Description Mark Dey 2005-03-18 22:42:22 UTC 
Currently there is only the J2SELibraryType, however if a module is added that
defines a new LibraryTypeProvider, instances of this library appear inline with
other J2SE libraries. The UI should be fixed to organize libraries by library
type. Also, libraries that are not applicable to the project should probably be
grey-ed out.
Comment 1 Pavel Buzek 2005-03-18 23:51:48 UTC 
Do you have a specific example to help my imagination? Thanks.
Comment 2 Mark Dey 2005-04-22 04:51:44 UTC 
Do you mean an example of another library type? Consider for example, a
ComponentLibraryType that contains, classpath information (similar to J2SE
volumes), plus volumes for helpsets, design time metadata, etc. When viewing the
list of available libraries, one would expect a UI something like:

Class Libraries
    j2selib1
    j2selib2
Component Libraries
    complib1
    complib2
Comment 3 David Konecny 2008-04-09 00:47:12 UTC 
Generic library chooser needs to be altered.
Comment 4 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:39:01 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
