Description clever 2005-11-23 15:59:00 UTC
[ BUILD # : 200511211900 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.4.2_xx ]

I'm looking for a class in my current project. I have three other projects open. The class in question, "StringUtils".  I uncheck 'show non-project classes expecting that it will only show results from my current project. I still get the results from all projects. I have to "Show in project" in order to know where the opened class resides.

I think, that this is as designed. Non-project class is class outside of any
project (e.g. library or JDK class).
Comment 2 clever 2005-11-23 16:10:52 UTC
Hmm....
"Show non-project classes".. 

Perhaps this should be changed to say "Show non-workspace classes".. or "Search
only classes of loaded projects"..

'project' to me implies the project under the current context of my editor or
the project navigator.

Either way, I would like to search only my selected project.
Since NB has no notion of a 'workspace', I am forced to have many projects
opened at once to be productive.

Jano, can you take care of this issue?
Comment 4 Jan Becicka 2005-11-24 13:32:02 UTC
Let me change the type to enhancement. We discussed the label and agreed, that
current label is the best one. Even if we would like to change the label, we
cannot do it for 5.0 - because we have UI freeze. We can consider improvements
in future releases.
