Description jerosser 2005-02-27 19:02:14 UTC
The functionallity of the Class Wizard from 3
series NetBeans is missing from 4 series.  This is
a FATAL flaw for my development team.

Sequence is as follows:

Select New File from File menu.
File type window displayed, select "Java Class" or
any of the other class types.  Click Next.
Name and Location window displayed.  Enter class
name, select the location, and package.  Opps,
CAN'T CLICK NEXT!!!!
Should have gone to the class def page here and on
through the fields, overrides, and methods pages.

The generate file is correct as far as it goes,
but significant work is now needed that was not
required in 3 series.

Please describe your usecase. Thanks.
Comment 2 Jan Becicka 2005-02-28 10:05:05 UTC
Implemented by j2se project.
Comment 3 Jan Chalupa 2005-03-01 08:04:21 UTC
The Class Wizard was conciously dropped from the 4.x UI specs on the
assumption that the usability of the feature in 3.x was limited and
most users found it easier and faster to type things in in the editor
rather than working with over-complicated forms. This decision may be
revisited in the future based on the user feedback.

The current implementation is by the spec, so I do not consider this
issue to be a DEFECT and change its status to ENHANCEMENT. Feel free
to vote for it, if you strongly believe the Class Wizard should be
part of the product.

This has nothing to do with j2seproject.

The UI spec was changed for a reason; no plans to revert that decision unless
there is broad feedback that it was wrong (and I have not heard of any other
than this issue), so closing for now.
