NB 5.0 (200509151800), JDK 1.5.0_05 Collaboration modules downloaded from the Development Update center According to Functional specification, there is missing "Share project" action on the project node in Project view. I think this action would really help new users to work with File sharing.
This issue has been also pointed during the UI review of collaboration module as a P1.
This is high priority usability concern and is both quite easy to implement and document. I'm going to implement it. CCing docs. Is always present (disabled in case no session is open) action in project's node ctx menu acceptable from HIE standpoint?
If the Collaboration module is installed, the menu item should be always present (disabled/enabled). About the placement of the menu item: I would suggest having this order in the contextual menu: ... ---------- Share [dynamical text: Project, Package, File] CVS > Tools > Properties ---------- Note that CVS menu item is not placed correctly as it's designed in the UI spec.
> Share [dynamical text: Project, Package, File] I can only add the action to the Project menu, there is no generic API to plug action into package/folder/file nodes. I'll order the menu item relatively to (above) CVS action in project's menu.
Implemented in: collab/filesharing/CHANGELOG,v1.3 collab/filesharing/src/org/netbeans/modules/collab/channel/filesharing/resources/layer.xml,v1.3 collab/filesharing/src/org/netbeans/modules/collab/channel/filesharing/ui/actions/Bundle.properties,v1.2 collab/filesharing/src/org/netbeans/modules/collab/channel/filesharing/ui/actions/ShareProjectAction.java,v1.1 Will be available through AU as Collab Filesharing v1.0.3
