 4 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2005-03-10 10:19:31 UTC
Please use the UI keyword for all bugs that affect the UI. Vince, do you know
when these changes will be integrated and which resource bundles they will touch?
Comment 5 Vince Kraemer 2005-03-17 22:29:24 UTC
I will take this one.  I don't know how it got put on your plate.  It should 
not have.

Comment 6 Andrei Badea 2005-03-17 23:11:06 UTC
It'll have to be fixed as well in the EJB and web projects, they have
Configuration Files nodes too. And I have no idea how I'll implement the Find
functionality in the web project, since that node is not based on a folder.

Anyway, please assign it back to me after you fix it in earproject.
Comment 7 Vince Kraemer 2005-03-18 00:10:23 UTC
Does this issue apply to ejb FF projects, too?
Comment 8 jrojcek 2005-03-18 09:49:04 UTC
Yes, I applies to FF projects as well.
Comment 9 Andrei Badea 2005-03-18 10:02:27 UTC
Jano, I don't see a Configuration Files node in the UI spec of the EJB freeform
(http://j2ee.netbeans.org/nonav/docs/ejb-freeform-project-ui-spec-promoe.html).
Actually, there's no spec of the freeform project node at all...
Comment 10 jrojcek 2005-03-18 10:04:02 UTC
Yes, there isn't a spec for it. Please fix it anyway and then reassing to Jirka Kopsa to fix the spec. 
Thanks.
Comment 11 Andrei Badea 2005-03-18 10:08:34 UTC
Yet once more we implement things without having a spec. Not that the config
files node is hard to do, I'm just pointing out that:

- there's no spec

- we're way beyond feature freeze

- we're two weeks before high resistance

Any user request supporting this request?
Comment 12 jrojcek 2005-03-18 13:01:28 UTC
User request is "Consistency across project types.".
Comment 14 Vince Kraemer 2005-03-22 16:46:42 UTC
fixed in ear, too.
