Description Petr Blaha 2005-08-26 15:14:23 UTC 
[build 20050825]
Steps to reproduce:
1) create new J2EE app with ejb and web project
2) close this project
3) go to File -> Open Recent and select your J2EE application
ERROR: only J2EE application is opened. I think that included projects should be
opened too, see 'Open Project' action for J2EE app.
Comment 1 Vince Kraemer 2005-08-26 17:08:40 UTC 
This is an interesting enhancement request.  Have you filed similar requests for
all the other projects that may have libraries?

A user may be opening a recent project to execute actions which do not require a
change (like run/debug/deploy) and they should not have to pay for all the
subprojects to be openned...

I would vote against this enhancement reuqest.
Comment 2 Petr Blaha 2005-08-29 08:54:46 UTC 
I was talking about inconsistency between 'Open Project' and 'Open Recent
Projects' actions for J2EE application. When you invoke 'Open Project' for J2EE
app than EAR app and all included modules are opened. However, for 'Open Recent
Projects' only EAR project is opened. From my point of view it's a issue not
enhancement.
Comment 3 Vince Kraemer 2005-08-29 16:56:18 UTC 
Open project ASKS (via a check box) if you want to open the required projects...

Open Recent Project doesn't have UI to allow the user to specify their preference.

Open recent doesn't open required projects (like Java Libraries) for web-app
does it?

What about J2SE projects...  Open Recent doesn't open their required projects,
either.

If you want to change the "semantics" of Open Recent, you may want to get a bit
more feedback about it.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2005-08-29 20:36:41 UTC 
This is neither a DEFECT nor a j2ee issue. It is an RFE for projects/ui to have
some dialog with a checkbox or something for Open Recent Project to also open
subprojects. Doesn't seem very high priority to me, since the user can already
just right-click the reopened project and choose Open Required Projects. Also it
would introduce a new dialog for an action which currently does not use one,
which may be undesirable.
Comment 5 Petr Blaha 2005-08-29 20:45:17 UTC 
According to your comments changing to ENH.
Comment 6 Rochelle Raccah 2005-08-29 20:48:20 UTC 
See also issue 58424 - an enhancement I filed about open recent behavior.
Comment 7 Martin Krauskopf 2006-09-11 16:29:44 UTC 
J2EE team support ends, thus returning the issue back.
Comment 8 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:53:14 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,
